FOOD STORAGE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
• Thefreshfoodcompartmentshouldbekeptbetween34°F
and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.
ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
• Locatetherefrigeratorinthecoolest
part of the room, out of direct
sunlight, and away from heating ducts
or registers. Do not place the
refrigeratornexttoheat-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.
• Leveltherefrigeratorsothatthedoorclosestightly.
• Refertothe“SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL”
section for the suggested temperature control settings.
• Donotovercrowdtherefrigeratororblockcoldairvents.
Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use
more energy.
• Coverfoodsandwipecontainersdrybeforeplacingthem
in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
• Organizetherefrigeratortoreducedooropenings.Remove
as many items as needed at one time and close the door
as soon as possible.
Some models are equipped
with a Deli Drawer for storage
of luncheon meats, spreads,
cheeses, and other deli items.

The Humidity Control, present on some models with crisper
drawers, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper. This

note
Leafy vegetables keep
best when stored with the
Humidity Control set on High
Humidity, or in a drawer
without a Humidity Control.
This keeps incoming air to
a minimum and maintains
maximummoisturecontent.
