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 in the diagram. The Tall
Bottle Retainer works best with a Bin Snugger.

Looking Inside - Special Storage Areas
CRISPERS
(SOME MODELS)
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
them in the crispers. Items
with strong odors or high
moisture content should be
wrapped before storing.
HUMIDITY CONTROL (SOME MODELS)
The Humidity Control, present on some models with crisper
drawers, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper.
This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best
in high humidity.

Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the
Humidity Control set on Higher Humidity, or in a drawer
without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to
a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.

SPECIAL ITEM RACK
(SOME MODELS)
The innovative design of the
Special Item Rack allows
you to store a six-pack of 12
ounce drink cans, a bottle of
wine, a two-liter soft drink
bottle, or a carton of eggs.
The Special Item Rack
mounts on the left side of
your refrigerator. To install,
just slide the Special Item
Rack onto any shelf as
shown in the drawing.
GOURMET PANTRY
Some models are equipped with a Gourmet Pantry. Gourmet
Pantry temperatures can be adjusted by sliding the Gourmet
Pantry Temperature Control in either direction. Use this pan
for short term storage of bulk meat items. If meats are to be
kept longer than one or two days, they should be frozen. The
Gourmet Pantry is fixed and cannot be moved up or down. If
fruits or vegetables are to be stored in the Gourmet Pantry,
set the Gourmet Pantry Temperature Control to a warmer
setting to prevent freezing.
Crisper Drawer
WOOD WINE RACK
The wine rack stores up to 4
bottles of wine. The Wine
Rack fits conveniently in the
Gourmet Pantry.
