You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed 
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and 
HIGH.

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 bags 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.

The full-width, temperature-controlled drawer can be used to 
store large party trays, deli items, or beverages. For storage 
flexibility the drawer features a divider and an adjustable 
temperature control.

NOTE: Do not place leafy vegetables in the temperature-
controlled drawer. Colder temperatures could damage leafy 
produce.

The temperature control, located under the lid on the right-hand 
side of the drawer, regulates the amount of cold air coming into 
the drawer. 

NOTE: Cold air directed into the drawer can decrease the 
refrigerator temperature. The refrigerator temperature may need 
to be adjusted. 

■

Slide the temperature control to the least cold setting if you 
want the drawer to be the same temperature as the 
refrigerator compartment.

■

Slide the temperature control to a colder setting when you 
want the drawer to be colder than the refrigerator 
compartment.

NOTE: Use the coldest setting when storing meats. 

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 meats (liver) ...............1-2 days

Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ...........................................3-5 days

Cured meats............................................................7-10 days

NOTE: Store eggs in a covered container for long-term storage. If 
your model does not have an egg storage bin, store eggs in their 
original carton on an interior shelf.
