SUGGESTIONS ON
FOOD STORAGE
Storing Food
■ Do not store food which goes bad easily at
low temperature, such as bananas
pineapples, and melons.
■ Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing
hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other
food, and lead to higher electric bills!
■ When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in
a covered container. This prevents moisture
from evaporating, and helps food to keep its
taste and nutritional value.
■ It is desirable to store moist food
(especially vegetable and fruit) in the
vegetable compartment.
If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the
refrigerator, put it close to the door away
from the back wall of the refrigerator to
avoid being frozen by the cool circulating
in the refrigerator.
■ Do not block air vents with food. Smooth
circulation of cold air keeps the refrigerator
temperature even.
■ Do not open the door frequently. Opening the
door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and
cause temperature to rise.
■ To adjust the temperature control easily, do
not store food near the temperature control
dial.
■ Never keep too many foods in door rack, as
this may stop the door from closing fully.
■ Do not store bottles in the freezer
compartment - they may break when frozen.
■ Do not refreeze food that has been thawed.
This causes loss of taste and nutritional
value.

■ If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and
humid place, frequently opening the door
or putting a lot of vegetables in it may
cause condensation to form. This has no
effect on its performance. Remove the
condensation with a dry, dust-free cloth.
■ If droplets form beneath the cover of the
vegetable drawer, keep vegetables or
fruits wrapped with plastic wrap.
