When the door is opened, warm humid air is
allowed into the refrigerator. The more the
door is opened, the faster the humidity
builds up, and the more warm air the
refrigerator must cool. In order to keep the
refrigerator cool, try to get everything you
need out of the refrigerator at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find and close
the door as soon as the food is removed.

too warm, move the dial one number at a

necessary, repackage food according to the
