Caution: Some time will be required for the refrigerator to reach the set level when temperature adjustments are made. The length of this period is determined by difference in the existing and set temperatures, the ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and closed and the amount of food in storage. * Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator * Dry any water droplets on the food before placing it in the refrigerator.
