Storage Features 21 Drawers Your refrigerator includes a variety of storage drawers. These drawers usually are located in fixed positions at the bottom of the fresh food compartment. Some models are supplied with soft close slides which close by themselves the last 11/2 inches of travel. Crisper humidity control Crisper drawers include a sliding control for adjusting the humidity inside the crisper. This feature can extend the life of certain fresh vegetables that keep longer in high humidity. Crispers Crisper drawers are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Before storing items in a crisper: • Wash items in clear water and remove excess water. • Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content. 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. To remove the Crisper Drawer: 1 Using your thumb, press down on the plastic tab (some models). 2 While holding down the plastic tab, lift front slightly and pull drawer up and out. NOTE If there are no plastic tabs on your model, just lift front of drawer and pull up and out. Meat keeper (some models) Some models are equipped with a meat keeper drawer for short-term storage of bulk meat items. This drawer includes a sliding control for adjusting the temperature inside. Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be frozen. If you store fruits or vegetables in this drawer, set it to a warmer temperature to prevent freezing. Special items rack (some models) The innovative design of the special items rack allows you to store four bottles of wine or soft drink bottles.
