Sight hum, soft hiss You may hear the refrigerator s and moving air. fan motor Cicking or snapping sounds The thermostat makes a definite cick when the refrigerator stops running. It aso makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer wi cick when the defrost cyce starts. Water-sounds When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurging in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may aso hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan.

20 There is a coiec~. way to p&&.-and storerefriger&d or.frozen foodto keep food fresher, onger,.takd the time to study these recommended steps. Storing fresh food Wrap or store food paced in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof materia. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness. Leafy vegetabes Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discoored areas. Wash in cod water and drain. Pace in pastic bag or pastic container and store in crisper. Vegetabes with skins (carrots, peppers) Store in crisper, pastic bags or pastic container. Fruit Wash, et dry and store in refrigerator in pastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hu berries unti they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in their origina container in a crisper, or store in a oosey cosed paper bag on a refrigerator shef. m3gs Store in the origina carton on an interior shetf. Mik Wipe mik cartons. For best storage, pace mik on interior shef. Butter or margarine Keep opened butter in covered dish or cosed compartment. When storing an extra suppy, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze. Cheese Store in the origina wrapping unti you are ready to use ft. Once opened, rewrap tighty in pastic wrap or auminum foi. Leftovers Cover eftovers with pastic wrap or auminum foi. Pastic containers with tight ids can aso be used. Meat Store most meat in origina wrapping as ong as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the foowing chart for storage times. TYPE APPROXIMATE (DAYS) TIME 1 Chicken 1 to 2 I 1 Steaks and roasts 3 to 5 I Variety meats 1 to 2 If storing meat onger than the times given, foow the directions for freezing. NOTE: Use fresh fish and shefish day as purchased. the same I

21 The freezer se&n is designed for storage. of commerciay frozen food and for freezing food at home. NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, contact your oca Cooperatfve Extension Service or check a freezer guide or reiabe cookbook. Packaging The secret of successfu freezing is in the packaging. The way you cose and sea the package must not aow air or moisture in or out. Packaging done in any other way coud cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food. Packaging recommended for use: 9 Rigid pastic containers with tight-fitting ids Straight-sided canning/freezing jars Heavy-duty auminum foi Pastic-coated paper Non-permeabe pastic wraps (made from a Saran fim) Foow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. Do not use: Bread wrappers Non-poyethyene pastic containers Containers without tight ids Waxed paper Waxed-coated freezer wrap Thin, semi-permeabe wrap The use of these wrappings coud cause food odor, taste transfer and drying of frozen food. Fteeqng Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze any arge quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than wi freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space for air to circuate around packages. Be carefu to eave enough room at the front so the door can cose tighty. Storage times wi vary according to the quaity of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature, which shoud be 0 F (-17.8%). 21
