Food storage suggestions.

For information about fresh and frozen food storage techniques see a cookbook or check with your local county extension agent or public utility home economist.

Store fresh or frozen foods in packages or containers that provide a good seal against air and moisture.

. Do Not allow children or anyone

unable to safely operate the

refrigerator-freezer to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator-freezer.

. Never discard or store your old

refrigerator-freezer (even for just a few days) without safely removing or sealing the refrigerator-freezer doors. Prevent entrapment and suffocation accidents by reading the enclosed safety booklet from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers.

Important note: Your freezer cannot quick-freeze large quantities of food. Put in only as much unfrozen food as will freeze within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space.) Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Check to make sure that you leave enough room at the front of the freezer to tightly close the door.

The Power-Saver Control operates electric heaters around the door openings. These heaters help keep moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator.

1. Set at “Consumes Less Energy” when humidity is low.

2. Set at “Reduces Exterior Moisture” when moisture appears on the outside of the refrigerator. (A red dot appears when the switch is in this position.)

The meat drawer temperature control lets more or less cold air flow from an opening between the freezer and the refrigerator. This helps to keep the meat drawer colder than the rest of the refrigerator. Set the control to the coldness level you want.
