IMPORTANT:

The illustrations shown in this book may not be of your model Frigidaire refrigerator. However, the instructions contained in this book apply to the model you have.

How to use the COLD-CONTROL

Under normal conditions, your Frigidaire refrigerator will automatically provide the right temperature for keeping foods good to eat. However, for special purposes, temperatures which are lower than normal may be required. These are described below. The Cold-Control is located at the upper right hand corner of the food compartment. To change the setting of the Cold-Control, simply turn towards you for colder temperatures, away from you for warmer temperatures.

For normal use—Leave the Cold-Control on Number “1”. Even in hot summer weather this setting will be satisfactory because your Frigidaire refrigerator automatically adjusts itself for changes in kitchen temperatures.

For fast ice freezing—Set the Cold-Control on Number “7”. This provides fast freezing. After the ice has frozen, turn the Cold-Control back to its normal setting.

For freezing desserts, salads and other foods—Set the Cold-Control on Number “7,” until dessert or salad has frozen to the desired consistency. Then turn back to Number “3” or “4.” This will keep it at the proper temperature. Package foods to be frozen according to suggestions on page 8.

For keeping frozen foods—When you keep commercially frozen foods or commercial ice cream in the Super-Freezer, leave the Cold-Control on Number “3” or “4” as long as the foods are to be kept frozen. To thaw foods, place packages on one of the food compartment shelves for 24 to 48 hours. Remove entirely from the refrigerator for fast thawing.

Vacation Setting—When you’re away from home for a number of days and foods are to remain in your refrigerator, set the control on one of the economy positions “A,” “B,” or “C.” This will maintain a satisfactory temperature because the cabinet door will not be opened, and no warm foods will be placed in the food compartment. If no foods are to remain in the refrigerator, remove the electrical cord from the outlet, remove all foods and ice trays, and leave door open. This allows food compartment to air out.

How and when to DEFROST

It is normal for frost to build up on the Super-Freezer. This comes from moisture in the air that enters the food compartment when the door is opened. When this moisture strikes the cold surface of the Super-Freezer, it turns to frost. Removing the frost periodically keeps operating costs low.

When to remove frost—The speed with which frost builds up depends upon the amount of moisture in the air and how many times you open the refrigerator door. When the frost builds up to about ¹⁄₄ inch, or the thickness of a pencil, it should be removed by one of the methods below.

Defrost the FAST way when storing frozen foods

When you are keeping frozen foods, it is important to defrost as rapidly as possible so that frozen foods can be returned to the Super-Freezer before they have had a chance to thaw out. Proceed as follows:

1. Remove frozen foods from freezer and wrap them in several thicknesses of newspaper. Place them in some cool spot in the kitchen.

2. Remove all trays from the freezer. Remove all foods from Cold Storage Tray located beneath the freezer.

3. Turn the Cold-Control to “Off”.

4. Place a pan of hot water in the freezer. An ice tray may be used for this purpose but the water should then be warm not HOT as hot water may damage the waxed surface of the trays.

5. As the frost begins to melt, it will drop into the Cold Storage Tray. DO NOT USE ANY SHARP INSTRUMENT TO REMOVE FROST.

6. When all frost has melted and has been disposed of, reset the Cold-Control to “4”, wash the Cold Storage Tray, place it back in position and return foods to freezer.

Regular Defrosting

When foods are not being kept in the Super-Freezer, this slower method may be used:

1. Follow step “2” above.

2. Set Cold-Control to ‘Defrost’ and leave in this position overnight, or until all frost has melted.

3. Follow step “6” above.

NOTE: The best time to clean your refrigerator is while it is being defrosted. See page 10 for cleaning instructions.

Important Note: Not all features shown in illustration above are provided in every model.

How and Where to Keep Foods

Frozen Foods

Place in Super-Freezer directly on freezer shelf or in Meat-Tender. See page 8 for information on freezing foods.

