ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely  before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the  
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk  
or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
higher the number setting, the longer the compressor  will
run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps

more cold air in the Freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures  in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24
hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer
temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the
freezer control as well.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always
remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Storing Fresh Food

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator  in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout  the
refrigerator. For dated products,  check date code to
ensure freshness.

Butter or margarine

Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed
compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap 
in freezer packaging and freeze.

Cheese

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to 
use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.

Milk

Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.

Eggs

Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Fruit

Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in
the crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until you are ready
to use them. Sort and keep berries in their original
container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator  shelf.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in a
plastic bag or plastic container and store in the crisper.

Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store 
in crisper.

Fish

Chef fresh

Store most chef fresh in original wrapping as long as it is
airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. 

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic
containers with tight lids can also be used.

Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
