Frigidaire FFHN2740PS0 オーナーマニュアル

•  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.
