Control
drawer
How it Works
The Climate Control feature is a system of
dampers, a fan, a temperature thermistor,
a heater and a specially designed tray.
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 43°F by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. The PRODUCE
setting will maintain the drawer temperature
at 34°F by drawing in additional cold air as
needed. The MEAT setting will maintain the
drawer temperature at 32°F by drawing in
additional cold air as needed.
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 pre-set fresh food
temperature.
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 32°F to store the
food at its optimum temperature.
Climate Control Tray–Besides using the
specially designed Climate Control tray
when using the drawer, it can also be used
as a chilled serving tray to keep foods cold.
NOTE: By turning the controls on the Climate
Control drawer off, the drawer can be used as a
standard sealed produce pan. The temperature
inside the drawer will be the same as the fresh
food compartment.
How to Use
1 Empty the drawer. Place the tray in the
drawer. Place the items on the tray and
close the drawer completely.
2 Select the Express Thaw,™ Express Chill™ or
Select Temp™ pad. The display will come on.
Press the pad until the light appears next
to the desired setting. Use the chart on the
next page to determine the best setting.
• To stop a feature before it is finished,
press that feature’s pad until no options
are selected and the display is off.
• During Express Thaw™ and Express Chill,™
the display on the controls will count
down the time remaining in the cycle.
• After the Express Thaw™ cycle is
complete, the drawer will reset to the
MEAT setting (32°F) to help preserve
thawed items until they are used.
• The displayed actual temperature of the
Climate Control drawer may vary slightly
from the SET temperature based on usage
and operation environment.
NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is
recommended that foods be wrapped in
plastic wrap when using Express Thaw.™
This will help contain meat juices and
improve thawing performance.
