Shelf Adjustment

Refrigerator shelves are easily adjustable to suit individual needs. Some models have
sliding shelves, others have cantilever shelves. Before adjusting shelves, remove all
food. The shipping clips that stabilize the shelves for shipping may be removed and
discarded.

To adjust sliding shelves, remove by pulling forward to the stop
position, then lift the front edge up and pull out. Replace on any pair
of rails by reversing this procedure.

To adjust 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.

To adjust combination cantilever/sliding shelves, remove shelf by
lifting hook out of rear slot, and sliding shelf forward to the stop
position. Lift up front edge and pull out. Replace shelf by sliding shelf
back on supports, and inserting the hook into the respective middle
slot.

Door Storage

Door racks allow convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Items used often are
available for quick selection. Some models have door racks which can accommodate
gallon-size plastic drink containers and economy size jars and containers which are
available today. Some racks are removable and adjustable for maximum efficiency.

NOTE: When storing gallon-sized items on the lower door racks, do not position the
meat pan in its lowest possible position. The meat pan handle or shelving may
interfere with door closing.

The Dairy compartment is warmer than the general food storage section and is
intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.

Crispers

The Crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing
fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove
excess water before placing in the Crispers. 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. 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.

Crisper Cover Support (some models)
The Crisper Cover Support, located between the two Crisper drawers, is shipped
raised from the liner floor. This prevents damage to the liner floor during shipping.
Once your refrigerator has been installed in it’s final location, the Foot of the Crisper
Cover Support
must be lowered to prevent bowing in the middle of the Crisper
Cover, when food is placed on it.

Adjusting the Foot of the Crisper Cover Support:
1. To lower the Foot, rotate it the clockwise direction until it rests on the liner

floor.

2. To raise the Foot, rotate it in the counterclockwise direction.

Meat Pan

(some models)

Some models are equipped with a Meat Pan that can be positioned below any
refrigerator shelf. Use this pan for short term storage of bulk meat items. If meats
are to be kept longer than 1 or 2 days, they should be frozen.
