Use and Care Guide

Looking Inside

SHELF ADJUSTMENT

Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the

shelves, remove all food.

Crispers & Deli Drawers

The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing

fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove

excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high

moisture content should be wrapped before storing. UGP-14C does not apply as it

has a wire basket for the crisper drawer

Food Storage Ideas

FRESH FOOD STORAGE

• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 38° F and 40° F (3.3° C

and 4.4° C) with an optimum temperature of 38° F (3.3°C).

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of

air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

Note: The purchase of a remote thermostat is an ideal way to understand how your

appliance functions inside; a sending unit is placed inside your fridge while the

temperature display sits on your kitchen counter. You can keep track of the interior

temperature of the fridge without opening the fridge door.

RUITS AND VEGETABLES

• Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and

vegetable quality for longer time periods.

MEAT

• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and

contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE

• The freezer compartment should be kept at 8.6°F (-13°C) at a 77°F

(25°C ) room ambient
