- For optimum operation, do not leave the door open
for any longer than necessary.
- Leaving the door open allows warmer air to enter
the refrigerator and causes the refrigeration unit to
use more energy to maintain the temperature.

- Do not store volatile chemicals such as
ether and benzene in the refrigerator.
- The fumes, besides damaging food, can
build up and cause an explosion.
