FOOD STORAGE TIPS

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 340-40 ° 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 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40 ° F (4° C) adjust the control as explained on pages 10-12.

• 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 14).

• 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.

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 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18 ° C), adjust the control as described on pages 10-12.

• 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 itself. 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Removing Odors From Refrigerator

1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.

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 23).

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, containels and jars. Discard spoiled or expired items.

6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containels to prevent recurring 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 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 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.

If odor is still 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.

OPERATING SOUNDS

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 refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that

were present in older refrigerators, 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.
