Convertible Vegetable/Meat Drawer
Temperature Control
(on some models)
The convertible vegetable/meat drawer can be adjusted to
properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is
cooled to avoid "spot" freezing and can be set to keep meats at
the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage
temperatures of 28° to 32°F (­2° to 0°C).
IMPORTANT: To extend freshness, wrap meats in airtight,
moisture-proof materials before storing. Always store meat as
recommended.
Adjusting the Control:
Move the control to the right (colder) or to the left (less cold)
as desired.
To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG (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), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours
between adjustments. Doing so gives the temperature of the
food time to change.
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 meat (liver, etc.) .............. 1­2 days
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ..................................................... 3­5 days
Cured meats....................................................................... 7­10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture­sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between FRUIT [-] and
VEGETABLES [+].
FRUIT [-] (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 bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.
VEGETABLES [+] (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.

FREEZER FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features.
Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of
food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight
and moisture­proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals
inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that
moisture in the food and air inside the package have
condensed, creating ice crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze
within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot
[907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space
in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be certain to
leave enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

Freezer Shelf

(number of shelves varies by model)
To Remove and Replace the Shelf:
1. Slide the shelf to one side. Tilt the shelf upward to remove
the shelf from the support holes. To remove the other side
from the support holes, pull the shelf upward and in the
opposite direction.
2. Replace the shelf by inserting the left side of the shelf into
the support holes. Lower the right side of the shelf and insert
into support holes.
NOTE: Be sure that both sides of the shelf are positioned
evenly in the shelf support holes and the shelf is secure.
