within these drawers provides preset
temperatures, based on the food group
that is selected.The actual temperature
within each OptiFresh TM drawer is dis-
playedelectronically. Eachsetting provides
temperatures in the range outlined in the
chart below.

condensation will clear once the

mometers may vary slightly from the
