REFRIGERATOR USE
GENERAL
•
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage
time should not be exceeded.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
•
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
•
Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
•
Do not use an adapter.
•
Do not use an extension cord.
•
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
1.
Plug in your refrigerator. Wait for 30 minutes, and then open the
refrigerator door to determine if the refrigerator is working properly.
2.
Place frozen food into the refrigerator as quickly as possible after
purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow
these instructions regarding storage times.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•
Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in
the refrigerator. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
•
Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer.
•
Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
•
Do not line refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper
or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efficient.
•
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended
searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and then
close the door as soon as possible.
•
Do NOT add a large amount of unfrozen food to the refrigerator at one
time. This will lower the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
