STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care for best results:
• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
• Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also
prevent odour transfer.
• Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods
such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
• Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.
• Only use the freezer compartment to store ice cubes.
VACATION
For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences:
• Remove all foods.
• Disconnect from electrical outlet.
• Clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan.
• Leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mould or odours.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by putting dry ice on top
of packages.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene foil, or
kept in glass containers.
• Never place spoiled foods in the cabinet.
• Don't overload the cabinet.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
• Keep all accessories, such as shelves, door racks, and drawers, in the appliance to minimise
energy consumption.
• Please read the storage instructions on the food packaging. Always check the storage date.
• An empty fridge consumes more energy. After all, when the door is opened, warm air enters
the space and needs to be cooled. More air enters when there are fewer products, meaning
that more energy needs to be consumed to cool that air. So fill your fridge properly or choose
a model sized for your needs.
