Adjusting the Control
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before putting food into the
refrigerator. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like. Move the dial one setting at a time and wait
24 hours between adjustments.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Temperature Control
to a colder (higher) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartment any faster.
NOTE: During high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of
the refrigerator. To prevent rust, dry the refrigerator’s exterior and
reset the Temperature Control to a colder (higher) setting.
Power Interruptions
If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company
and ask how long it will be off.
If the power will be off less than 4 hours, keep the refrigerator
door closed to help foods stay cold.
If the power will be off more than 4 hours, use up any perishables
and find alternative cold storage.
REFRIGERATOR
FEATURES
Refrigerator Shelves
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different
heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and
saves energy.
To remove and replace a shelf:
1. Remove the shelf by pulling it forward slightly to align the
shelf stops with the openings in the refrigerator compartment
liner. Lift straight up, and pull the shelf out the rest of the way.
2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf stops through the
openings in the refrigerator compartment liner. Slide the shelf
in the rest of the way.
Crispers and Meat Drawer
Drawers
To remove and replace a drawer:
1. Slide drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front of the
drawer and slide it out the rest of the way.
2. Replace a drawer by sliding it back in fully past the stop.
Crisper Cover
To remove the crisper(s) cover:
1. Remove crisper(s). Hold the glass insert firmly with one hand
and press up in the center of the glass insert until it rises
above the plastic frame. Carefully slide the glass insert
forward to remove.
2. Lift the cover frame and remove it.
To replace crisper cover:
1. Fit the back of the cover frame into the supports on the side
walls of the refrigerator. Lower the front of the cover frame
into place.
2. Slide the rear of the glass insert into the cover frame and
lower the front into place.
Adjustable Meat Drawer (on some models)
The meat drawer can be placed on either the right or left side of
the refrigerator.
To move the meat drawer:
1. Remove the meat drawer and cover. See “Refrigerator
Shelves” section.
NOTE: The meat drawer cover has one fixed support that runs
down the center of the shelf. The outside support is the
adjustable one.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the adjustable support
and move it to the other side of the meat drawer cover.
3. Place the meat drawer cover in the desired location and slide
the meat drawer back into position.
Meat Storage Guide
Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and
moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for
storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given,
freeze the meat.
Fresh fish or shellfish......................... use same day as purchased
Chicken, ground beef, variety meats (liver) ...................... 1-2 days
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts .................................................. 3-5 days
Cured meats................................................................... 7-10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
place in containers with tight fitting lids.
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.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.
