Fresh Food Features

Climate-Controlled Drawers

Humidity-Controlled Crisper Drawers

The crisper drawer keeps produce fresh longer by providing an environment with adjustable humidity.

Controls
The crisper controls regulate the amount of humidity in the crisper drawer. Use the low
setting for produce with outer skins. Use the high setting for leafy produce.

Temperature-Controlled Drawer

Chef's Pantry™
The Chef's Pantry™ system provides a drawer with a variable temperature control that keeps
the compartment up to 5°F (3°C) colder than refrigerator temperature. This drawer can be
used for large party trays, deli items, or beverages.

Control
The Chef's Pantry™ control regulates the air temperature in the drawer. Set control level to cold to
provide normal refrigerator temperature. Use the coldest setting for meats or other deli items.

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 produce to
prematurely spoil.

DO NOT line crispers with paper towels.
Towels will retain moisture.

Follow control instructions carefully. Not
setting controls correctly may damage
produce.

See chart below for assistance with controls:
