Fresh Food Storage

Shelf Adjustment

Refrigerator

shelves

are

easily

adjusted

to

suit

individual

needs.

Before

adjusting

shelves,

remove

all

food.

The

shipping

clips

which

stabilize

the

shelves

for

shipping

may be removed and discarded.

To

adjust

the

cantilever

shelves

(shelves

supported

at

the

rear

of

the

refrigerator),

lift

the

back

of

the

shelf

up

and

out.

Replace

shelf

by

inserting

hooks

at

rear

into

slots.

Lower

and

lock

into

position.

Some

models

have

Spillfree

glass

shelves,

which

catch

and

hold

accidental

spills.

Door Storage

Door

bins

and

shelves

are

provided

for

convenient

storage

of

jars,

bottles

and

cans.

Items

used

often

are

available

for

quick

selection.

The

door

bins

can

be

moved

to

suit

individual

needs.

Remove

bins

by

lifting

straight

up.

Place

bins

in

the

desired

position

and

lower

over

the

supports.

The

Dairy

compartment

is

warmer

than

the

general

food

storage

section

and

is

intended

for

short

term

storage

of

cheese,

spreads,

or

butter.

Crisper

The

Crisper

drawer,

located

under

the

bottom

refrigerator

shelf,

is

for

storing

fruits

and

vegetables.

Most

produce

should

be

washed

in

clear

water

and

drained

before

placing

in

this

drawer.

Items

with

strong

odors

or

high

moisture

should

be

wrapped

before

storing.

The

Humidity

Control

(some

models)

allows

you

to

adjust

the

humidity

within

the

Crisper

drawer.

This

can

extend

the

life

of

fresh

vegetables

which

keep

best

in

high

humidity.

Leafy

vegetables,

however,

keep

best

when

stored

with

the

Humidity

Control

set

on

HIGHER,

or

in

a

drawer

without

a

Humidity

Control.

This

keeps

incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.

The

Meat

Keeper

is

located

at

the

bottom

of

The

the

rest

of

the

refrigerator

compart-

ment

by

sliding

the

Chilled

Air

Control

within

the

COLDEST

or

COLD

range.

Meat

will

be

partially

frozen

and

may

be

kept

fresh

longer

than

if

stored

on

a

refrigerator

shelf.

Before

placing

items

in

the

Meat

Keeper,

follow

these

steps

to

keep

the

meat

fresh:

1. Carefully handle meat with clean hands and always keep the compartment

clean.

wrap

or

foil

bleach

following
