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 39–47°F
by cycling a small heater off and on as needed.
The PRODUCE setting will maintain the drawer
temperature at 31–38°F by drawing in additional
cold air as needed. The MEAT setting will
maintain the drawer temperature at 27–37°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 27–37°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. 

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 (27–37°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.
