What's New Behind the Doors? Your KitchenAid® French door bottom-mount refrigerator comes equipped with various innovative storage and energy efficient features. Energy and Normal Operating Sounds Your new French door bottom-mount refrigerator has been designed with a linear compressor to optimize energy efficiency and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. You may notice that it operates differently than your previously owned refrigerator. It is normal for the high-efficiency compressor to run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to consume only the energy necessary for optimum efficiency. In addition, during various stages of the cooling cycle, you may hear normal operating sounds that are unfamiliar to you. In-Door-Ice® Ice Dispensing System The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the door for easy access to filtered ice while freeing up valuable shelf space inside. Dual Evaporator The refrigerator and freezer compartments have separate evaporators to provide fresh food and frozen food with optimal storage climates: cool and humid in the fresh food, cold and dry in the freezer, no mixing of air between the compartments to reduce the transfer of food odors and tastes from refrigerator, and allow freezer air to remain dry to control frost and reduce freezer burn. Air Filter An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. Replace your air filter every 6 months for maximum odor reduction. Produce Preserver Ethylene is a natural gas produced by fruits and vegetables to promote ripening. The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene to delay the over-ripening of fresh produce. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh longer. EveryDrop™ Water Filter EveryDrop™ water filters are NSF®† Certified to reduce most contaminants, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, pesticides, and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. EveryDrop™ brand filters are the only filters tested and certified for your refrigerator system. Replace your EveryDrop™ filter every 6 months for maximum contaminant reduction. Water Dispenser with Measured Fill The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired amount of filtered water in handy increments 8, 16, or 24 oz. Water Dispenser with Favorite Fill The Favorite Fill feature allows you to save 2 custom presets that can be programmed for favorite items that are frequently filled like a coffee pot or a water bottle. Slide-Away Split Shelf This shelf features a versatile design that allows three-quarters of the shelf to retract to accommodate taller items, up to 16.75 inches. This flexibility helps maximize storage space and optimize organization. Removable Door Bins Door bins that can be easily removed from the metal finish base they sit on, making them ideal for carrying condiments or items from refrigerator to table. The bins are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. FreshSeal™ Dairy Bin A dedicated dairy bin with the FreshSeal™ gasket to help extend the freshness and preserve the flavor of butter and other dairy items. FreshSeal™ Crispers These upgraded crisper drawers use a gasket seal to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity levels to keep produce fresh longer. These drawers also feature premium soft-close glides that provide the best extension for easy access and maximum visibility to your produce items. Pull-Out Tray The tray fully extends for easy access and visibility. The tray also features soft self-close glides that provide effortless movement, even when fully loaded. The tray is removable, making cleaning easy. Herb Storage Bin This is a cylinder with FreshSeal™ to keep sensitive items like herbs fresh longer. The container allows water to be added to keep stems wet without covering leaves. It can be placed anywhere in the refrigerator and accommodates tall items like parsley, cilantro, and rosemary in addition to herbs like oregano, thyme, and mint. Under Shelf Storage (on some models) Utilizes typically empty space beneath the shelf to create a prep zone ideal for dough, desserts, casseroles, or marinating meats. The slide-out pan is oven and dishwasher safe and easily transitions from fridge to oven. Adjustable Shelves on Flipper System Shelves that can be adjusted up or down easily with the flip of a lever, allowing them to be adjusted without having to unload them. The shelves are easy to clean and let you use the whole shelf edge to edge for full visibility and accessibility. Temp Control Pantry Four temperature presets are available on the interior control to keep items at the optimal temperature. You can choose from meat/fish, cold drinks, deli/cheese, and wine. Pantry slides opens effortlessly, even when fully loaded, with soft, self-close glides and features the best extension in freestanding refrigeration. 3-Tier Freezer Drawer with Extend-Freeze™ Setting A drawer system that organizes items on 3 levels making them easier to store and find. The lower drawer includes a divider. There's also an in-door pizza pocket, a pull-out drawer for smaller items and third level glass shelf for small, flat items. The Extend-Freeze™ setting takes the entire freezer to its coldest setting to help reduce freezer burn and extend the life of frozen items. †®NSF is a registered trademark of NSF International. 5
