STORAGE AND CLEANING IDEAS FOR STORING FOODS VACATION AND MOVING TIPS Fresh Food Storage Short Vacations: • • • Keep the fresh food compartment between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F. Avoid overcrowding the freezer shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling. Fruits and Vegetables • Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
CARE AND CLEANING NOTE • Turning the freezer temperature control to “OFF” (See page 8) turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the lights or other electrical components. Unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position. • Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels.
