Climate
Control
drawer
How it Works
The
Climate Control
feature is a system of
dampers, a fan, and a temperature thermistor.
The Climate Control drawer can be used to
chill items quickly, thaw foods quickly or store
items at their optimum temperatures.
The drawer is tightly sealed to prevent
the drawer’s temperature from causing
temperature fluctuations in the rest of the
refrigerator.
SELECT TEMP—
Use this feature to store
items at their optimum temperatures. The
CITRUS
setting will maintain a drawer
temperature of 39–47°F. The
PRODUCE
setting will maintain the drawer temperature at
31–38°F. The
MEAT
setting will maintain the
drawer temperature at 27–37°F.
EXPRESS CHILL—
This feature can be
used to cool items in minutes, rather than
hours. Extra cool air is circulated throughout
the drawer. Once the cycle is complete, the
drawer will revert to the OFF mode.
EXPRESS THAW—
This feature thaws items
in hours rather than days. Food is gently
thawed in a cool environment by circulating
air throughout the drawer. Temperature is
maintained in the drawer by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. Once the thaw
cycle is complete, the pan will automatically
adjust to a temperature of 27–37°F to store
the food at its optimum temperature.
NOTE:
When the controls on the Climate
Control drawer are turned off, the drawer will
maintain temperatures at 42-48°.
