In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves. Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator. Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly sealed and vertical. 6.
