The Revolving Shelf brings everything in the storage com- partment within easy reach. The Eject-O-Cube Ice Cube Tray pops out the ice cubes with- out fuss or bother. The Button-Touch Door Latch makes it easy to open the door, even when your hands are full of dishes. The 7-Point Dial Temperature Selector gives you easy visible control of w! ver cooling temperature you desire. The Triple-Storage Food Compartment furnishes exactly the right storing facilities for lettuce, other vegetables and foods that need special attention.
