Fresh Food Storage
Frozen Food Storage
. The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34° and 40° F (1° and/4 ° C) with an
optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a
glass of water and place in the center of the
refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature
is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained
on pages 10 and 11.
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
The crisper drawers trap humidity to help preserve
the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods
(see page 13).
Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of decay.
Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
. The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at approximately 0° F 018 ° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 24
hours_ If the temperature is above 0° F (-18 ° C),
adjust the control as described on pages 10 and 11_
. A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds full
Packaging Foods for Freezing
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of the packages as
possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped
air can cause the food to dry out, change color and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn}.
. Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
. Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables}. Drain
vegetables well before storing.
Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Meat and Cheese
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
. Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of
hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan}. Cut off at
least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the mold itselL Do not
try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.
Dairy Food
. Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream
and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their
cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these
foods in the original carton and refrigerate
immediately after purchasing and after each use.
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of
freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
. Leave space between the packages so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream
and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.
Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 21 and 22 for
approximate storage times.

Energy Saving Tips
, Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces
air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to
run longer.
Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at
one time. This overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.
, Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and
causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
, A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. ,Avoid
areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,
registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is
not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of
cabinet.
Clean door gaskets every three months according to
cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals
properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.
Take time to organize items [n refrigerator to reduce
time that door is open.
Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling
refrigerator as instructed in your installation
instructions.
, Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning
instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of
refrigerator.
2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections - including
doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white
newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled
newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.
