LOW [-] (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage
of fruits and vegetables with skins.

refrigerator shelf.

container and store in crisper.
HIGH [-I-] (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

or in their original carton on an interior shelf.
FREEZER FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features
that can be purchased separately as product accessories are
labeled with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all

accessories, please call the toll-free number on the back cover
or in the “Accessories” section.
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 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space
in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be certain 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.
