The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although low temperatures can be maintained, extended periods
of food storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods
should be stored in different sections according to type.
1. Butter, cheeses etc.
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Drinks, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yogurts, preserves etc.
6. 75 ml bottles or ready meals etc.
7. Fresh meat and fish
8. Fruit and vegetables

The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements within the fridge section.

•
To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and then lower the rear section.
Fridge storage
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before
being put into the refrigerator.
Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation
problems which will be difficult to remove.
Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.
Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh
and avoid unpleasant odours.
Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to
circulate.
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.
Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce.
Freezer storage
The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food.
Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer.
Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods
should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date.
Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1kg). This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality
of the food after thawing.
Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage.
Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartments as they could explode.
The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period is 3.0 kg.
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
