Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Some models have
sliding shelves , others have cantilever shelves . Before adjusting
shelves, remove all food. The shipping clips that stabilize the
shelves for shipping may be removed and discarded.
To adjust cantilever shelves (shelves supported at the rear of the
refrigerator), lift the back of the shelf up and out. Replace shelf
by inserting hooks at rear into slots. Lower and lock into position.

Spill Safe glass shelves (some models) catch and hold accidental
spills. In some models, the Spill Safe
access to food and fast cleaning. The shelves slide out
independently of the cantilever brackets. Just pull front of shelf
forward. Shelf can be extended as far as stopper will allow.
Door Storage
Door bins and shelves provide convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Items used
often are available for quick selection.
The door bins can be moved to suit individual needs. Remove bins by lifting straight up.
Place bins in the desired position and lower over the supports.
The Dairy Compartment(s) is warmer than the general food storage section and is
intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Tall Bottle Retainer (some models)
The Tall Bottle Retainer keeps tall containers in the bin from falling forward when
opening or closing the refrigerator door. To install, hold the retainer at the top, and
slide it over the outside wall of the bin, as shown. Note that the retainer works best
with the use of a bin snugger.
Micro-Serve Dishes
Food can be stored, cooked*, and served in Micro-Serve Dishes provided in some
models. These dishes slide easily into their own tray, which hangs below a door bin,
conveniently freeing shelf space for other items. NOTE: Do not hang tray below the bin
in front of the ice maker.
* Remove plastic lid before cooking. Lid is intended for storage only.
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 excess water
before placing in the Crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture should be
wrapped before storing.
The Humidity Controls allow 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 moisture, or in
a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and
maintains maximum moisture content.
Meat Keeper
(some models)
The temperature in the Meat Keeper drawer can be made colder than the rest of
the refrigerator compartment by adjusting the Chilled Air Control. Meat will be
partially frozen and may be kept fresh longer than if stored on a refrigerator shelf.
Before placing items in the Meat Keeper, follow these steps to keep the meat fresh:
• Carefully handle meat with clean hands and always keep the compartment clean.
• Store meat in its original wrapper. If necessary, overwrap in plastic wrap or foil
to prevent drying. Wrap fish tightly to prevent odor transfer to other foods.
• If spoilage ever occurs, disinfect the compartment with liquid chlorine bleach
following label directions. Then, rinse with a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse
with clear water and dry.
