Do you have a question about the KitchenAid KRFC300EBS and is the answer not in the manual?

This document is a user manual for a KitchenAid refrigerator, providing comprehensive information on its installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description:

The KitchenAid refrigerator is a household appliance designed for food preservation through refrigeration and freezing. It features multiple compartments for different temperature zones, including a fresh food compartment and a freezer compartment, to store various types of food optimally. Some models may include an ice maker and a water dispenser for added convenience. The refrigerator is designed to be energy-efficient and incorporates features to maintain optimal food freshness.

Important Technical Specifications:

Electrical Requirements: The refrigerator operates on a 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply. It requires a dedicated circuit and a 3-prong grounded outlet. Extension cords or adapters are not recommended.
Water Supply Requirements: For models with an ice maker and/or water dispenser, a cold water supply with a pressure between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required. A reverse osmosis water filtration system can be used, provided the water pressure to the refrigerator is between 40 and 120 psi (276 and 827 kPa). Copper or PEX tubing is recommended for the water line connection.
Location Requirements: Specific clearances are required around the refrigerator for proper air circulation and door opening. A minimum of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top, and 1 inch (2.54 cm) at the back, is recommended. For models with an ice maker, 2 1/2 inches (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side is needed for door swing.
Temperature Range: The fresh food compartment is designed for temperatures between 34°F (1°C) and 43°F (6°C), with an optimum range of 37°F (3°C) to 40°F (4°C). The freezer compartment operates between -5°F (-21°C) and 5°F (-15°C), with an optimum range of 0°F (-18°C) to 2°F (-17°C).
Water Filtration System: The refrigerator may include a water filtration system certified to reduce various contaminants, including lead, cysts, chlorine, and particulates. Filter replacement is recommended every 6 months or when the filter status indicator suggests.
Capacity: Specific models, such as UKF8001AXX-200/EKF8001, have a certified capacity of 200 gallons (757 liters) for water filtration.

Usage Features:

Temperature Control: The refrigerator features electronic controls for setting and adjusting temperatures in both the fresh food and freezer compartments. Recommended settings are 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
Max Ice/Max Cool: These features temporarily boost ice production or cooling performance, useful during periods of high usage or when adding large amounts of food.
Door Alarm: An audible alarm sounds if the refrigerator door is left open for an extended period, helping to prevent food spoilage and energy waste.
Humidity Control (Crisper): Adjustable humidity controls in the crisper drawers allow users to optimize storage conditions for fruits and vegetables, extending their freshness.
Water Dispenser: Provides filtered water on demand. Some models include a measured fill feature.
Ice Maker: Automatically produces and stores ice.
Vacation Mode: A setting designed to conserve energy when the refrigerator will not be used for an extended period, such as during vacations.
Door Removal and Replacement: Instructions are provided for removing and replacing refrigerator and freezer doors, as well as door handles and medallions, which may be necessary for installation or servicing.
Drawer Removal and Replacement: Guidance for removing and replacing freezer drawers.
Leveling: Instructions for leveling the refrigerator to ensure proper door alignment and operation.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:
- Interior: Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and warm water is recommended. Glass shelves and covers should be handled carefully.
- Exterior: Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with a clean, soft cloth and mild detergent or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Condenser Coils: Regular cleaning of the condenser coils (every 3-6 months) is recommended to maintain efficiency.
- Gaskets: Door gaskets should be cleaned regularly to ensure a tight seal.
Water Filter Replacement: The water filter should be replaced every 6 months or when the filter status light indicates. Instructions for flushing the new filter are provided.
Light Bulb Replacement: Instructions for replacing LED light bulbs in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Odor Control: Recommendations for using baking soda or activated charcoal to absorb odors.
Troubleshooting: A comprehensive troubleshooting guide helps users diagnose and resolve common issues related to the refrigerator's operation, temperature, ice and water systems, and noise.
Warranty Information: Details on the limited warranty, including coverage for parts and labor, and contact information for customer service.
