large party trays, deli items, or
beverages.

Pantry™ can decrease refrigerator tem-
perature. Refrigerator control may need
to be adjusted.

WHAT CAN I DO TO
PROLONG THE LIFE
OF MY PRODUCE?
Please observe the following rules when
storing produce in humidity-controlled
crisper drawers:
➢ DO NOT wash produce before placing
in crispers. Any additional moisture
added to the drawers may cause pro-
duce to prematurely spoil.
➢ DO NOT line crispers with paper
towels. Towels will retain moisture.
➢ DO NOT place leafy vegetables in the
temperature-controlled drawer. Colder
temperatures will damage leafy produce.
➢ Follow control instructions carefully.
Not setting controls correctly may
damage produce.
