on ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of foods kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
Using interior compartments
Body shelves: Distance between
the shelves can be adjusted when
necessary.
Crisper: Vegetables and fruits can be
stored in this compartment for long
periods without decaying.
