Fresh Food Storage

, The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should

be kept between 34°-40 ° F (1°-/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 2/4hours. If the temperature
is above/40 ° F (4° C} adjust the controls as explained

on pages 8 and 9.

, Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This

reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.

Fruits and Vegetables

, Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help

preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer

time periods (see page 12}.

Frozen Food Storage

, The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be

kept at approximately 0° F (-18° C]. To check the

temperature, place an appliance thermometer

between the frozen packages and check after 2/4
hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18 ° C],
adjust the control as described on pages 8 and 9.

, 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}.

, 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.

, 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 wJJl 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.

, Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable

freezer wrap prior to freezing.

, Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the Freezer

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 22 and 23
for approximate storage times.

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.

Removing Odors From

1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFR

2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior,
drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the

instructions (see page 2/4}.

4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into
crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for
five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water` Dry
surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.

5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.
Discard spoiled or expired items.

6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed
containers to prevent reoccurring odors.

7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to
refrigerator`

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 fuji 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 or an added layer of insulation.

, 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 in refrigerator to reduce
time that door is open.

, Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling

refrigerator as instructed in your installation
instructions.

8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.

9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.

Ufodor is stiJJ present:

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.

. Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning

instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.

Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not
present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food,
is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were
present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that

the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even

louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
