Crispers
(some models)
T
he 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 them
in the crispers. Items with strong odors or
high moisture content should be wrapped
before storing.
Optional Features
•
The appliance should
be located in the
coolest area of the
room, away from
heat producing ap-
pliances or heating
ducts, and out of
direct sunlight.
Energy-Saving Tips
•
Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing in the unit. Overload-
ing the unit forces the compressor to
run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly
may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and
wipe containers dry before placing
them in the appliance. This cuts down
on frost build-up inside the unit.
•
Appliance shelves and baskets should
not be lined with aluminum foil, wax
paper, or paper toweling. Liners inter-
fere with cold air circulation, making
the unit less efficient.
•
Organize and label food to reduce door
openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time,
and close the door as soon as possible.
Cleaning the Inside
Wash inside surfaces of the appliance
with a solution of 2 tbsp. (25 g) of baking
soda in 1 qt. (1 l) warm water. Rinse and
dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge
or cloth.
Wash the removable parts with the baking
soda solution mentioned above, or mild
detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.
