Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the foodparticularly if it has a strong flavor.
Place food pro perly so that air can circulate freely around it.
The c risp er, mounted on tel esco pic extension slides, is for storing vegetables and fruits. You can adjust the humidity inside by using the sliding block.
The sliding block on crisper cover can slide to left or right and the air hole become more or less relatively. More air hole opening means less humidity and less means more humidity.
