Storing fresh foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food,
correct temperature and taking into account hygienic
precautions will substantially influence the quality of
the food stored.
Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be
properly packed as to prevent mixing various
moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags
or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or stored in
covered containers or bottles).
Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove
the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-
package).
Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air circulation
around packages.
Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive
substances.
Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be
stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical
position.
Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon
and orange peel, acid in butter etc. can cause
damages when in contact with plastic surfaces or
gaskets for longer period of time.
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the
coldest parts of the refrigerator.
Try not to open the door too often.
Set the thermostat to the setting where lowest
temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat
gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods.
Use a thermometer and measure the temperature
in the individual compartments. Place the
thermostat in a glass vessel filled with water.
Temperature readings are most reliable few hour
after steady state is reached.
Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign
that something is wrong with foods or that your
refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor can
be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior
of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water
and vinegar. We also recommend using activated
carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize
odors.
If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove
quickly perishable articles of food out of the
appliance before you leave.
