REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Convertible Drawer Temperature
Control (on some models)
The control 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).
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three Meat settings to store meat at
its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to Veg to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less
cold), toward the Veg setting. Remember to wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
