ADDITIONAL TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
•
Do not let any fats come into contact with the plastic parts of the refrigerator.
•
Glass and plastic bottles should not be placed in the chiller compartment unless recommended by the product manufacturer.
•
Freeze fresh foods by packaging them correctly and placing them in the chiller compartment, but do not place carbonated
beverages here.
•
Many whole foods such as radishes, bananas, pumpkins and onions are not necessary to refrigerate.
•
During a power outage, do not open the refrigerator unless absolutely necessary.
•
Do not store canned items, as they can expand and burst.
•
The chiller compartment is not cold enough to keep frozen treats such as ice cream or popsicles. Those items require a freez-
er.
•
Do not overfill the refrigerator, as this blocks proper circulation and increases consumption of energy. Leave space around the
food to allow proper air circulation.
•
Keep foods well-sealed to prevent them from drying out and to keep odors from mixing together.
•
Store raw meat and fish on the lowest shelf to prevent contamination.
•
When purchasing chilled food, store all chilled food together while transporting it back from the store. Place it in the fridge as
soon as possible, before the other items.
•
Food that has been left at room temperature for a prolonged period can cause the food to develop bacteria.
•
To maintain temperature, only open the fridge door to put food in or take food out. Allow hot food to cool down before put-
ting it into the refrigerator.
•
Ensure that bottles and food containers are clean and dry before storing them in the refrigerator.
•
Turning the temperature control dial to the "0" position will stop cooling but it does not cut off power to the refrigerator.
•
When the appliance is not in use for a long period of time, turn it off and disconnect it from the power supply. Empty all food
