• Prior to freezing the food, food should always be
tightly with foil, plastic lm, placed in plastic bags or
stored
in airtight containers. This will prevent food from
dehydrating and to prevent any strong odors of some foods
transferring to milder ones.
• To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight
containers and place on the lowest shelf to avoid cross
contamination.
• Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked
foods. For safety, only store raw meat for two or three
days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned
and placed in the crisper.
• Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and
placed in the bottle shelf in the door.
• NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored
food and how often the door is opened affect the
temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the
thermostat temperature settings.
