OPTIBIN ™ CRISPER HUMIDITY CONTROL With easy-to-control humidity inside the crisper bins, the Optibin Crispers ensure fresher-tasting fruit and vegetables. The Optibin Crispers include a humidity control knob at the front of the crisper cover. You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crispers. Store vegetables or fruits requiring more or less humidity in separate crispers. Adjust the control to any setting between the High and Low letter. A lower humidity setting lets moist air out of the crisper for the best storage of fruits. A higher humidity setting keeps moist air in the crisper for the best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables. STORING FOODS • Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. • How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining freshness and flavor. • Do not store food that spoils easily, such as bananas and melons, at low temperatures. • Allow hot food to cool prior to storing; placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and lead to higher energy consumption. • When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating and helps food to keep its flavor and nutrition. • Do not block air vents with food or containers. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps the refrigerator temperatures even. • Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the doors allows warm air to enter the refrigerator and freezer compartments, which causes temperatures to rise. • Never overload the door racks; overloading may push against the inner racks and prevent the doors from closing correctly. Freezer compartment • Do not store glass bottles in the freezer compartment; glass may break when the contents are frozen. • Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of flavor and nutrition. • Do not touch cold foods or containers, especially those made of metal, with wet hands or place glass products in the freezer compartment. • Do not use the egg box as an ice bin in the freezer. The egg box will break easily if it freezes. Refrigerator compartment • Avoid placing moist food on the top refrigerator shelves; it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air. • Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped and packed food should be wiped to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. NOTE: If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel. 27
