How to use a fridge

The main purpose of a refrigerator is to keep food cold, which helps it stay fresh longer by slowing down bacterial activity. Refrigeration also serves as a storage solution.

WHAT IT'S USED FOR

Stable installation before use. Plug into grounded outlet, away from water. Regularly clean inside and out. Avoid overloading for airflow. Set temperature between 1°C-4°C. Keep door closed, especially with children. Ensure vents are unblocked. Secure loose items inside. Check door seals regularly. Unplug during maintenance. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. When in doubt, discard.
