other heavy-duty wrappingmateriai),
forming it carefuily to the shapeof the

crimp ends of the packageto provide
a good, lasting seal. Don't refreeze
meat that has completely thawed;

you can find foods faster.
@
s F%ce the oidest items up front so they can be used up
promptly.
@ Use ttw?handy sheives on the door for most frequently @
Liswt saucesand condiments.
@ Use the meat drawer,
i
your model is so equipped, for @
meats you do not freeze.
@
TO %3we
IS? Place most perishable items such as milk, cream or
cmttage cheese toward the rear of the top sheif as they
will stay coldest in this part of the fresh food compartment.
Cover moist foods with tight lids, plastic film or foil.
Leaf vegetables and fruits placed in storage drawers
will iast longer when stored in closed plastic containers
or wrapped in piastic film.
Do not overload your freshfood or freezer compartment
with a lot of warm food at once.
Open the door the fewest times possible to save
electrical energy.
When out of town for several days, leave as few perish-
ables as possible in the refrigerator. if your refrigerator
is equipped with an icemaker, move icemaker manual
switch to "OFF"and shut off waterto refrigerator.
