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.
Meat Keeper
The Meat Keeper is located at the bottom of the refrigerator. The temperature in this compartment can be made colder than the rest of the refrigerator compartment by sliding the Chilled Air Control knob 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.
2.Store meat in its original wrapper. If necessary, overwrap in plastic wrap or foil to prevent drying. Wrap fish tightly to prevent odor transfer to other foods.
3.If spoilage ever occurs, disinfect the compartment with liquid chlorine bleach following label directions. Then rinse with a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water and dry.
