Storing foods
CAUTION
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an
•
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavour.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, and
•
melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in a 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 taste and nutrients.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator
•
temperatures even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator
•
and causes temperatures to rise.
Never keep too much food in the door rack as it may push against the inner racks so
•
that the door cannot fully close.
Do not put items filled with water on the refrigerator.- If spilled, there is a risk of fire or
•
electric shock.
Do not overfill the refrigerator with food. - When you open the door, an item may fall
•
out and cause personal injury or material damage.
Do not put items filled with water on the refrigerator.- If spilled, there is a risk of fire or
•
electric shock.
Do not place a lighted candle in the refrigerator for removing bad odors. - This may
•
result in electric shock or fire.
Bottles should be stored tightly together so that they do not fall out.
•
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.

CAUTION
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.
When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always
•
store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
NOTE
If you keeping the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequently open the door or
•
store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no effect on operation or
performance. Remove the dew with an absorbent dry cloth.
