STORAGE OF FOOD

4. How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment
- Cooked dishes can be put into the refrigerator once they have cooled
to room temperature.
- Use the egg pockets and bottle pockets for eggs, butter, milk and
bottled drinks, etc.

5. Placement of Food

- Leave enough space between foods. If items are stored too closely
together, the cold air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the
refrigeration effect.
- Food to be stored should be wrapped with clean plastic film and/or
aluminium foil to avoid cross-contamination, odours or loss of moisture,
and then distributed amongst the compartments and shelves.
- Cool hot food down to room temperature before putting it in the fridge
to avoid any increase in energy consumption or formation of frost
within the fridge.
IN USE
1. The appliance might not operate consistently (there is possibility of
defrosting or a rise in temperature in the frozen food compartment) if
it remains below the cold limit of the temperature range for which the
refrigerating appliance is designed.
2. The internal temperatures may be affected by such factors as the
location of the refrigerating appliance, the ambient temperature and
the frequency of door opening, etc., and, if appropriate, a warning
that the settings of any temperature control devices might need
adjustment to allow for these factors, will be given.
3. The storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers should be
adhered to.
4. A rise in the temperature of frozen food during manual defrosting,
maintenance or cleaning could shorten its storage life.
5. It is better to wrap frozen food in several layers of food wrapping
materials before placing it on the glass shelves.
6. Certain care must be taken with frozen food in storage in the event
that the appliance is not run for an extended time (interruption of
power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).

Tips for keeping food perfect in the fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meat on a plate large enough to collect juices
and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the fridge, ensuring all parts of the
fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food
To prevent the transfer of flavours or loss of moisture, food items should be
covered and/or packed separately. Fruit and vegetables need not
be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the fridge. This will
help to stop the internal temperature of the fridge from rising.
Shut the door
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in the 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
• Place spreadable butter and cheese on the upper door shelf in the fridge
compartment. This is where the temperature is the warmest.
• Store preserves, jars and eggs on the middle shelf. Eggs are best stored on
the supplied egg tray.
• Place drink cartons and bottles in the large lower door shelves. Position full
containers closer to the hinge in order to reduce the strain on the door.
• Place cooked and baked foods on the glass shelves.
• Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish on the
glass cover above the vegetable drawer. This is where the temperature
is the lowest.
• Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the vegetable tray.
• Only store strong alcohol standing upright and tightly closed.
• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the fridge.
