OPTIONAL FEATURES
CAUTION: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.
Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food.
To adjust shelves:
- Remove shelf by raising the back of the shelf out of side rail, then continue to remove shelf by pulling forward.
- To replace shelf, rest side edges on any pair of shelf rails and carefully push shelf back into position and engage in the side rail stop.
Glass Shelf
Door storage
Door bins, shelves, and racks are provided for convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Frequently used items can be quickly selected.
The dairy compartment, which is warmer than the general food storage section, is intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Crisper Humidity Controls
The crisper humidity controls, present on the crisper drawers of some models, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best in high humidity.
Crisper Humidity Controls
NOTE: Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on High Humidity, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content. Store non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skins at the low humidity setting.
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 them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing.
