KitchenAid KCBCR18600 [12/16] Activating and deactivating the box

“Zero degrees” box (depending on the model)

The "Zero Degrees" box is specifically designed to maintain a low

temperature and a suitable humidity level, in order to keep foods

fresher for longer (e.g. meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables).

Activating and deactivating the box

The temperature inside the box, when active, is approximately 0°.

To activate the compartment, press the button

shown in the figure for more than 1 second,

until the symbol lights up

The symbol lit indicates that the compartment is

functioning. Press the button again for more

than 1 second to deactivate the compartment

The following factors are vital for the "Zero Degrees" box to work properly:

- the refrigerator compartment must be switched on

- the temperature of the refrigerator compartment must be between +2°C and +6°C

- the box must be inserted to enable activation

- no special functions must have been selected (Standby, Cooling-Off, Vacation – where applicable).

If one of these special functions has been selected, the "Zero Degrees" box must be deactivated manually,

and any fresh food inside it removed. If manual deactivation does not take place, the box will be

deactivated automatically after 8 hours.

Note:

- if the symbol does not light up when the box is activated, check that the box is properly inserted; if the

problem persists, contact your nearest authorized After-sales Service

- if the box is active and the drawer open, the symbol on the control panel may be deactivated

automatically. If the drawer is inserted, the symbol will become active again

- irrespective of the state of the box, a slight noise may be heard: this is normal and is not a cause for

concern.

- when the box is not active, the temperature inside it depends on the general temperature inside the

refrigerator compartment. In this case, we recommend it is used to store fruit and vegetables which are

not sensitive to cold temperatures (fruits of the forest, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).

Important: If the function is activated and food with high water content is present, condensate may form

on the shelves. In this case, temporarily deactivate the function.

When placing small containers and food products on the top shelf of the "zero degrees" compartment,

make sure they do not accidentally fall between the drawer and the back of the refrigerator compartment
