SHELF ADJUSTMENT
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the
shelves, remove all food.
Crispers
The crisper is located under the bottom refrigerator shelf and for storing fruits,
vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clean water and remove excess water
before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odours or high moisture content
should be wrapped before storing.

around the food and results in uneven cooling.