Milk and Tall Bottles

Store on shelf on either side of Super-Freezer. Put milk in your refrigerator as soon after delivery as possible.

Meats and Poultry

Meats and Poultry to be kept more than a few days, keep best when frozen. See page 8. Poultry should be thoroughly washed and dressed, then placed in Meat-Tender. Smoked meats may be kept in the Meat-Tender for as long as two weeks. Fish should always be kept frozen in the Super-Freezer. Meats and Poultry to be kept for short periods may be stored in the Cold Storage Tray.

Regular Foods

Butter, leftovers and other foods subject to drying out, should be stored in covered containers on any convenient shelf. Cheese should be wrapped in waxed paper for short-time storage, or in moisture-vapor-proof material for longer storage. Eggs should never be washed before placing in refrigerator, as this removes their protective coating.

Leafy Vegetables

Trim, discard undesirable portions, wash thoroughly with cold water and store in Hydrator. Lettuce, celery and similar vegetables keep better if stalks and heads are not cut up or portioned. Carrots, radishes, beets, etc., should be trimmed, washed, drained and placed in Hydrator. Tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers should be washed and wiped dry before placing in Hydrator. Asparagus and Brussel sprouts should not be washed until prepared for cooking. They may be placed on any convenient shelf of your refrigerator.

Fruits

Oranges, apples, lemons, grapefruit, grapes, etc., should be stored in the Hydrator.

How to FREEZE FOODS

· See page 4 for use of Cold-Control when freezing foods or storing frozen foods, desserts or salads.

Freeze foods for longer storage— Foods that are to be kept for more than a few days—especially meats and leftovers—keep better frozen. Many other types of foods may also be frozen successfully. These include fruits and vegetables, poultry, cooked foods, even cakes, pies and other baked goods!

Correct wrapping for freezing— Foods to be frozen should be wrapped or packaged in waxed paper if to be stored for few days. For longer periods use materials made especially for home freezing. Wrap carefully, as illustrated above, being sure to exclude all air.

Using frozen foods— Frozen meats may be cooked from the frozen state or thawed before cooking. If cooked from the frozen state allow extra cooking time. Cook meats at low temperature. Use a meat thermometer with roasts and other large cuts for best results. Frozen vegetables should be cooked from the frozen state. Some pre-cooked frozen foods should be thawed before warming. Fruits are often served while still partially frozen. For cooking commercial frozen foods follow instructions on package.

Keeping commercially frozen foods

Commercial frozen foods may be kept for several weeks by placing them in the Super-Freezer in direct contact with the top or bottom freezer shelf. Follow instructions on the package for thawing or cooking. Frozen foods once thawed should not be refrozen.

Commercial ice creams keep best when removed from packages and placed in one of the Quickube Trays in the Super-Freezer.

How to use your QUICKUBE ice trays

To remove trays—

Pull the tray handle downward. This will release the most stubborn tray.

To remove cubes—

Place one hand on top of the tray, lift tray release lever with other hand. This will release cubes, two or a trayful as desired.

Fill trays only two-thirds full of water. Keep on hand only as many trays of ice as will actually be needed. Use the rest of the Super-Freezer space for frozen desserts or frozen foods. The double-width tray is especially valuable for making larger quantities of salads and desserts.

Facts about the METER-MISER

What the Meter-Miser is

The Meter-Miser is the heart of your Frigidaire refrigerator. It is an exclusive Frigidaire feature—quiet, simple, trouble-free. The Meter-Miser Compressor has two simple parts that move—so economical, it uses no more current than an ordinary light bulb. The Meter-Miser and the entire sealed-in mechanical system of your Frigidaire is protected by a 5-year Protection Plan which is covered on page 23.

Oiling

You never have to oil the Meter-Miser. A lifetime supply is sealed-in at the time of manufacture and never needs changing or replenishing.

If You Should Move

Before moving, the Meter-Miser should be securely locked in place by tightening down completely the shipping nuts shown by arrows in the illustration below. These nuts should be loosened before your Frigidaire refrigerator is again put in operation.

