Precooked foods and leftovers
• These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not
dry out.
• Keep for only 1 – 2 days.
• Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.
Vegetable and fresh fruit
• The vegetable container is the optimum storage location
for fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Take care not to store the following at temperatures of
less than 7°C for long periods:
Citrus fruit, melons, aubergines, pineapple, papaya, courgettes, passion fruit,
cucumber, peppers, tomatoes
• Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh,
browning and/or accelerated decaying.
• Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas, and mangoes.
DEFROSTING
The fridge compartment defrosting process is carried out automatically every time
the compressor stops. The defrost water is automatically routed to the drain port
and into a tray placed on the top of the compressor to the rear of the appliance
from which it evaporates.
Make sure the drain port on the fridge at the rear of the appliance is kept clear.
Freezer compartment defrosting
The freezer compartment will need defrosting periodically or when the frost is
more than 3mm thick.
