    ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER Refrigerator Compartment • To reduce humidity and the consequent increase of frost, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator. In time, the unit will need more frequent defrosting if too much humidity develops inside it.

NOTE: The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
