Preserva® Food Care System
Two independent cooling systems provide a dedicated refrigeration unit to help keep food fresh longer, and a separate system for frozen food. The FreshFlow™ Air Filter helps minimize odors while the FreshFlow™ Produce Preserver helps delay over-ripening.
Platinum Colored Interior with Metallic Accents
Brings premium style inside the refrigerator to complement the quality ingredients you keep on hand. Sleek silver colored walls accented by metallic trim on shelves, drawers and door bins offer a step up from the standard white interior.
Automatic Ice Maker
Ensures that you have a constant supply of ice for entertaining.
SatinGlide® System with Soft-Close
Add a luxury experience to the crisper drawers. The ball bearing rollers and glides allow effortless in-and-out movement even when fully loaded.
LED Lighting
Uses less energy than incandescent bulbs. Multiple lights are purposefully placed throughout the refrigerator and freezer, making it easy to find items at a glance.
Intuitive Controls
Intuitive controls make it easy to precisely adjust the temperature of both the refrigerator and freezer.
Adjustable Spill-Resistant Glass Shelves
are easy to clean and help prevent messes from spilling over into other parts of the refrigerator. The shelf edges are nano-etched with a finely textured surface that helps contain spills, and lets you use the whole shelf from edge-to-edge.
Fit System Guarantee
Ensures KitchenAid Brand Built-in Refrigerators will replace your existing cabinet cut-out of a standard comparable built-in refrigerator model that is 36″, 42″ or 48″ inch wide or KitchenAid will provide up to $300 for a professional to adjust your cabinets.
Energy Star® Certified
refrigerators exceed government standards for energy efficiency to support sustainability and help save money on utility bills.
