Adjustable Humidity Control
The Humidity Control (some models with Crisper drawers) 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 HIGH, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps
incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.
Deli Drawer
(some models)
Some models are equipped with a Deli Drawer for storage of luncheon meats,
spreads, cheeses, and other deli items.
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.
The Chilled Air Duct can also switch sides, should you wish to move the split
cantilever shelf. To change sides:
• Remove Meat Keeper drawer and shelf. Remove screw. Grasp air duct, push
and tip back to "unlock" it from the air outlet box.
• Move air duct to the other side, and push into place. Reinstall screw.
• Replace shelf and insert drawer.
Wine Rack
(some models)
The wine rack stores bottles of wine, or single 2-liter plastic bottles of juice or
soda pop. To install, slide wine rack onto the shelf with the curve facing in. To
remove, slide wine rack out. Install on either side of a Spillsafe™ shelf.
Meat Keeper
(some models)
The temperature in the Meat Keeper drawer can be made colder than the rest
of the refrigerator compartment by adjusting the Chilled Air Control. Meat will
be partially frozen, and may be kept fresh longer than if stored on a refrigerator
shelf.
Before placing items in Meat Keeper, follow these steps to keep meat fresh.
1. Carefully handle meat with clean hands, and always keep 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.
