Frigidaire FGHB2869LE ユーザーズマニュアル

24

 •  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 

(2) days should be frozen.

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

least

 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 (2) 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.
