Storing
foods
Store
fresh
food
in
the
refrigerator
compartment.
How
food
is
frozen
and
thawed
is
an
important
factor
in
maintaining
its
freshness
and
flavor.
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
the
refrigerator
could
spoil
other
food,
and
lead
to
higher
energy
consumption.
When
storing
the
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
cause
temperatures
to
rise.
Never
keep
too
much
food
in
door
rack
because
they
may
push
against
by
inner
racks
so
that
the
door
cannot
be
fully
closed.
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
nutrient.
When
storing
frozen
food
like
ice
cream
for
a
long
period,
place
it
on
the
freezer
shelf,
not
in
the
door
rack.
Do
not
touch
the
cold
foods
or
containers-
especially
made
of
metallic
-,
with
wet
hands
and
place glass
products
in
the
freezer
compartment.
-
That's
why
you
may
have
chilblains
and
they
may
be
broken
when
their
inner
matters
are
frozen,
causing
personal
injury.
Avoid
placing
moist
food
in
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.
When
storing
eggs
in
their
storage
rack
or
box,
ensure
that
they
are
fresh,
and
always
store
them
in
an
upright

which
keeps
them

General
information
Cleaning
During
average
length
vacations,
you
will
probably
find
it
best
to
leave
the
refrigerator
in
operation.
Place
freezable
items
in
freezer
for
longer
life.
When
you
plan
not
to
operate,
remove
all
food,
disconnect
the
power
cord,
clean
the
interior
thoroughly,
and
leave
each
door
OPEN

prevent

If

move
Anti

pipe
Most
power
failures
that
are
corrected
in
an
hour
or
two
will
not
affect
your
refrigerator
temperatures.
However,
you
should
minimize
the
number
of
door
openings
while
the
power
is
off.
Remove
or
securely
fasten
down
all
loose
items
inside
the
refrigerator.
To
avoid

the

turn
them
all

The
outside
wall
of
the
refrigerator
cabinet
may
sometimes
get
warm,
especially
just
after
installation.
Don't
be
alarmed.
This
is
due
to
the
anti-condensation
pipe,
which
pumps
hot
refrigerator
to
prevent
"sweating"
on
the
outer
cabinet
wall.
Regular
cleaning
is
recommended.
Wash
all
compartments
a
baking
soda
solution
or a
mild
detergent
and
warm
water.
Rinse
and
dry.
Please
verify
that
the
power
cord
is
not
damaged,
power
plug
is
not
overheated,
or
power
plug
is
well
inserted
into
the
power
consent.
Always
remove
power
cord
from
the
wall
outlet
prior
to
cleaning
in
the
vicinity
of
electrical
parts
(lamps,
switches,
controls,
etc.).
Wipe
up
excess
moisture
with
a
sponge
or
cloth
to
prevent
water
or
liquid
from
getting
into
any
electrical
part
and
causing
an

shock.
Never
use
metallic
scouring
pads,
brushes,
coarse
abrasive
cleaners,
strong
alkaline
solutions,
flammable
or
toxic
cleaning
liquids
on
any
surface.
Do
not
touch
frozen
surfaces
with
wet
or
damp
hands,
because
damp
object
will
stick
or
adhere
to
extremely
cold
surfaces.
It
is
important
that
your
refrigerator
be
kept
clean
to
prevent
undesirable
odors.
Spilled
food
should
be
wiped
up
immediately,
since
it
may
acidify
and
stain

surfaces
if
allowed

Use
