ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at
room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the
refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can
stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which
you will use in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(that is
above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing
conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

Freezer compartment

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time
and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be
frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will
use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods.
• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be
stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• W hen buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at
temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appopriate containers to maintain the quality
of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that
the contents have deteriorated.
• The strorage life of froozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required
to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instruductions
printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be
opened easily. It's quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be
opened easily.
