How to Turn the Light On or Off

How to Turn the Lights On or Off on KitchenAid Undercounter Refrigerator or Wine Cooler

There are a couple of different lighting methods, depending on the model you have. Please see the different lighting styles below for instructions.

Lighting Style 1

The refrigerator and wine cellar have an interior light that comes on whenever the door is opened.

  • Press the "Light" button on the control panel to turn the light on and off.

When the light is turned on, the wine cellar will remain illuminated for 10 minutes (even when the door is closed). When the Light is turned off, the wine cellar compartment will be illuminated when the door is open. The light will turn off when the door is closed.

You will see this symbol on your control panel.

You may also turn the light on at any time by opening the door and pressing the exterior switch located beside the temperature control knob on the base grille. When this switch is turned on, the light will remain on till the switch is turned off.
