KitchenAid Bottom-Mount Built-In Refrigerator ユーザーズマニュアル

■

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to 
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

■

You may hear a gurgling sound at the defrost drain after the 
door is closed.

■

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a 
popping noise.

■

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the 
condenser fan.

■

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the 
defrost cycle.

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit 
airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in 
the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in 
the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section 
and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the 
refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across 
shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the 
bottom. 

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents 
are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and 
moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any 
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must 
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent 
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

■

The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment 
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer 
compartment temperature.

■

Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put 
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled 
completely, your food may spoil. 

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a 
lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any 
faster.

■

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or 
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not 
blocked before adjusting the controls.

■

The preset settings should be correct for normal household 
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as 
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■

The actual temperature may differ from the display when a 
door is open for an extended period of time or when the 
refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for 
the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

■

Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad. 

NOTE: 

■

After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio 
alarm and indicator light may activate every 1

¹⁄₂ hours until 

the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) 
and 15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. 
To turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master 
Alarm Reset.”

■

The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down 
refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and 
compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the 
power ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See 
“Power ON/OFF Switch.”

■

Press °C touch pad. To redisplay degrees Fahrenheit, press 
°C again. 

NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign 
next to the freezer display will light up. This is normal. 

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the 
temperatures before other adjustments are made.

■

Press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) touch 
pad until the desired temperature is reached.
