STORING FOOD /
●
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause
temperatures to rise.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, 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 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.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT /
●
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for
freezing:
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door
rack.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
