STORING FOODS
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment.
• How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food that spoils easily, such as
bananas and melons, at low temperatures.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing; placing hot
food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and
lead to higher energy consumption.
• When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store
in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from
evaporating and helps food to keep its flavor and
nutrition.
• Do not block air vents with food or containers.
Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps the
refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the
doors allows warm air to enter the refrigerator and
freezer compartments, which causes temperatures
to rise.
• Never overload the door racks; overloading may
push against the inner racks and prevent the doors
from closing correctly.
Freezer compartment
• Do not store glass bottles in the freezer
compartment; glass may break when the contents
are frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed.
This causes loss of flavor and nutrition.
• Do not touch cold foods or containers, especially
those made of metal, with wet hands or place glass
products in the freezer compartment.
• Do not use the egg box as an ice bin in the freezer.
The egg box will break easily if it freezes.
Refrigerator compartment
• Avoid placing moist food on the top refrigerator
shelves; it could freeze from direct contact with
chilled air.
• Always clean food prior to refrigeration.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped
and packed food should be wiped to prevent
adjacent food from spoiling.
NOTE: If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid
place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of
vegetables in the refrigerator may cause
condensation to form. Wipe the condensation with a
clean cloth or a paper towel.
