Adding too much warm food to the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to high electric bills. · Do not open doors too frequently. Whenever the door is opened, warm air enters the refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise. ENGLISH Evaporator Compartment · Do not store bottles in the evaporator compartment ­they may break when frozen. · Do not refreeze food that has been completely thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutritional value. Refrigerator Compartment · 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 nutrients. · Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. · Food with odor (fish, cheese, butter etc. ) should be wrapped securely or stored in closed containers.
