Fresh food features
The fresh food compartment is designed to keep your fresh food as fresh, chilled, healthy, and
tasty as possible.
Fruit and vegetable storage
The fruit and vegetable storage bin provides an environment in which you control the humidity.
Fruit and vegetables stored in the normal refrigerator environment will lose moisture very
quickly to the cold, dry air. This means they will shrivel and lose flavor very quickly. By
controlling the humidity in the bin, the air is kept moist, and fruit and vegetables retain
significantly more moisture. This keeps them more flavorsome, fresher and healthier, for longer.
Fruit needs slightly lower humidity than vegetables, so the storage bin has an adjustable slide
with three settings.
To remove
Pull drawer out to full extension.
Tilt up front of drawer and pull straight out.
To install
Insert drawer into frame rails and push back into place.
Meat drawer
The temperature controlled meat drawer at the bottom of the fresh food compartment provides
an environment perfect for storing a range of items. It has two settings – cold setting and
coldest setting.
The coldest setting is slightly colder than the rest of the fresh food compartment, and is perfect
for storing meat. The cold setting is a similar temperature as the fresh food compartment, and is
great for other fresh foods. To change between settings slide the control to the desired setting.
