38 OPERATION
CAUTION
• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door
bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin
or personal injury if items are removed with
excessive force.
• Do not store glass containers in the freezer.
Contents may expand when frozen, break the
container and cause injury.
• The temperature inside the EasyReach™ is
slightly lower than in the shelf or door bin area.
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
doors open to prevent fungi from growing in the
refrigerator.
- Do not store food with high moisture content
towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture
could come in direct contact with the cold air and
freeze.
- Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator.
Vegetables should be washed, and food
packaging should be wiped down to prevent
adjacent foods from being contaminated.
- If the refrigerator is kept 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 off the condensation
with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
- If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened
or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the
refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can
increase the running costs of the unit.
