5.4 Crisper Humidity Control
(some models)
The crisper humidity control, present on
the crisper drawers of some models,
allows you to adjust the humidity within the
crisper. This can extend the life of fresh
vegetables that keep best in high humidity.
IMPORTANT
Store vegetables and/or fruit in the
crisper drawers.
NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when
stored with the humidity control set on
high humidity, or in a drawer without a
humidity control. This keeps incoming
air to a minimum and maintains
maximum moisture content. Store
non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in
their skins at the low humidity setting.
6. STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
6.1 Ideas for storing food
Fresh food storage
• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 34°F and 40°F, with an
optimum temperature of 37°F.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator
shelves, which reduces air circulation
and causes uneven cooling.
• Avoid placing food in front of air ports.
Fruits and vegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture helps
12 ENGLISH
preserve food quality for longer time
periods.
• Wash items and remove excess water.
• Wrap any items that have strong odors
or high moisture content.
Meat
• Wrap raw meat and poultry separately
and securely to prevent leaks and
contamination of other foods or
surfaces.
Frozen foods storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F
or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently
when it is at least 2/3 full.
Packaging foods for freezing
• To minimize food 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 seal
them tightly. Trapped air can cause
food to dry out, change color, and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
• Wrap 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 a space between packages, so
cold air can circulate freely, allowing
food to freeze as quickly as possible.
6.2 Ideas for energy saving
Installation
• 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 doors
close tightly.
Temperature setting
• Refer to Controls and Settings for
procedures on temperature settings.
Food storage
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or
blocking 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.
• Do not place a hot container directly on
a cold shelf. Remember, such an
extreme temperature change may
damage the glass.
7. NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
7.1 Understanding the sounds
you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency appliance may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your appliance is
operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may
make these sounds more noticeable.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your
appliance is not a sound insulator.
Following is a list of major components in
your appliance and the sounds they can
cause:
A. Evaporator. Refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
B. Evaporator fan. You may hear air
being forced through the refrigerator
by the evaporator fan.
C. Defrost heater. During defrost cycles,
water dripping onto the defrost heater
may cause a hissing or sizzling sound.
After defrosting, a popping sound may
occur.
ENGLISH 13
D. Electronic control & automatic defrost
control. These parts can produce
snapping or clicking sound when
turning the cooling system on and off.
E. Compressor. Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than
previous models. The compressor may
have a noticeable hum or pulsating
sound during operation.
F. Drain pan (not removable). You may
hear water dripping into the drain pan
during the defrost cycle.
G. Motorized damper. May produce
intermittent humming during operation.

NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of your
freezer compartment is normal.
8. CARE AND CLEANING
8.1 Vacation and moving tips

• Leave the appliance operating during
vacations of three weeks or less.
• Use all perishable items from the
appliance compartment.
Long vacation
• Remove all food and ice if you will be
