Setting the Pantry Temperature - Built-In 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. You will have either an Electronic Control or Manual Control depending on your model.  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.

Electronic Control

For your convenience, temperatures have been preset for the optimum storage of fresh meat and poultry, cold drinks, and deli/cheese. These preset temperatures cannot be adjusted. 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 the main temperature control interface. 

Below is an example of the options available on the control, listed Cold to Coldest: 

  • Beverage
  • Deli
  • Assorted
  • Meat

Crisper drawers should be adjusted to reflect the contents of the drawer.  Adjust the temperature to a warmer setting if items are freezing or getting too cold.  Depending on the model, you will either adjust the drawer or the main control panel.
