Convertible Vegetable/Meat Drawer
Temperature Control
The convertible vegetable/meat drawer can be adjusted to
properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is
cooled to prevent “spot” freezing and can be set to keep meats
at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage
temperatures of 28°- 32°F (-2° - 0°C).
IMPORTANT: To extend freshness, wrap meats in airtight,
moisture-proof materials before storing. Always store meat as
recommended.
Adjusting the control
The convertible control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.
To change a control setting: Move the control to the right
(colder) or to the left (less cold) as desired.
To store vegetables: Set the control at the VEG setting, all the
way to the left, to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures (which need to be warmer than those for meat).
IMPORTANT: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left
(less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
Doing so gives the temperature of the food time to change.
Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and
HIGH.
■ LOW (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage
of fruits and vegetables with skins.
Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use.
Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store
in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
■ HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage
of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear
off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or
plastic container and store in crisper.
Humidity control location:
■ Humidity Control on crisper drawer (Style 1 - on left)
■ Humidity Control on crisper cover (Style 2 - on right)
Utility or Egg Bin
(on some models) Accessory
Depending on your model, you may have a one piece utility bin or
a three piece egg bin. To use the three piece egg bin, remove the
cover and place the eggs in the egg tray. Replace cover and store
on an interior refrigerator shelf. If you prefer, you can remove the
egg tray and place the entire carton of eggs in the bin. Replace
the cover.
NOTE: Eggs should be stored in a covered container. If your
model does not have an egg bin or covered utility bin, store
eggs in their original container on an interior shelf.
Wine or Can/Bottle Rack
(on some models) Accessory
To remove and replace the wine rack (left) or can/bottle rack
(right):
1. Remove the rack by pulling it straight out from the shelf.
2. Replace the rack by sliding it in between the shelf and the
wall of the refrigerator.
