Cycle Defrost; Reversible Door; Door Adjustment - KitchenAid KUWS246 Technical Education

Under normal operation the evaporator will defrost following every cooling cycle. Once the refrigerant
stops circulating, cooling also stops. The nominal temperature inside the unit ranges from 45°F at the
bottom to 60°F at the top, which is sufficiently high enough for any frost that has accumulated on the
evaporator to melt and run off.
If the thermostat is set low enough to allow temperatures inside the unit to range below 32°F (particu-
larly at the top) frost may not completely melt and run off between run cycles and periodic manual
defrosting may be necessary.
The ClearVue™ thermal-glass door of the KitchenAid wine cellar is reversible.
