ENSURING
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to ensure proper temperatures,
air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer, sections As shown
in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom
of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then
flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates
under the freezer floor, The rest of the air enters the
refrigerator
section through
the top vent

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storing
Fresh
Food
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator
in airtight and
moisture-proof
material unless otherwise noted This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator
For dated products, check code date to
ensure freshness
Butter or margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed
compartment.
When storing an extra supply, wrap
in freezer packaging and freeze
Cheese
Store in the original wrapping until you ere ready to
use it.. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or
aluminum foil,.
Milk
Wipe miik cartons For best storage,
shelf, not on door shelf
place milk on interior
Eggs
Store in original
carton on interior
shelf, not on door shelf
Fruit
Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready
to use Sort and keep berdes in original container in a
crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a
refrigerator shelf.
Leafy vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas Wash in cold water and drain Place in
plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

STORING
FROZEN
FOOD
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a
reliable cookbook
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging When
you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or
moisture in or out If you do, you could have food odor
and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry
out frozen food
Packaging recommendations:
- Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
- Straight-sided canningtfreezing jars
,, Heavy-duty aluminum foil
., Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
" Specified freezer-grade self-seating plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods
Do not use;
', Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
- Containers without tight lids
o Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick4reeze any large quantity of
food Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than
will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food
per cubic foot of freezer space) Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages Be careful
to leave enough room at the front so the door can close
tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type
of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (.airtight and
moisture-proof) and the storage temperature, 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.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for
30 minutes, then package and freeze, Cooling hot foods
before freezing saves energy
NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause
the sensor to malfunction
Meat
Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is
airtight and moisture-proof Rewrap if necessary. See the
following chart for storage times,, When storing meat
longer than the times given, freeze the meat,.
Chicken .................................
1-2 days
Ground beef ..............................
1-2 days
Organ meats (liver, heart, etc) .............

Cold cuts ...........................................

REFRIGERATOR
SHELVES
Slide Out Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet
your individual storage needs Your model may have
glass or wire shefves
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will
make finding the exact item you want easier; it will also
reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open,
saving energy
You can slide some glass shelves in and out of your
refrigerator as follows
• To slide the shelf out, carefully pull front of shelf
toward you
, To slide shelf in, push shelf in until it stops
IMPORTANT:
Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed
to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as
bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made
with tempered glass, which will shatter into small pebblesized pieces
