Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and
HIGH.
LOW (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of
fruits and vegetables with skins.
■ Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use.
Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store
in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
■ Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.
HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of
fresh, leafy vegetables.
■ Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear
off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or
plastic container and store in crisper.
Humidity Control Location:
■ Humidity Control on crisper drawer (Style 1 - on left)
■ Humidity Control on crisper cover (Style 2 - on right)

Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside
a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in
the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice
crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot
[907-1,360 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave
enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
Freezer Basket or Bin
(plastic bin on some models)
The freezer basket or bin can be used to store bags of frozen
fruits and vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.
To Remove and Replace the Freezer Basket or Bin:
1. Remove basket or bin by sliding it out to the stop.
2. Lift the front of the basket or bin and slide it out the rest of the
way.
3. Replace the basket or bin by positioning it on the side wall
guide rails. Lift the basket or bin front slightly while pushing it
past the guide rail stops and slide basket or bin in the rest of
the way.
