inet to be sure of a good seal

l Open the door as few times as possrble. Think about what you need before You open the door. Get everything out at one time. Keep foods orga- nized so You won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food ISremoved.
l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.
lIt IS a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s cold
