Dairy Bin

Gallon Storage Bins

To remove the dairy bin, simply lift it and pull
straight out. To replace the dairy bin, slide it into
place and push down until it stops.

NOTE:

The dairy bin will only fit in the top space

on the right-hand door.

The door bins are removable for easy cleaning
and adjusting. Simply lift the bin and pull it straight
out to remove it. To replace the bin, slide it in
above the desired support button and push down
until it stops.

Dispenser Drip Tray

The dispenser drip tray has no self-draining function. It should be cleaned regularly. Remove the cover by
pressing and pulling the tray. Dry it with a cloth. To reinstall the tray, slightly tilt the front of the tray and
snap the ribs into the holes.
