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.

Shelf
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.
