Getting to know your new refrigerator-freezer
Here are some of the features of your
Frigidaire Refrigerator-Freezer. Take a
moment to know how each can give
you all the convenience it is designed
to provide. Numbers match those in the
illustration on page 3. For helpful in-
formation, read the Foodkeeping.Tips
booklet that is inside this refrigerator-
freezer.
Flex-Quik ice trays O
and ice server O
Fill trays 3/4 full to allow for expansion
of water during freezing. Do not ever-
fill! Place in freezer compartment on
ice tray shelves and on top of the
server, for best use of freezer com-
partment space.
To release ice cubes, place tray upside
down on top of ice sewer. Grasp rim of
sewer and ice tray at diagonally oppo-
site corners, as shown. Push down on
corners; cubes easily drop into server.
Meat Tender compartment O
The cold air directed to the Meat
Tender provides lower temperatures for
best keeping-quality of meats. This ex-
tends the storage time of most meats;
however, it does vary with the type of
meat, its quality, and original condition.
Such coldness makes it possible to
store top quality, freshly cut meats for
up to seven days; specialty meats,
ground meats, and poultry up to three
to five days. A surface freeze of ice
crystals may appear on the meat. This
is normal because of cold temperatures.
See Foodkeeping Tips for helpful in-
formation. Do not store fruits and veg-
etables in Meat Tender.
To receive special cooling, the Meat
Tender must be placed toward the
right, and top shelf must be in the top
position.
For more flexible use of the top shelf,
you can move the position of the Meat
Tender cover shelf.
Extreme left position. Right legs on shelf bars 7 and 8.

Extreme right position. Right legs on shel! bars
f and 2.
Vegetable Hydrators O
Store fruits and vegetables in the Veg-
etable Hydrators. See Foodkeeping
Tips for helpful information.
Leafy vegetables contain a high per-
centage of water and require high-
humidity storage to retain their fresh,
crisp appearance. Rinse and drain
them before storing; this will add a
little extra moisture to help keep them
crisp.
Some moisture may collect in the
Hydrators because of the high moisture
content of the vegetables. When neces-
sary, simply sponge the Hydrators dry.
The moisture balance is best when
each drawer is % full of vegetables, or
more; vchen storing less, ybu may pre-
fer to place some items in plastic bags.
Egg servers _)
Be sure rear edge of server fits under
ledge on door and is securely held.
Store eggs large end up.
Drain pan _)
Moisture collected during automatic
defrosting evaporates from a drain pan
located behind the base grille on left
side. Finding moisture in the pan is
normal, especially on humid days.
Wash pan when you clean refrigerator-
freezer and always after spillovers.
Drain trapO
Located above the drain pan and under
the left Hydrator, the white drain trap
permits defrost water and spillovers to
drain into the pan below it. Clean it oc-
casionally, and always after spillovers.
Condenser
The condenser, an important part of
the sealed refrigeration system, is lo-
cated beneath the fresh food compart-
ment at the rear of the product. Clean
it periodically. (See How to clean your
new refrigerator-freezer on page 6.)
Energq-wise tips
Try not to place your refrigerator-
freezer near a range or hot air register.
Transfer warm foods to a cool con-
tainer before placing them in the refrig-
erator-freezer.
Return fresh and frozen foods to the
refrigerator-freezer as soon as pos-
sible. Measure and remove the quantity
needed for cooking or for the table,
and refrigerate the remainder at once.
Use cold controls efficiently by select-
ing the settings that provide about 36°F
in the fresh food compartment and 0°F
in the freezer.
Fill the refrigerator-freezer with food,
but be careful not to overfill.
Make sure that food packages do not
block air vents in the freezer or fresh
food compartment.
Open the doors only when necessary,
and only for as long as necessary.
Before you go on an extended vaca-
tion, turn off the refrigerator-freezer as
directed on page 7.
Clean the condenser surfaces of the
refrigerator-freezer; dirt restricts air
flow and acts to insulate the condenser,
forcing the refrigerator-freezer to work
harder and longer to maintain proper
temperatures.
