Fruit & Vegetable Drawers
Adjustable Humidity 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.
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.

of cold air from the freezer compartment to flow around the drawer.
The variable temperature control regulates the air flow from the
freezer compartment.

coldest setting to store fresh
meats. If lever is left in meat
position for a long period of
time, some frost may form
on the inside of the drawer.

the drawer to normal refrigerator
temperature and provide extra
vegetable storage space. Cold air duct is turned off.
Variable settings between these extremes can be selected.
