PART 6: ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD


Food products, which are susceptible to the absorption of odours or that release odours must always be
stored in closed boxes or in appropriate packaging.

Fruit, vegetables and salad products can be stored unpacked in the vegetable drawers.

Appropriate wrapping materials for food are plastic wrap, aluminium foil, glass jars, etc.

The products should not touch the back wall, otherwise they may freeze on.

Always allow hot dishes to cool down before placing them into the refrigerator.

Open the door only for a short time so that the inside area of the fridge is not heated. This saves energy.

Never store explosive materials or products with fl ammable compressed gasses (e.g. whipped cream
sprayers with pressurised capsules/cartridges, spray cans) – DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Do not place oils intended for food preparation into the removable drawers in the refrigerator door. This
may cause cracks caused by the pressure in the plastic on the door.

Alcoholic beverages must always be stored in the cold zone, in a vertical position and fi rmly and safely
closed.

Advice about refrigerating food

While the air in the refrigerator circulates, areas with various temperatures arise. These areas are especially
useful for storing various types of food. Arrange the food in such a way that air can freely fl ow around the food.
The coldest zones (suitable for example for storing meat) are found immediately above the vegetable drawers.
On the other hand the zones that are less cold are at the top towards the outside and inside the door (ideal for
storing butter and cheese).
