Food Storage Tips

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.

CAUTION

• Do not overll or pack items too tightly into door

bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.

• Do not store glass containers in the freezer.

Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury.

Food

Butter or Margarine

Cheese

Milk

Eggs

Fruit

Leafy Vegetables

Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

Keep opened butter in covered dish

or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Store in original wrapping until used. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.

Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed paper bag on refrigerator shelf.

How to Store

Food

Fish

Leftovers

Freeze fresh sh and shellsh if they

are not being eaten the same day

purchased. Eating fresh sh and shellsh the same day purchased is

recommended.

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.

How to Store

Storing Frozen Food

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity

of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE

• Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for

30 minutes, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-tting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specied freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

25OPERATION

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

NOTE

• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a

short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.

• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned o for

an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.

• Do not store food with high moisture content

towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.

• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator.

Vegetables should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.

• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid

place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause

condensation to form. Wipe o the

condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.

• If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is

opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.
