Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual 

needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. 

Cantilever shelves are supported at the back of the 

refrigerator.

To adjust cantilever shelves:

 

1

    Lift front edge up.

 

2

    Pull shelf out.

Replace the shelf by inserting the hooks at rear of the 

shelf into the wall bracket. Lower the shelf into the

SpillSafe

TM

 glass shelves (some models) catch and hold 

accidental spills. In some models, the SpillSafe

TM

 shelves 

slide out for easy access to food and for fast cleaning. 

The shelves slide out independently of their mounting 

brackets. Just pull the front of the shelf forward. Shelves 

can be extended as far as the stopper will allow but are 

not removable from their mounting brackets.

Door storage

Door bins and shelves are provided for convenient 

storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Frequently used items 

can be quickly selected.
Some models have door bins that can accommodate 

gallon-sized plastic drink containers and economy-

sized jars and containers. Some bins are adjustable for 

maximum storage capacity.
The dairy compartment, which is warmer than the 

general food storage section, is intended for short term 

storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.

Fresh Drawers with Humidity Control 

(some models)

The fresh drawers, located under the bottom refrigerator 

shelf, are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other 

Crisper Drawer

Crisper Humidity Control

Cool Drawer 

(some models)

Some models are equipped with a Cool Drawer for 

storage of luncheon meats, spreads, cheeses, and 

other deli items.  This drawer does not have a separate 

temperature control

Chill Drawer 

(some models)

Some models are equipped with a Chill Drawer. Chill 

Drawer temperatures can be adjusted by sliding the Chill 

Drawer 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 Chill Drawer is fixed and cannot be moved 

up or down. If fruits or vegetables are to be stored in the 

Chill Drawer, set the Chill Drawer Temperature Control to 

a warmer setting to prevent freezing.

NOTE

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.

Crispers 

Crispers allow you the flexibility to 

store any manner of items including 

fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc.  

Crispers do not feature humidity 

controls.

Chill Drawer

with Temperature Control

fresh produce. The fresh drawers feature humidity control 

which  allows you to adjust the humidity within the 

drawer. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that 

keep best in high humidity. 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.
