with the word Accessory. Not all accessories will fit all models.

Convertible Vegetable/Meat Drawer
Temperature Control
The convertible vegetable/meat drawer can be adjusted to
properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is
cooled to prevent spot freezing and can be set to keep meats
at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage
temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
IMPORTANT: To extend freshness, wrap meats in airtight,
moisture-proof materials before storing. Always store meat as
recommended.
Adjusting the Control
The convertible control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
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.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
