and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following
chart for storage times. When storing meat longer than the
times given, freeze the meat.
Fresh fish or shellfish..........................use same day as purchased
Chicken, ground beef, variety meats (liver)..................... 1-2 days
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ..................................................... 3-5 days
Cured meats....................................................................... 7-10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.
Crisper
Crisper Drawers
To remove and replace the crisper drawer:
1. Slide the crisper drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front
and slide the drawer out the rest of the way.
2. Replace the drawer by sliding the drawer in fully past the
stop.
Crisper Cover
To remove and replace the crisper cover:
1. Remove the crisper(s).
2. Pull the glass straight out.
3. Replace the glass by pushing it straight in.
Crisper Humidity Control
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to LOW or HIGH.
LOW (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of
fruits and vegetables with skins.
■ Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag
or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to
use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or
store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
■ Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.
HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of
fresh, leafy vegetables.
■ Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or
tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag
or plastic container and store in crisper.
FREEZER FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features.
Wire Freezer Shelf
(on some models)
To remove and replace a wire shelf:
1. Remove the shelf by lifting the entire shelf slightly and
moving it all the way to the left-hand side. Tilt the right-
hand side up and out of the shelf supports.
2. Replace the shelf by inserting the left-hand end all the way
into the shelf supports. Then, lower the right-hand end of the
shelf and insert it into the shelf supports.
NOTE: The shelf should lower slightly and lock into place. If the
shelf does not appear stable, make sure both ends of the shelf
are inserted into the shelf supports.
Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of
food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight
and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the
package or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer
throughout the product. 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.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze
within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot
[907 to 1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer
door must close tightly.
NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
