USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR
The Kenmore Elite™ Side-By-Side Refrigerator has been
designed with features and functions that maximize space
saving. The following customized compartments help
keep your food fresher longer. In order to further prevent
odor from seeping into the ice, securely wrap stored foods
as airtight as possible.
STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER
ICE BUCKET
Designed to store large amounts
of ice.
DAIRY BIN
Can be used to store small dairy
items like butter, margarine, yogurt,
and cream cheese.
TILT CAN CARRY
Can be used to store beverage
cans or bottles.
OPTIONAL WINE RACK
Helps wines maintain their taste by
providing an optimized place for
storing your wine bottles.
TEMPERED GLASS SHELVES
Designed to be crack-resistant, the
shelves can be used to store all
types of food and drinks. Circular
marks on the glass surface are a
normal phenomenon and can usually
be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
FOLDABLE SHELF
This shelf folds to let the user
quickly change the usable storage
space to accommodate tall bottles
and containers.
REFRIGERATOR DOOR BINS
Designed to handle large, bulky
items such as gallons of milk or
other large bottles and containers.
EGG CONTAINER
Best place to keep eggs. Place the
container on the shelf for easy
access.
DELI DRAWER
Designed to store and preserve
deli items such as cold cuts and
cheeses, and cuts of fresh meat.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CRISPERS
Used to preserve the freshness of
your stored vegetables and fruits.
This drawer has been specifically
designed to control the level of
humidity within the compartment.
Keep vegetables and fruits
separate, when possible.
A
CAUTION
Do not use your fingers, hands, or any other objects in
the ice chute or the icemaker bucket. This may result
in personal injury or material damage.
SLIDE-SHELVES
Can be used to store all types of
frozen food.
FREEZER DOOR BINS
Can be used for small packages of
frozen food.
FREEZER DRAWERS
Best used to store meats or dry
foods. Stored food should be
wrapped securely using foil or
other suitable wrapping materials
or containers.
FOOD STORAGE TIPS:
• DO NOT place any large items of food under the lamp
in the refrigerator. An air sensor is located near the
lamp and if the sensor is blocked, the refrigerator may
become too cold.
• ALWAYS place vegetables and fruits in the vegetable
and fruit crispers to avoid freezing.
• If the food in the refrigerator becomes frozen, please set
the temperature higher.
• Bottles should be stored tightly together so that they do
not tip and fall out when the refrigerator door is opened.
• If you plan to go away for an extended period, empty
the refrigerator and turn it OFF. Wipe excess moisture
from the inside of the appliance and leave the doors
open. This helps keep odor and mold from developing.
USING THE DOORS
The refrigerator and freezer doors have automatic door
closers to ensure that the doors close and seal
completely.
When a door is opened or closed to less than 3 inches, it
will automatically close and seal. When a door is opened
more than 3 inches, it will stay open until it is closed.
