Deli Pan Settings
The Ingredient Care Center control panel located above each deli
pan has the following three temperature settings: Deli, Produce,
Meats (Cold to Coldest) and the Quick Chill setting. Select the
appropriate setting for the food being stored.
Meat Storage Guide
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.
Fresh fish or shellfish ................. use same day as purchased
Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.)......... 1-2 days
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ........................................... 3-5 days
Cured meats ........................................................... 7-10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.
Quick Chill Setting
Each deli pan has a Quick Chill setting. Activating this selection
lowers the temperature of the pan for a period of one hour.
NOTE: This will lower the deli pan temperature below the freezing
point for liquids. Care should be taken on what items are in the
pan when this setting is selected.
Crisper Pan
Above each deli pan is a crisper pan (the larger of the pans)
which is for your larger produce items.
Remove and Replace the Deli/Crisper Pans
1. Slide the deli/crisper pan straight out to the stop. Lift the front
of the pan with one hand while supporting the bottom with
the other hand. Slide the pan out the rest of the way.
2. To replace the deli/crisper pan, pull out the pan slides until
they are fully extended and set the pan on the slides. Push
the pan in toward the back until it is in closed position.
3. Reopen the deli/crisper pan to make sure it has been
replaced properly.

Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be 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.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot
[907-1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to
leave enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
