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 (less cold) or to the left (colder)

as desired.

To store vegetables: Set the control to VEGETABLES (all the

way to the right) 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

right (less cold), toward the VEGETABLES 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.) .............. 12days

Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ..................................................... 35days

Cured meats....................................................................... 710 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 moisturesealed

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.

Utility Bin

(on some models - Accessory)

The utility bin can be placed anywhere inside the refrigerator or

freezer. It can be used to hold various small items such as kids’

snacks, or for extra ice storage.

NOTE: For long-term storage, place eggs in a covered container

or in their original carton on an interior shelf.

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 moistureproof), 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.
