To make the best use of a refrigerator and to take care of it one has to follow some rules, which is giving here and its a few general rules.
1. Do not keep hot foods in the refrigerator in the mistaken belief that it will cool quickly. But warm foods will raise the temperature of the other foods and will cause steaming and dampness.

Fruits and vegetables are best packed in polythene bags.

Empty the entire contents into the basket and keep away during the process of defrosting, and put them back in the proper places after the operation. For quick defrosting, fill the ice trays with hot water and wait until the ice has melted, but do not prod it. Wipe the shelves with soap water and mop up with clean water. A solution of sodium bicarbonate is recommended if there is any offensive odor. Dry the inside with cloth before restarting the machine. however, now we have the facility of automatic defrosters.
