Fruit & Vegetable Drawer
This refrigerated drawer keeps unwrapped foods fresh by retaining the
natural moisture content of foods such as:
• Artichokes • Cherries
• Corn • Radishes
• Rhubarb • Blueberries
• Carrots • Lettuce
• Parsley • Peas, green
As in any refrigerated storage area, it is recommended that foods with
strong odors be stored wrapped—foods such as:
• Broccoli • Cabbage
• Cauliflower • Turnips
Storage time will depend upon the type of food and its condition when
placed in the drawers.
Excess water that may accumulate in the bottom of the drawer should
be emptied and the drawer wiped dry. The drawer is partially sealed
by gaskets attached to the cover. Always replace the drawer in this
cover and push the drawer all the way in.
Sealed Snack Pack
(on some models)
The sealed Snack Pack—and shelf to which it is attached—can be
relocated within the Fresh Food compartment. The sealed drawer
retains sufficient humidity for convenient storage of lunch meats,
cheese, hors d'oeuvres, spreads and snacks.

the drawer.
The variable temperature control regulates the air flow from the
freezer compartment.

If lever is left in meat position for
a long period of time, some
frost may form on the inside
of the drawer.

the drawer to normal refrigerator
temperature and provide extra
vegetable storage space. Cold air
duct is turned off. Variable settings
between these extremes can be selected.

you regulate the amount of moisture retained in foods.
Slide the control all the way
to the VEG HIGH setting and
the drawer provides high
humidity recommended for
most vegetables.
