Storing Fresh Foods

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct
temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will
substantially influence the quality of the food stored.
• Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to
prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene
bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or stored in covered
containers or bottles).
• Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive
packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package).
• Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each
other (various odours may mix). Assure adequate air circulation
around packages.
• Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.
• Beverages with high alcohol percentage should be stored in tightly
sealed bottles in vertical position.
• Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator!
• Foods should be cooled down before storing.
• Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the
refrigerator.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to the setting where lowest temperatures are
reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of the
foods.
Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the individual
compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with
water. Temperature readings are most reliable few hour after steady
state is reached.
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel, acid
in butter etc. could cause damage and when in contact with plastic
surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time they can even cause
accelerated ageing of the plastic material.
• Unpleasant odour inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is
wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant
odor can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the
refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar.
We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or
to neutralize odors.
• If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable
articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.
