wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept
in glass containers, Never place spoiled foods in the

Food Storage Suggestions
Fresh Food Compartment
Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum
foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent
air circulation.

Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats,
poultry and fish. Meats should be wrapped individually
and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish and poultry
in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish should be used
the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such as
nam, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their
original packages.
Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before
placing them in the refrigerator.
Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers.
Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
Vegetable Crispers
The trays at the bottom of the. refrigerator are covered
to retain moisture. The crisper compartments will enable
you to store vegetables and fruits which would otherwise dry
out rapidly.
Dairy Compartment
.
The closed compartment on the inner door are designed to
store butter and cheese at the proper temperatures so that
they can be served directly from the refrigerator to the table,
