USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before 

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding 

food to 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 cold to your liking and ice cream is firm. 

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for 

the entire appliance. 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 the temperature in the refrigerator 

or freezer, begin 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 table below as a guide.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

ITEMS

HOW TO STORE

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

Store opened butter in a covered 

dish or in a closed compartment. 

When storing a larger quantity, 

wrap in freezer packing and 

freeze.

Cheese

Store in original packaging until 

you are ready to use it. Once 

opened, tightly rewrap with 

plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Vegetables with 
skins (carrots, 
peppers)

Place in bags or plastic containers 

inside the crisper.

Fruit

Wash and let dry; store in plastic 

bags in the refrigerator. Do not 

wash or pit berries until you 

are ready to eat them. Berries 

should be selected and kept in 

their original packaging (if there 

is any) or in a paper bag closed 

halfway and set on a shelf.

Leafy Vegetables

Remove original packaging and 

trim any dirty or discolored parts. 

Wash in cold water and drain. 

Place in a plastic bag or plastic 

container and store in the crisper.

Fish

Consume fish or seafood the 

same day purchased.

Chef Fresh

Store any meat in original airtight, 

moisture-proof packaging 

Rewrap if necessary.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic 

wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic 

containers with airtight lids can 

also be used. 

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: 

For more information on how to prepare food to 

be frozen such in a way to see the period they can be 

stored consult a frozen food guide or cook book.

Packaging

A great freezing depends on how great you package the 

food. When you seal the package make sure you remove 

all excess air and do not allow humidity. A package that 

is incorrectly sealed will result in the transmission of bad 

odors, contaminants inside your refrigerator and will 

cause your foods to dry.
