Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storingatroom
temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmfulmicrobialgrowth.
z
Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in
suitablepackaging to prevent dehydration, color deterioration, loss of flavor, and transfer
ofodor.
Note: We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance orinone of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with
otherfoods.
z
Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into
theappliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures.
Itmayalso cause sealed items to sweat/condensate—which is undesirable.
z
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle
racksprovided.
z
Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
z
Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that
showsign of spoilage.
z
Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside
your appliance.
z
We recommend using MAX COLD when you are adding food items toyour appliance, such
as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food ischilled/frozen within the
shortest period of time, locking in the freshness andextending the shelf life of your food.
z
A refrigerator will keep food safe for up to 4 hours during a power outage. Keep the
door closed as much as possible. Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers after 4 hours without power.
Items stored in your refrigerator
z
Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf
tominimize any transfer of odor or odor absorption from other foods.
z
Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odors through
theirporous shell structure.
Items stored in your freezer
z
We recommend cooling carbonated beverages only when the BOTTLE CHILL function
isactive.
Note: Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer. Failure toremove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood
ofbottle/canexplosion.
z
Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and
prevent freezer burn.
z
To maintain freshness and quality, we recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator.
Ensure partially or fully defrosted foods are never re-frozen—cook immediately.
