/ +6
C.

• To avoid frosting, humidification and odour, food should be placed in the fridge in closed
containers or covered with appropriate material.
• Hot food and beverages should be cooled to room temperature before being placed in
the fridge.
• Vegetables and fruits can be placed into crisper by packaging with clean and (if possible)
spongy plastic bags.
• Storing fruits and vegetables separately helps stop ethylene sensitive vegetables (green
leaves, broccoli, carrot etc.) being affected by ethylene releaser fruits (banana, peach,
apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products and fruits & vegetables together.
Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should
package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• You should consume packaged foods before the expiry date.
Important Note:
• Cover the liquid and stews when you put them on fridge. If you do not, the humidity
inside the fridge will increase, causing the fridge to operate less efficiently. Covering the
food and beverages also allow you to protect their taste and flavour.
• Potatoes, onion and garlic should not be kept in the fridge.
Some suggestions on the placing and storing of your food in the fridge compartment are
supplied below.