Location in Room

The closer any refrigerator is placed to a source of heat, the more current it will use. If possible, locate your refrigerator away from any source of extreme heat or cold.

How to Keep Your Frigidaire Refrigerator Looking Like New

Cabinet Exterior

Wipe with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning use a damp, soapy cloth. Then rinse and dry well. For stubborn stains on Dulux-finished cabinets, use Frigidaire Dulux Surface Renewer[A]—or Frigidaire Porcelain Speed Cleaner[A] for porcelain finished exteriors. Do not use strong gritty soaps, scouring powders or acids.

Quickube Trays

Wash with soap or warm water—NEVER hot water. Do not use metal sponges or scouring powders as these may damage the tray surface and make ice cubes difficult to remove.

Other Interior Equipment

Use a solution of one teaspoonful of soda to a quart of warm water. Rinse with clear water.

Rubber Door Seal

Use water or Frigidaire Nu-Coat[A].

[A] Dulux Surface Renewer, Porcelain Speed Cleaner and Nu-Coat may be obtained from your Frigidaire Dealer.

Frigidaire Recipes

HELPFUL HINTS—about frozen desserts

· No longer is it necessary to use whipping cream or prepare a custard in order to make a dessert with an exceptionally fine texture. Tasty, inexpensive desserts can be made with coffee cream—with half coffee cream and half milk—or even with milk alone.

In making these desserts there are certain points that must be observed. Complete information is given with each recipe.

Use of coffee cream

Coffee cream may be used in place of whipping cream in many frozen desserts by the following method. Substitute an equal amount of coffee cream for the combined quantities of whipping and coffee creams indicated in the recipe. After the first mixture of ingredients has been chilled, add the coffee cream and place in Frigidaire freezing tray until firmly frozen. Then remove the contents of the tray to a very cold mixing bowl and whip with an electric or hand beater until the mixture becomes light and creamy. Return to freezing tray and allow to finish freezing without further agitation.

Coffee cream usually contains 18 or 20 per cent butterfat. It can be used in place of whipping cream for garnishing desserts by first pouring into the freezing tray and allowing it to freeze before whipping. After whipping, place in the freezing tray for additional freezing in order to hold it in proper consistency until serving time.

Freezing method

Your Frigidaire refrigerator has the Cold-Control to speed up freezing. The directions for using it should be followed.

The best method is to set the Cold-Control at the coldest position approximately one-half hour before placing the mixture in the freezer for freezing. This assures colder temperatures in the freezing compartment, which results in faster freezing and better desserts. After the mixture is completely frozen, the Cold-Control should be set at an intermediate position to keep the dessert in the proper consistency until serving time. Important Note: Please see page 4 for use of Cold-Control.

Mellowing improves desserts

All desserts, regardless of kind or the time required for freezing, are much improved in flavor and texture by allowing them to mellow. Especially is this true for fruit creams, fruit salads and similar combinations. This is accomplished by allowing the dessert to remain in the freezing compartment at a higher temperature than that at which it is frozen for some time before it is served. This temperature is obtained by setting the Cold-Control at an intermediate position, as described on page 4.

To avoid buttery taste

A buttery taste in frozen deserts is usually caused by one of two things. Either the cream has been over-whipped or it is too rich in butterfat. The butterfat content of whipping cream varies greatly in different states. In certain localities whipping cream will contain as high as 40 per cent butterfat, making it too rich for a frozen dessert. In this case, it should be diluted with coffee cream or milk. The standard butterfat content for whipping cream is 28 per cent. However, it is possible to whip cream containing only 20 per cent butterfat if it is first poured into the freezing tray and allowed to chill to the freezing point.

Frigidaire Frozen Creams

· A great variety of delicious frozen creams can be made in the freezing trays of your refrigerator. It’s no trick to make them and by trying some of the following recipes you will find that tasty, inexpensive desserts can be made without whipping cream.

