Ideas for storing foods

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.

Fruits and vegetables

• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper

drawers, where trapped moisture helps

preserve food quality for longer time

periods.

Meat

• Wrap raw meat and poultry securely

so leakage and contamination of other

foods or surfaces does not occur.

• Use the meat keeper drawer for short-

term storage. Any meat to be kept

longer than two days should be frozen.

Frozen food storage

• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or

lower.

• A freezer operates most efﬁciently when

it is at least ⅔ 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.

Storing Food & Saving Energy

• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods on the

freezer door shelves. These foods are

best stored in the freezer interior where

the temperature varies less.

Ideas for saving energy

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 settings

• Refer to the “Controls” section in this

Use & Care Guide 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.
