To Remove Ice Storage Bin
Lift the left corner to free the bin
from the shelf. Pull the bin straight out
while supporting it at front and back.
If Ice is Not Used Often...
''Old'' ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty ice
storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to
allow storage bin to cool before replacing it—otherwise ice cubes will
stick to the metal auger.

Storage time will depend upon the type of food and its condition when placed in the drawer. Excess water which may accumulate in the bottom of
the drawer should be poured out and the drawer wiped dry. The drawer is partially sealed by gaskets. Always push the drawer all the way in.
As in any refrigerated storage area, it is recommended that odorous foods be stored wrapped.
Convertible Drawer
(on some models)
The Convertible drawer has its own cold air duct to allow a stream
of cold air from the freezer compartment to flow around the drawer.
The variable temperature control regulates the air flow from the
freezer compartment.
Set control lever down to the
coldest setting to store fresh meats.
If lever is left in meat position for
a long period of time, some
frost may form on the inside
of the drawer.
Set control lever up to convert
the drawer to normal refrigerator
temperature and provide extra
vegetable storage space. Cold air
duct is turned off. Variable settings
between these extremes can be selected.
Sealed Snack Pack
(on some models)
The Sealed Snack Pack—and shelf to which it is attached—can be relocated within the Fresh
Food compartment. The sealed drawer retains sufficient humidity for convenient storage of
lunch meats, cheese, hors d'oeuvres, spreads and snacks.
To Replace Ice Storage Bin

bin locks into the slot in the shelf.
If the bin does not go all the way back, remove
it and turn the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then
push the bin back again until the tab on the bin
locks into the slot in the shelf. The gasket
along the top of the bin should contact the top
of the freezer and bend back toward you. If it
does not, remove the ice storage bin and
replace again while holding the front of the bin higher.
