Features that make a difference

KitchenAid has features that enable your creativity both in kitchen
design and culinary experiences.

All freestanding refrigerators need about ½” on both sides and at the top. A refrigerator takes in ambient air and exhales warm air. This warm air needs space to dissipate so that the refrigerator doesn’t “breath” in that hot air. If the hot air has nowhere to go and the fridge is inhaling this, it will make the fridge work harder and reduce the lifespan of the product.

Unlike ranges and dishwashers, refrigerators come in many sizes, shapes and configurations. Make sure that you measure the existing space that you currently have (or will have if you are renovating) so that your sales rep can best assist you with this.

Refrigerators come in 4 basic configurations. Top mount, where the freezer is on top. Bottom Mount, where the freezer is either a door or a drawer on the bottom. French Door meaning that there are 2 doors that open in the fresh food compartment with a freezer drawer or door on the bottom. And lastly there is a side by side where the unit is split into two compartments with a full height freezer on the left and a full height fridge on the right. All of these options have pros and cons and I recommend checking them out to see what might work best for your home.

Cabinet depth refrigerators are designed so that the main body (or cabinet) of the fridge extends the same as standard cabinets, which is about 24” in depth.

Yes, within small degrees. Most refrigerator are on casters so they can be wheeled into place but there are legs that can be adjusted to level the fridge and raise the unit up (about 1” on average).

This is a tricky one because sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it is no. Some refrigerators are able to move the hinge and change the door handle in which case Yes, you can alter the direction of the swing. If the fridge does not allow for this you will have to ensure that you order either a left or right swing model. A trick for remembering this is that the hinge will be on the swing side of what you order. Example rights swing doors have the hinge on the right (you would also tend to open it with your right hand).

Most refrigerators today have automatic defrost and do not require a manual defrost. If this is something that is important to you, I recommend double

All refrigerators will come with an energy guide that will tell you if it is estar rated or not, how many kilowatt hours it uses per year and an estimate of how much it will cost annually to operate the unit.
