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.
