Note
make sure to keep the two ends of a shelf on the same level.
Otherwise it may fall or the food on it may dump.

Fridge storage precautions
Hot foods must be cooled to room
temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
Clean the food and dry any droplets on it
before placing in the refrigerator.
Food to be stored should be properly sealed.
This will prevent moisture in the food from
evaporating and prevent them from spoiling.
Sorted storage of food.
Food to be stored should be sorted according
to their category. Food consumed daily should
be placed on the front part of the shelves. This
can avoid unnecessary delays in door opening
as well as expiration of the storage period
because you forgot to eat it.
Do not store excess quantities of food.
Food should be stored with spaces in between
them. This allows cold air to flow smoothly and
therefore obtain better storage results.
Do not place the food too near to the inner
walls.
Do not store foods with high moisture content
clinging to the inner walls. Otherwise they may
freeze to the walls. Place food a little away
from the inner walls.
Avoiding food (especially oil food) contact with the inner liner directly, as oil can
erode the inner liner. So it's better to clean the oily dirt whenever it is found.
