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 appliance
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.
Energy-Saving Ideas
Do not place the unit 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 unit
operate more efficiently.
•
Level the appliance so that the door
closes tightly.
•
Refer to the "SETTING THE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL" section
for the suggested temperature
control settings.
•
Do not overcrowd the unit or block
cold air vents. Doing so causes the
appliance to run longer and use
more energy.
•
Cover foods and wipe containers
dry before placing them in the unit.
This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
•
Organize the appliance to reduce
door openings. Remove as many
items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
Storing Food & Saving Energy
•
Locate the unit
in the coolest
part of the
room, out of
direct sunlight,
and away from
heating ducts
or registers.
Vacation And Moving Tips
Short Vacations:
•
Leave the unit operating during
vacations of less than three weeks.
Long Vacations:
If the appliance will not be used for
several months:
•
Remove all food and unplug the
power cord.
•
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
•
Leave the door open slightly, blocking
it open if necessary, to prevent odor
and mold growth.
Moving: When moving the
unit, follow these guidelines to
prevent damage:
•
Disconnect the power cord plug from
the wall outlet.
•
Remove foods, then defrost, and
clean the appliance.
•
Secure all loose items such as
base panel, baskets, and shelves
by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.
•
In the moving vehicle, secure the
unit in an upright position to prevent
movement. Also protect outside
of the appliance with a blanket, or
similar item.
Care & Cleaning
Keep your unit clean to prevent odor
build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately
and clean at least twice a year. Never use
metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive
cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on
any surface. Do not wash any removable
parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the
electrical power.
CAUTION
•
When moving the appliance pull
straight out. Do not shift the unit
from side to side as this may tear or
gouge the floor covering.
•
Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. Do not touch interior metal
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
