Storing Food & Saving Energy
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 refrigerator 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.
 •  Use the meat keeper drawer for short term
storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two 
days should be frozen.
Frozen Food Storage
 •  Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F  
or lower.
 •  A freezer operates most efficiently when it is
at least 
⅔ full.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
 •  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.
Loading the Freezer
 •  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.
 •  Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods, such as
ice cream and orange juice, on the freezer 
door shelves. These foods are best stored 
in the freezer interior where the temperature 
varies less.
Ideas For Saving Energy
Installation
 •  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.
Temperature Settings
 •  Refer to earlier sections in this Use & Care
Manual for recommendations on temperature 
control settings.
Food Storage
 •  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.
