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 O°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.

Temperature Control
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 adiustments. 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.
