Crispers
The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing
fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove
excesswater before placing in the crispers, Items with strong odors or high moisture
should bewrapped before storing, Insome models, the crispers are drawers, in others,
they are tilt-out bins,
The Humidity Control (some models with Crisper drawers) allows you to adjust the
humidity within the Crisper, This can extend the life of fresh vegetables which keep
best in high humidity. Leafy vegetables, however, keep best when stored with the
Humidity Control set on HIGH, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps
incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.
Crisper Cover Support (some models)
The Crisper Cover Support, located between the two
Crisper drawers, is shipped raised from the liner floor.
This prevents damage to the liner floor during shipping,
Once your refrigerator has been installed in it's final
location, the Foot of the Crisper Cover Support must
be lowered to prevent bowing in the middle of the
Crisper Cover, when food is placed on it.
Adjusting the Foot of the Crisper Cover Support:
1, To lower the Foot, rotate in a clockwise direction
until it rests on the liner floor.
2, To raise the Foot, rotate in a counterclockwise
direction,

foil to prevent drying. Wrap fish tightly to prevent odor trander to other foods.
