Shelf Adjustment
Shipping Clips
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjustable to suit
individual needs. Some models have sliding shelves,
others have cantilever shelves. Before adjusting shelves,
remove all food. Remove and discard shipping clips
wedged into the cantilever rail above the shelf hook (see
below). These clips stabilize the shelves during shipping.
To adjust sliding shelves, remove by pulling forward to the
stop position, then lift front edge up and pull out. Replace
on any pair of rails by reversing this procedure.
To adjust cantilever shelves (shelves supported at the rear
of the refrigerator), lift the back of the shelf up and out.
Replace shelf by inserting hooks at rear into wall bracket.
Lower and lock into position.
To adjust combination cantilever/sliding shelves, remove
shelf by lifting hooks up and out of rear wall bracket. Next
flex plastic clip towards center of refrigerator, and pull shelf straight out. Replace shelf
by sliding plastic clip past side wall support. Then lock hooks at rear into wall bracket.
Note: Plastic clip will automatically fit securely against side wall.
Door Storage
Door racks allow convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Items used often are
available for quick selection. Some models have door racks which can accommodate
gallon-size plastic drink containers and economy size jars and containers which are
available today. Some racks are removable and adjustable for maximum efficiency.
Note: When storing gallon-sized items on lower door racks, do not position meat
pan in its lowest possible position. The meat pan handle or shelving may interfere
with the door closing.
The dairy compartment is warmer than the general food storage section, and is
intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Crispers
The 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 in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture
should be wrapped before storing.
The Humidity Control (some models) allows you to adjust the humidity within the
crisper drawer. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables, which keep best in high
humidity. Leafy vegetables, however, keep best when stored with 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.
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.
