PART - 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator compartment
• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporating liquid and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and packaging
to stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you
intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment (that
is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storage
conditions.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.
Some suggestions on the placing and storage of your food in the refrigerator compartment
are provided below.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
• Use the freezer for storing deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and making
ice cubes.
• When freezing fresh food, ensure that as much of the food surface as possible is in
contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• When freezing fresh food (e.g. meat, fish and mincemeat), divide it into portions that you
will consume in one sitting.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the food in the freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
