STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
• The appliance should be located in the
coolest area of the room, away from
heat producing appliances or heating
ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing in the unit. Overloading
the appliance forces the compressor to
run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly
may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and
wipe containers dry before placing
them in the unit. This cuts down on
frost build-up inside the unit.
• Shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Re-
move as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.
Refrigerator Storage Tips
• Operate the appliance in Refrigerator Mode to store a variety of fresh fruit,
vegetables, beverages, and other food stored for a short term.
• Do not place cooked food in the refrigerator until it has cooled to room temperature.
• Seal food containers completely before storing food.
Freezer Storage Tips
• Operate the appliance in Freezer Mode to store meat and other frozen food for a
longer term.
• Be sure to consume frozen food within its suggested period of time.
