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.

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.
