Fresh Food Storage

Door Storage

Bins and Shelves:
Door 

bins 

and 

shelves 

are 

provided 

for 

convenient 

storage 

of 

jars, 

bottles 

and

cans. 

Items 

used 

often 

are 

available 

for 

quick 

selection.

Door 

bins 

can 

be 

moved 

to 

suit 

individual 

needs. 

Remove 

bins 

by 

lifting 

straight

up. 

Place 

bins 

in 

the 

desired 

position, 

and 

lower 

over 

the 

supports.

Dairy Compartment:
The Dairy Compartment is warmer than the general food storage section, and
is 

intended 

for 

short 

term 

storage 

of 

cheese, 

spreads, 

or 

butter. 

In 

some 

models,

the 

dairy 

compartment 

module 

is 

removable 

and 

interchangeable 

with 

any 

other

bin 

on 

the 

refrigerator 

door. 

To 

use 

the 

additional 

storage 

shelf 

molded 

into 

the

top 

of 

the 

dairy 

compartment 

module, 

place 

module 

down 

on 

the 

next 

set 

of 

shelf

supports, 

or 

lower.

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. 

Note 

that 

the 

retainer 

works

best 

with 

the 

use 

of 

bin 

snugger.

Micro-Serve Dishes 

(some models)

Food 

can 

be 

stored, 

cooked*, 

and 

served 

in 

Micro-Serve 

Dishes 

provided 

in 

some

models. 

These 

dishes 

slide 

easily 

into 

their 

own 

tray, 

which 

hangs 

below 

door

bin, 

conveniently 

freeing 

shelf 

space 

for 

other 

items.

Remove 

plastic 

lid 

before 

cooking. 

Lid 

is 

intended 

for 

storage 

only.

Crisper

The 

Crisper 

Drawer, 

located 

under 

the 

bottom 

refrigerator 

shelf, 

is 

for 

storing

fruits and vegetables.  Most produce should be washed in clear water, and
drained 

before 

placing 

in 

this 

drawer. 

 

Items 

with 

strong 

odors 

or 

high 

moisture

should 

be 

wrapped 

before 

storing.

The 

humidity 

control 

allows 

you 

to 

adjust 

the 

humidity 

within 

the 

crisper 

drawer.

This 

can 

extend 

the 

life 

of 

fresh 

vegetables, 

which 

keep 

best 

in 

high 

humidity.

Leafy 

vegetables 

keep 

best 

when 

stored 

with 

the 

humidity 

control 

set 

on 

HIGH,

or 

in 

drawer 

without 

humidity 

control. 

This 

keeps 

incoming 

air 

to 

minimum,

and maintains maximum moisture content.

Meat Keeper

The 

Meat 

Keeper 

is 

located 

at 

the 

bottom 

of 

the 

refrigerator. 

The 

temperature

in 

this compartment can be made colder than the rest of the refrigerator

compartment 

by 

sliding 

the 

chilled 

air 

control 

knob 

within 

the 

COLDEST 

or 

COLD

range. 

 

Meat 

will 

be 

partially 

frozen, 

and 

may 

be 

kept 

fresh 

longer 

than 

if 

stored

on 

refrigerator 

shelf.

Before 

placing 

items 

in 

the 

meat 

keeper, 

follow 

these 

steps 

to 

keep 

meat 

fresh:

1. Always handle meat with clean hands, and keep compartment clean.
2. Store 

meat 

in 

its 

original 

wrapper. 

If 

necessary, 

overwrap 

in 

plastic 

wrap 

or

foil 

to 

prevent 

drying. 

Wrap 

fish 

tightly 

to 

prevent 

odor 

transfer 

to 

other 

foods.

3. If 

spoilage 

ever 

occurs, 

disinfect 

the 

compartment 

with 

liquid 

chlorine 

bleach,

following 

label 

directions. 

Then 

rinse 

with 

solution 

baking 

soda 

and 

water

solution. 

Rinse 

with 

clear 

water 

and 

dry.

Tall Storage Compartment

 (some models)

shelf 

is 

attached 

to 

the 

freezer 

wall 

just 

below 

the 

ice 

server. 

This 

allows 

for

convenient 

storage 

of 

tall 

items 

placed 

vertically 

between 

the 

ice 

server 

and 

the

freezer 

wall.
