Customising the Storage Environment

To select any of the storage modes:

The icon selected will flash until the CoolDrawer™ is at a suitable temperature for food to be added. This will take between 1 – 6 hours.

Freezer mode is for general frozen food storage.
When using the 'freezer' mode, additional freezer functions can be used. These are 'bottle chill', 'fast freeze' and 'deep freeze'.
Only one freezer function may be operated at any one time.

All these functions can only be activated when the CoolDrawer™ is set to ‘freezer’ setting.

Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.
Select ‘freezer’ mode, if not already selected.
Press the button until the desired function is selected.
To turn a function off at any time, press the button until no freezer function lights are displayed.

To rapidly chill your beverages, activate ‘bottle chill’. This drops the freezer down to its coldest setting for a 15-minute time period. After 15 minutes, an alarm will sound to remind you to remove your beverage.

The ‘deep freeze’ function sets the CoolDrawer™ at -25°C.
The reduced temperature will keep frozen food at its best for longer periods.
Ensure food is placed in thick freezer-proof packaging.
‘Deep freeze’ has no additional temperature adjustment and no lights will be displayed on the temperature adjustment area.

This setting sets the CoolDrawer™ at -0.5°C, just above the freezing temperature of meat. This temperature is ideal for the storage of highly perishable fresh meats, poultry and fish products.
The ‘chill’ mode can also be used for chilling alcoholic beverages.

The ‘chill’ mode is not recommended for any other food or non-alcoholic drink items.

When storing fresh fruits and vegetables, we recommend that they are stored in either the bin on the top tray or the bin on the left-hand side of the main tray. Both of these bins are humidity controlled.
Each bin has a humidity control button that can be adjusted to care for fruit () and vegetables () depending on what is stored in the bins
To change between settings push the adjustment button located on the left-hand side of the CoolDrawer™.
If possible try to store fruit and vegetables separately. If there is too much water in the bins, the control can be adjusted to the setting.

This is the ideal setting for a wide variety of foods that often perish quickly at room temperature but can be damaged by normal refrigerator temperatures.
The ‘pantry’ mode is designed specifically for foods that require a ‘cool, dark place’ for storage.

The ‘pantry’ mode is not suitable for highly perishable fresh dairy and meat items.

The ‘pantry’ mode can be used to ripen foods, eg avocado, tropical fruits and moulded cheeses.
Once ripened, foods need to be placed back into ‘fridge’ mode.
Refer to your user guide for food items that are suitable for the ‘pantry’ mode.

This setting provides ideal long-term cellaring for wine as well as two additional customised short-term environments.
When ‘wine’ mode is selected, the CoolDrawer™ is automatically set to 12°C. This is ideal for long-term storage (longer than one week) of both red and white wines.
Refer to your user guide for further information regarding short-term storage/serving temperatures.
