Storing Food

NOTE
• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a
short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.
Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will
stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for
an extended period, remove all food and unplug
the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the
door open to prevent fungi from growing in the
refrigerator.
• If doors are opened or closed too often, warm
air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its
temperature. This can increase the running costs
of the unit.

and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
