TIPS ON STORING FRESH FOOD
Storing into the fridge compartment
1. Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.
2. Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance .
3.
Foods stored in the fridge should be washed and dried before storing .
4. Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations .
5. Do not store excessive quantities of food . Leave spaces between foods to
allow cold air flowing around them , for a better and more homogeneous cooling
.
6. Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf .
7.
Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls , allowing air flow . Especially don
' t store foods against the rear wall : foods could freeze against rear wall . Avoid
direct contact of food ( especially oily or acidic food ) with the inner liner , as oil /
acid can erode the inner liner . Clean away oily / acid dirt whenever it is found .
8. Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment . This way ,you can
use the frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save
energy .
9. The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes , melons ,
papaya , ba - nana , pineapple , etc . can be accelerated in the fridge . Therefore ,
it is not advisable to store them in the fridge . However , the ripening of strongly
green fruits can be promoted for a certain period . Onions , garlic , ginger and
other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature .
10. Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and
cleaning is required . See CARE AND CLEANING .
