Assure adequate air circulation around packages. · Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances. · Beverages with high alcohol percentage should be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position. · Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator!· Foods should be cooled down before storing. · Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the refrigerator. · Try not to open the door too often. · Set the thermostat to the setting where lowest temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods. Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most reliable few hour after steady state is reached. · Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. could cause damage and when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time they can even cause accelerated ageing of the plastic material. · Unpleasant odour inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning.

In case it does not fit perfectly, pull it out and rotate for 180°. [. . . ]
