Fresh Food Storage
Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting
shelves, remove all food. Remove and discard the shipping clips, wedged into the
cantilever rail above the shelf hook. These clips stabilize the shelves during shipping.
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
Spillsafe TM 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.
Crispers
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 the
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.
Freezer Basket
A slide-out wire basket (some models have two) hangs below the bottom freezer shelf.
This basket provides easy access to frozen food packages.
