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.

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.

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 compart- ment 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.

Freezer Basket (some models)

Some models are equipped with a slide-out wire basket below the bottom freezer shelf. This basket provides easy access to frozen food packages.
