6. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
7. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more
energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
8. The arrangement of food for storage and for freezing, where applicable, particularly including advice that food to be
frozen is not to be placed in direct contact with food in storage and, if appropriate, that it could be necessary to reduce
the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.
9. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food,
and clean it. The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the
refrigerator when it is reconnected.
10. During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However, remember that prolonged power
outages may occur while you are gone.
11. The door to the evaporator clearance can be used to store food.
12. The storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially
quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets.
13. The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the
refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
14. The care required with regards to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
