Crisper Humidity Control 

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed 

crisper. Adjust the control to LOW or HIGH.
LOW (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of 

fruits and vegetables with skins. 

Fruit: Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or 

crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. 

Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper or store in 

a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic container 

and store in crisper. 

HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of 

fresh, leafy vegetables. 

Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear off 

bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic 

container and store in crisper.

FREEZER FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. 

Freezer Shelf

To remove and replace a shelf:
1.

Remove items from the shelf.

2.

Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.

3.

Depending on your model, lift back or front of the shelf past 

the stop. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.

4.

Replace the shelf by sliding the back of the shelf into the track 

in the wall of the cabinet.

5.

Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide 

the shelf in all the way.

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, 

the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and 

moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package 

or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout 

the product. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This 

simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package 

have condensed, creating ice crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 

24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907 to 

1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the 

freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door must 

close tightly. 

NOTE: 

For more information on preparing food for freezing, check 

a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

DOOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. 

Door Rails

The door rails may be removed for easier cleaning.

Snap-on Door Rails

To remove and replace the rails:
1.

Depending on your model, remove the rails by pushing in 

slightly on the front of the bracket while pulling out on the 

inside tab. Repeat these steps for the other end.

2.

Replace the rails by aligning the ends of the brackets with the 

buttons on the sides of the door liner. Firmly snap bracket and 

assembly onto the tabs above the shelf as shown. 

Utility Compartment

The utility compartment may be removed for easier cleaning.

To remove and replace the utility compartment:
1.

Remove the utility compartment by squeezing against one 

side while raising the utility compartment up and pulling it 

straight out. 

2.

Replace the utility compartment by positioning one side in the 

lock and sliding in the opposite side until it stops. 

Important information to know about glass shelves 
and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when 
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to 
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. 
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, 
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers 
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid 
dropping.
