FOOD STORAGE iDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
• The fresh food compartment should be kept between
34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°R
• 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 moisture to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods.
Meat
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
ENERGY SAVING iDEAS
• Locate the refrigerator in the
coolest part of the room, out of
direct sunlight, and away from
heating ducts or registers. Do
not place the refrigerator next
to heat-producing appliances
such as a range, oven, or
dishwasher. If this is not
possible, a section of cabinetry
or an added layer of insulation between the two
appliances will help the refrigerator operate more
efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the door closes tightly.
• Refer to the "Temperature Control" Section for the
suggested temperature control settings.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air
vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture
build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
VACATION AND MOVING TiPS
Short Vacations:
Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less
than three weeks.
Long Vacations:
If the refrigerator will not be used for several months:
• Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Leave the refrigerator door open slightly, blocking it
open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving: When moving the refrigerator, follow these
guidelines to prevent damage:
• Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the
refrigerator.
Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets,
and shelves by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.
In the moving vehicle, secure refrigerator in an
upright position to prevent movement. Also protect
outside of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
