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 0°C).
IMPORTANT: To extend freshness, wrap meats in airtight, moisture-
proof materials before storing. Always store meat as
recommended.
Adjusting the Control:
The convertible control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.
To change a control setting: Move the control to the right (colder)
or to the left (less cold) as desired.
To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG (all the way to the left)
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 left
(less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments. 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.
Fresh fish or shellfish ............................... use same day as purchased
Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) .................... 1-2 days
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ............................................................ 3-5 days
Cured meats ............................................................................ 7-10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Humidity Control is located on the crisper drawer. Adjust
the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
E/E
LOW (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of
fruits and vegetables with skins.
• Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag
or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready
to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper,
or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator
shelf.
• Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.
HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of
fresh, leafy vegetables.
• Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or
tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag
or plastic container and store in crisper.
