STORAGE DRAWERS

Fruit & Vegetable Drawers

The top 2 storage drawers at the bottom

of the fresh food compartment are designed to provide high humidity levels required by most vegetables and lower humidity levels required for most fruits.

When replacing the drawers, always push them all the way in.

Storage time will depend upon the type of food and its condition when placed in the drawers.

Excess water that may accumulate in the

bottom of the drawers should be emptied and the drawers wiped dry.

Adjustable Humidity Drawers

These drawers have individual, adjustable humidity controls that let you regulate the amount of moisture retained in foods.

Slide the control all the way to the setting and the drawer provides high humidity recommended for most vegetables.

Slide the control all the way to the setting to provide lower humidity levels recommended for most fruits.
