Temperature Controls
At first, set the freezer and fresh food controls at the center of the "INITIAL SETTING" ranger
Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.. At first, set the Fresh Food and Freezer controls at the center of the "iNITIAL SETTING" range.. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether you are setting the controls for the first time or adjusting them later. Then, if you want colder or warmer temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls one setting at a time.
NOTE: Turning the Fresh Food control to OFF turns off cooling in both compartments--fresh food and freezer-- but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
HOW TO TEST TEMPERATURES
To test the fresh food compartment place a bulb-type thermometer into a jar of water on the top shelf° Check it one day later.
To test the freezer compartment put a bulbtype thermometer between two or three frozen packages in the center of the freezer. Check it one day later
Food Storage Suggestions
Fresh Food Storage Tips
To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry;
• Always remove store wrappings.
• Rewrap in foil, plastic wrap, wax paper or plastic storage bags and refrigerate immediateiy
• Store raw meat, poultry and seafood on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator so juices won't drip onto other foods, To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or aluminum foil, or put in a plastic storage bag,.
• Carefully wrap to expel air and help prevent mold.
• Pre-packaged cheese can be stored in its own wrapping.
To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers-- they've been designed to preserve the natural moisture and freshness of produce.
• Covering vegetables with a moist towel helps maintain crispness.
• As a further aid to freshness, pre-packaged vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping.
• Do not wash prior to storage
TIPS ON FREEZING FOODS .
- Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains quality and flavor; it cannot improve quality
- Freeze fruits and vegetables quickly after picking to retain quality.
- Use food wraps or storage bags designed especially for freezing.
To store ice cream--Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream content, will normally require slightly lower temperatures than more "airy" already-packaged brands with low cream content, .
- it will be necessary to experiment to determine the freezer compartment location and temperature control setting to keep your ice cream at the right serving temperature,
- The rear of the freezer compartment is slightly colder than the front
To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap welt in freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty wrapping material) forming it carefully to the shape of the contents. This expels air Fold and crimp ends of the package to provide a good, lasting seat,
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed; meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen successfully only once.
SUGGESTED STORAGE TIMES
Meats, fish and poultry purchased from the store vary in quality and age; consequently, safe storage times in your refrigerator will vary, For meat and poultry information, call the UoS. Dept, of Agriculture at 800-535-455
New techniques are constantly being developed Consult the College or County Extension Service or your local Utility Company for the latest information on freezing and storing foods
