Install Custom Overlay Panel IMPORTANT: Create a custom overlay panel according to the specifications in "Custom Overlay Drawer Panels." KitchenAid is not responsible for the removal or addition of molding or decorative panels that would not allow access to the refrigerator for service. Attach the overlay panel: NOTE: If the custom panel is incorrectly placed, the panel may interfere with optimal use of the drawers. 1. Attach the custom handle of your preference on the overlay before attaching the overlay to the drawer of the refrigerator. NOTE: Custom handles may vary in dimensions. Holes must be made on the panel according the specific dimensions of your handle. 2. Gently pull back the gasket from the corners of the door. It is not necessary to remove the gasket. 3. Use the brackets (four per drawer, one in each corner of the drawers). 4. Align the panel to the drawer and position the overlay panel 5/64" (2 mm) higher than the door. 5. Using the self-tap wood screws (four per drawer; one in each corner of the drawers), attach the panel to the drawer. 6. Once the overlay is securely attached to the drawer with the four screws, put the gasket back in its place by pressing it against the door until the gasket is even and firmly secured. A A- 4 wood screws Complete Installation 1. Remove all boxes, parts packages and packing materials from the interior of the refrigerator drawers. 2. Remove the film. 3. Clean the refrigerator drawers before use. 4. The controls are preset at the factory to the recommended settings. Be sure that the compressor is operating properly and that all the lights are working. 5. If construction will continue after the refrigerator drawers have been installed, turn OFF the power for both drawers. To get the most efficient use from your new refrigerator drawers, read the "Refrigerator Drawers Use" section. REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS USE Normal Sounds Your new refrigerator drawers may make sounds that your old refrigerator drawers didn't. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them. 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 Off cycle. Your refrigerator drawers are designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator drawers to run longer than your old ones. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance. You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator drawers. The fan speed may increase as you open the drawers or add warm food. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing through the sealed system tubing. Ensuring Proper Air Circulation In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow inside the drawers. Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may occur. IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. 05-May-2021 10:43:59 EDT | RELEASED In some European factories the letter "W" of the part code mentioned herein will be auto9matically replaced by the number "4000" (e.g. "W12345678" becomes "400012345678")
