To Remove Ice Storage Bin
Lift the left corner to free the bin
from the shelf. Pull the bin straight out
while supporting it at front and back.
If Ice is Not Used Often...
''Old'' ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty ice
storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to
allow storage bin to cool before replacing it—otherwise ice cubes will
stick to the metal auger.
Fruit & Vegetable Drawers
The top 2 storage drawers at the bottom
of the fresh food compartment are designed
to provide high humidity levels required by
most vegetables and lower humidity levels
required for most fruits.
When replacing the drawers, always push
them all the way in.
Storage time will depend upon the type
of food and its condition when placed in
the drawers.
Excess water that may accumulate in the
bottom of the drawers should be emptied and the drawers wiped dry.
High Humidity
Setting the drawer for high humidity keeps unwrapped foods fresh by
retaining the natural moisture content of foods such as:
• Artichokes • Cherries • Plums
• Corn • Radishes • Beets, topped
• Rhubarb • Blueberries • Greens, leafy
• Carrots • Lettuce • Tomatoes, ripe
• Parsley • Peas, green
As in any refrigerated storage area, it is recommended that foods with
strong odors be stored wrapped—foods such as:
• Broccoli • Cabbage • Parsnips
• Cauliflower • Turnips • Green onions
The high humidity setting also works well for the convenient storage
of lunch meats and cheese, hors d'oeuvres, spreads and snacks.
Low Humidity
Setting the drawer for low humidity keeps the following foods fresh:
• Apples • Oranges • Squash, summer • Apricots
• Peaches • Grapes • Pears
• Mushrooms • Raspberries • Tangerines
