Storing Food In The Fridge Compartment - THOMSON THM 70IX Manuel D'utilisation

parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the appliance to avoid any shock.
 Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing
upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly
and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to
prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage
to the cooler elements, move your appliance from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room
where the appliance is located for a few minutes.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care
For best results:
 Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
 Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating,
deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour
transfer.
 Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as
butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
 Cool hot foods down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.
Dairy foods and eggs
 Most pre‐packed dairy foods have a recommended 'use by /best before/best
by/' date stamped on them. Store them in the refrigerator compartment and
use within the recommended time.
 Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a
sealed container.
 Eggs can be stored in the refrigerator compartment.
Red meat
 Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic
wrap or foil.
 Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juice
lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.
Poultry
 Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water,
dried and placed on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
 Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never be
stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.
 Cool and refrigerate cooked poultry quickly. Remove stuffing from poultry
and store separately.
