ENERGY SAVING TIPS FOOD STORAGE TIPS

Locate the refrigerator away from heat

producing applianees such as tile range or

dishwasher, heat vents and direct sunlight.

l,eveI the refrigerator and do not block

ventilation around the front grille.

Keep the freezer filll to near capaei_' so less

cold air will escape during door openings.

When less than two thirds f_ll, place milk

cartons half fi_ll of water in the freezer.

Let hot dishes coo! slightly betk_re putting into

the refrigerator or freeze:r.

Cover liquids.

Clean the refrigerator condenser coils eve U

8-4 months, more often if you have pets (see

page 13).

Wipe moisture from the outside of eontainers

befi_re plaeing them into the refrigerator.

Set tile Energ T Saver switch to the "SAVES

ENEIIGY'" position unless moisture forms on

the outside of the refrigerator.

9. Avoid opening the doors too often.

Fresh Food Storage

The tYesh fbod compartment ofa refi'igerator

should be kept bem_een 34°F and 40°F with an

optinmm temperature of 37°E To cheek the

temperature, pIace art appliance thermometer in

a glass of water and place in the center of' the

refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the

temperature is above 40°F adjust the controls as

explained on page 4.

Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves.

Overcrowding reduces the circulation of air

arom_d the food and results in uneven cooling.

Leave breathing space around food containers

for best cooling resuhs.

The storage requirements for different foods

vary' depending on flle temperature and

moisture needed. Refer to the Food Storage

Chart on pages 10-11 for approximate

storage times. To mNntain the best possible

quality_ keep the following considerations

in mind:

Meat and Cheese

•'Ib maximize storage time store these items in

the Meat/Cheese drawer, t_efer to page 7for

temperature settings.

Fruits and Vegetables

•Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture

to help keep frtfits and vegetables fresh, The

Vari Crisper allows the moisture level to be

adjusted depending on what is stored in the

crisper. Generall> fruits need low moisture

and vegetables need high moisture, t{efer to

page 6 f?Jrsetting the control.

• Fruit and vegetable quality affects the length

of storage. Quali_ can vaUfrom item to item,

variety to variety and season to season+ For

example, a rainy growing season can cause

lettuce to be brown when purchased or brovm

more quickly. Sort fruits and vegetables before

storage and use bruised or soft items first.

Discard those shox,Angsigns of decay.
