Storing Food
Store fresh foods in covered dishes, in plastic bags, in foil wrap, etc. to prevent them from becoming dry and from transferring odors to other stored foods.
Store frozen food for several days if it stays fully frozen. If frozen food is allowed to thaw, DO NOT attempt to refreeze it. Since liquids expand as they freeze, do not freeze liquids in glass containers as this may cause the glass container to break.
Defrosting
It is normal for frost to collect on the liner inside the refrigerator/freezer. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator/freezer. Defrost the refrigerator/freezer as necessary.
CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects, a hair dryer, a heat gun, etc. to defrost the 
refrigerator/freezer. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator/freezer can occur.
-Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position.
-Remove all food from the refrigerator/freezer.
-Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator/freezer to absorb the excess water.
-Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the inside of the refrigerator/freezer
-Restart the refrigerator/freezer and set the temperature.
-Put the food in the refrigerator/freezer.
Cleaning
A good time to clean the refrigerator/freezer is just after you defrost it.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator/freezer as often as necessary to avoid food odors:
- Remove all food from the refrigerator/freezer.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because they can damage the inside of the refrigerator/freezer.
-Wash the inside of the refrigerator/freezer and the door gasket with a solution of liquid dish detergent and warm water.
-Rinse with clean water and dry.
