Storing Foods
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an
$
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, and
$
melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil
$
other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This
$
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
Please keep a distance at least 15 mm from the air vents to food.
$
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,
$
and cause temperatures to rise.
Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner
$
racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
$
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
$
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
$
shelf, not in the door rack.
Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct
$
contact with chilled air.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
$
wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always
$
store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
NOTE
If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, and frequently open the door or
•
put a lot of vegetables in it, moisture may form in it which has no effect on its
performance. Just wipe the moisture with a cloth free.
