•  Keep the fresh food compartment between 34° F and 

40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F. 

•  Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which 

reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.

•  Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where 

trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for 

longer time periods.

•  Wash items and remove excess water.
•  Wrap any items that have strong odors or high 

moisture content.

•  Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely 

to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods  

or surfaces.

•  Use the deli drawer to store meat/poultry for short-

term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two 

days should be frozen.

•  Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F or lower.
•  A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least

⅔ full.

•  To minimize food dehydration and quality 

deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, 

freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as much air 

out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. 

Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color, 

and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

•  Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer 

wrap prior to freezing.

•  Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

•  Prior to grocery shopping, activate “quick freeze” 

so that on your return you can ensure your newly 

purchased food designated for the freezer will be 

preserved as quickly as possible.

•  Activating “quick freeze” also will help your freezer 

more efficiently maintain the selected temperature

after placing new purchases with pre-existing  

frozen foods.

•  Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at 

one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of 

freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

•  Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate 

freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

•  Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the 

room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating 

ducts or registers.

•  Do not place the refrigerator 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 refrigerator operate more efficiently.

•  Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

•  Refer to the “Controls” section for procedures on 

temperature settings.

•  Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold 

air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run 

longer and use more energy.

•  Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing 

them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture 

build-up inside the unit.

•  Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. 

Remove as many items as needed at one time and 

close the door as soon as possible.

•  Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf. 

Remember, such an extreme temperature change 

may damage the glass.
