Setting the Pantry Temperature - Refrigerator

Setting Pantry Temperature

IMPORTANT: This control sets the temperature for only this drawer. The pantry drawer is the drawer located below the crisper drawers. This control does not set the temperature for, or turn off cooling to, the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The full-width, temperature-controlled drawer can be used to store large deli trays, fresh meat, beverages or other items that you want to store at an optimum temperature. Depending on your model, you will have either an Electronic Control or a Manual Control.  Refer to your Owner's Manual for directions specific to your model. 

NOTE: Do not place leafy vegetables in the temperature-controlled drawer. The colder temperatures could damage leafy produce.

Press the desired temperature setting for the items to be stored in the drawer.  The controls for the pantry are either located on the pantry drawer or on the main temperature control interface.

  • Cold Drinks (default setting) 
  • Deli/Cheese 
  • Wine
