There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food.
To keep food fresher longer follow these recommendations:
SSttoorriinngg FFrreesshh FFoooodd
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof
material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date to ensure freshness.

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.
•Clean the condenser coil regularly.
•Open the door as few times as possible. Think about what you need
before you open the door. Get everything out at one time. Keep
food organized so you will not have to search for what you want.
Close door as soon as food is removed.
•Don’t overcrowd the refrigerator so air movement is blocked.
•Don’t set the refrigerator and freezer to temperature colder than
necessary.

Your new refrigerator may make different sounds than your old one.
Hard surfaces, such as the ceilings, walls, and cabinets around the
refrigerator can make sounds seem louder. These sounds are normal
and will soon become familiar. These sounds also indicate refrigerator
is operating and performing as designed.