Remember that proper temperatures for freezing desserts are just as important as the recipe itself in obtaining the best results.

1 quart fresh raspberries (measure after cleaning)
4 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons orange juice
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt

Cook the sugar and hot water together for about 5 minutes; add raspberries (which have been run through a puree strainer), fruit juices and salt. Cool. Pour into freezing tray and freeze. Remove from tray, whip with an electric or hand beater and return to tray to finish freezing. See page 4 for use of Cold-Control.

Apricot Sherbet
eight to ten servings

¹⁄₂ cup water
¹⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
1 cup apricot pulp
1¹⁄₂ tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup apricot juice
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ cup top milk

Cook water and sugar slowly for ten minutes. Cool. Run apricots through puree strainer. Add lemon juice, apricot juice, salt and syrup, and ¹⁄₂ cup top milk. Pour into freezing tray and freeze until firm. Remove to mixing bowl and whip with electric or hand beater until mix becomes light and creamy. Return to tray and finish freezing. See page 4 for instructions on use of Cold-Control.

Lime Ice
four to six servings

²⁄₃ cup sugar
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt
1 pint water
¹⁄₂ cup lime juice
Green food coloring

Cook sugar, salt and water slowly for ten minutes. Add to strained lime juice. Cool. Add green food coloring. Pour into Frigidaire freezing tray and freeze firm. Remove to mixing bowl and beat until mixture is very light. Return to Frigidaire and finish freezing. See page 4 for use of Cold-Control.

Lemon Ice
four to six servings

³⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
1 pint water
¹⁄₂ cup lemon juice
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt

Cook sugar and water slowly for ten minutes. Cool. Add to strained lemon juice; add salt; pour into tray and freeze firm. Remove to mixing bowl and beat with electric or hand beater until mixture becomes light and creamy. This should be done as quickly as possible, in order to prevent melting. Return to freezing tray and allow to freeze without further agitation. See page 4 for use of Cold-Control.

Frigidaire Novelty Desserts

Mousses retain their popularity because they are so simply and easily prepared. Whipped cream forms the base of these desserts and stirring is unnecessary during the freezing process.

Parfaits are rightly regarded as a very rich delicacy. They are served only when the occasion calls for something very attractive and when calories can be disregarded. The parfait itself is very easily prepared and the same method of preparation is applicable to each recipe. Parfaits are most acceptable when served with strawberries, raspberries or other fruit. However, flavored syrups with nuts are very good substitutes—garnishing with maraschino cherries when desired.

Novelty Desserts—Many times you will want to serve something just a little different; maybe a special dinner dessert, afternoon or evening refreshments, or that “dessert bridge” you have been planning for some time. On these pages are a number of suggestions to help you in planning for these occasions.

Apricot Mousse
ten or twelve servings

1 large can apricots or 2¹⁄₄ cups apricot pulp
2 egg whites
1¹⁄₂ cups cream, whipped
¹⁄₂ cup sugar

Drain the contents of can of apricots and force through a sieve. There should be 2¹⁄₄ cups of apricot pulp. Place in freezing tray and allow to remain for 45 minutes. Remove from the tray and turn into a bowl containing the unbeaten egg whites. Beat until light and fluffy. Whip cream, gradually adding sugar. Fold the cream into the beaten apricots and eggs. Return to the tray and freeze without stirring.

Strawberry Mousse
ten servings

1 pint strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups whipping cream
2 egg whites
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt

Wash and stem berries. Add sugar and crush. Heat until sugar is dissolved. Strain and chill. Add lemon juice to berry mixture. Fold in whipped cream and stiffly beaten egg whites to which salt has been added. Pour into freezing tray, molds or individual cups. Freeze without stirring. See page 4 for use of Cold-Control. This dessert is very attractive when frozen in silver cups, and decorated with whipped cream or whole, fresh berries.

