REFRIGERATOR FEATURES Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models. If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please call the toll-free number on the cover or in the "Assistance or Service" section. Refrigerator Shelves The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.
Frozen food storage guide Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package or container securely to prevent taste and odor transfer throughout the product. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
Power Interruptions If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company and ask how long it will be off. 1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen. 2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours: a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker. OR b) Place 2 lbs. (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for two to four days.
■ Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. See the “Refrigerator Features” section. ■ Are the doors opened often? Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs.
The doors will not close completely Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space. ■ ■ Is the ice bin out of position? Push the ice bin in all the way. ■ Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position? Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets back into their correct positions. See the “Refrigerator Features” section for more information.
