When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area: this is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool. Milk, eggs, yogurt,
fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces and jams.
Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat speads, cooking fats and lard.
Coldest area (0℃ to 5℃): this is where foods which must be cold to keep them safe should be kept:
·Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
·Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
·Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
·Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
·Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.
Crisper: this is the most humid part of the Fridge. Vegetables, fruit, fresh salad items eg. Unwashed
whole lettuce, whole tomatoes, radishes etc can be stored here.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRODUCE KEPT IN THE SALAD BIN IS WRAPPED.
NOTE:Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the
fridge. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses
or liquids in the fridge.
Electrical operation after 3h on the freezer, the temperature in the cabinet above -12°C, the alarm
light is lit, and buzzer sounds.