Butterscotch Parfait
ten to twelve servings

²⁄₃ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
¹⁄₂ cup water
4 egg yolks
1 pint whipping cream
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

Combine sugar and butter. Heat until melted. Cook for one minute. Add water; cook until butterscotch is melted. Add syrup mixture slowly to beaten egg yolks. Cook in double boiler until light and fluffy. If you have an electric range, cook in saucepan on LOW or SIMMER heat. Chill. Add whipped cream, salt, and vanilla. Pour into freezing tray or individual cups. Freeze without stirring. Chopped nuts may also be added. See page 4 for use of Cold-Control.

Frozen Crumb Cake
four to six servings

1 cup whipping cream
2 cups sponge cake broken in small portions (Any left-over cake can be used. Angel food cake is delicious served in this manner)
¹⁄₄ cup chopped English walnuts

Whip cream and combine with cake. This should be tossed together with a fork. Add chopped nuts and pour into freezing tray. Freeze without stirring. Slice for serving.

Fruit may be added to the above recipe if desired, either frozen with the cake or chilled and served with the frozen cake. Maraschino cherries may be added. This is an excellent way of using those unused portions of cake and small portions of fruit.

Chocolate Cookie Dessert
six to eight servings

18 thin chocolate cookies (1¹⁄₂ inches in diameter)
1 pint whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla

Whip cream and add vanilla. Spread one tablespoon on one cookie and press another on top. After four or five cookies have been added, lay the stack on edge lengthwise in the center of the freezing tray; complete the roll; then completely cover with remainder of whipped cream. Place in Frigidaire on a shelf for several hours, allowing cookies to absorb some of the moisture from the cream. Garnish with maraschino cherries or chocolate shot. Place in freezing compartment and allow to thoroughly chill or freeze. When freezing, please see page 4 for use of Cold-Control. Serve in diagonal slices and add a small portion of chocolate sauce to each serving.

Variation: Ginger cookies may be used the same as chocolate cookies, and served without chocolate sauce.

Chocolate Bavarian Cream
ten servings

1 tablespoon gelatine
¹⁄₄ cup cold water
1¹⁄₂ squares chocolate
²⁄₃ cup sugar
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ cup hot milk
1 pint whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 lady fingers

Soak gelatine in cold water. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler and add sugar, salt, and hot milk. If you have an electric range, use saucepan on LOW or SIMMER heat. Cook for a few minutes. Add gelatine to hot chocolate mixture. Cool until it begins to thicken. Beat with beater until mixture becomes very light. Fold in whipped cream. Add vanilla. Line a mold with lady fingers. Pour in cream mixture. Place in Frigidaire freezer to chill. When dessert has set, remove to a plate and decorate with whipped cream before serving.

Angel Parfait
eight to ten servings

¹⁄₄ cup water
1 cup sugar
2 egg whites
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pint whipping cream

Cook water and sugar slowly without stirring until it spins a thread (236° F.). Combine slowly with stiffly beaten egg whites to which salt has been added. Continue to beat until thick. Cool. Add vanilla; combine with the chilled whipped cream. Pour into Frigidaire freezing tray. Freeze without stirring. See page 4 for use of Cold-Control.

This should be served with crushed fruit. When served in parfait glasses, add whipped cream and garnish with grapes, preserved cherries, or other fruit.

Maple Parfait
eight to ten servings

³⁄₄ cup maple syrup
3 eggs, separated
1¹⁄₂ cups whipping cream
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat syrup in double boiler, or, if you have an electric range, merely use saucepan on LOW or SIMMER heat. Add syrup slowly to well-beaten egg yolks and cook for several minutes on LOW or SIMMER heat, or in a double boiler. Beat with a rotary beater. Pour into stiffly beaten egg whites. Chill thoroughly. Add whipped cream, salt, and vanilla to custard. Add a few drops of maple extract if a stronger flavor is desired. Mix thoroughly and pour into freezing tray. Freeze without stirring. Garnish with whipped cream and chopped nuts. See page 4 for instructions on use of Cold-Control.

1.F.

1.F.1.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
