Food Storage Tips

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 1°-4° C with an optimum temperature of 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 4° C adjust the controls as explained on page 7.

• 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 10).

• 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 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.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately -18° C. To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above -18° C, adjust the control as described on page 7.

• 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

• 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.

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.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

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 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.

• 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.

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.

SOUND

Clicking

Air rushing or whirring

Gurgling or boiling sound

Thumping

Vibrating noise

Buzzing

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Freezer control (A) clicks when starting or

stopping compressor.

• Motorized device (B) sounds like an electric

clock and snaps in and out.

• Freezer fan (C) and condenser fan (D) make

this noise while operating.

• Evaporator (E) and heat exchanger (F)

refrigerant makes this noise when flowing.

• Ice cubes from ice maker (select models) drop

into ice bucket (G).

• Compressor (H) makes a pulsating sound

while running.

• Refrigerator is not level.

• Ice maker water valve (I) hookup (select

models) buzzes when ice maker fills with water.

SOLUTION
