Adjusting Control Settings; Food Storage Guide - Kenmore 106 Serie Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator. The "mid-settings" indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk
or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
The Refrigerator Control functions as the thermostat for
the entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will
run to keep the temperature colder. The Freezer Control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24
hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer
temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the
Freezer Control as well.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.

Food Storage Guide

Storing Fresh Food
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 code date to
ensure freshness.
Butter or margarine
Keep opened butter in covered 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 best storage, place milk on
interior shelf.
Eggs
Store in original carton on interior shelf.
Fruit
Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready
to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in a
crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a
refrigerator shelf.
Leafy vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in
plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in
crisper.
Fish
Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day as purchased.
