Food Storage Tips

* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
check date code to ensure freshness.
Food How to
Butter or Keep opened butter in a covered
Margarine dish or closed compartment. When
storing an extra supply, wrap in
freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it. Once
opened, rewrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk,
place containers on interior shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or hull the fruit until it is
ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit
in its original container, in a crisper,
or store in a completely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Vegetables tear off bruised and discolored areas.

Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish in
the freezer section if they are not
being consumed the same day of
purchase. It is recommended to
consume fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.
Leftovers Cover leftovers with plastic wrap
or aluminum foil, or store in plastic
containers with tight lids.
Kimchi To prevent overflow, when storing
kimchi in special bin, do not fill over
marked line.
If lid is not closed properly, kimchi
will be exposed to air, forming
yeast and quickly turning sour. For
maximum freshness, wrap with
plastic and close lid properly.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook
for further information about preparing food
for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large
quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen
food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per
cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough
space in the freezer for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave enough room at
the front so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and
the storage temperature. 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.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
