compartments when the doors are opened leading to
condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level
of humidity in the home will help to control the amount
of moisture that can enter the compartments.

compartment may raise slightly and condensation may
form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm
that the proper temperature has been restored once
the defrost cycle has completed.
Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp
containers can lead to moisture accumulation within
each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store
food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and
frost.
