OPTIBIN CRISPER HUMIDITY CONTROL
With easy-to-control humidity inside the crisper
bins, the Optibin Crispers ensure fresher-tasting
fruit and vegetables.
The Optibin Crispers include a humidity control
knob at the front of the crisper cover.
You can control the amount of humidity in the
moisture-sealed crispers. Store vegetables or
fruits requiring more or less humidity in separate
crispers. Adjust the control to any setting
between the High and Low letter.
A lower humidity setting lets moist air out of the
crisper for the best storage of fruits.
A higher humidity setting keeps moist air in the
crisper for the best storage of fresh, leafy
vegetables.
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 easily break 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.
