• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid
place, frequent opening of the door or storing a
lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause
condensation to form. Wipe off the
condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
Storing Frozen Food
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for
further information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a 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 pounds 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 (how 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, and then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
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 it does, you could
have food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging Recommendations
• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
Humidity Controlled
Crispers
Using the Humidity Controlled
Crispers
This feature is only available on some models.
The crispers provide fresher tasting fruit and
vegetables by letting you easily control humidity
inside the drawer.
You can control the amount of humidity in the
moisture-sealed crispers by adjusting the control
to any setting between Vegetables and Fruit.
• Vegetables keeps moist air in the crisper for
best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
• Fruit lets moist air out of the crisper for best
storage of fruit.
Removing/Assembling the
Humidity Controlled Crispers
1
Lift the front of the cover up with both hands
until it detaches from the back wall of the
cabinet, then pull it out.
2
Pull out the crisper to full extension, lift the
front up, and pull straight out.
