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 easily break 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.
