STORING FOOD

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and
defrosted is an important factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas,
pineapples, and melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could
spoil other food, and lead to high electric bills!
• When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents
moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutritional valve.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps
refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the
refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature
control dial.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted. This causes loss of taste and
nutritional valve.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

• Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze
upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the
covered container.
• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed
and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food
from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always
store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.
NOTE : • If you keep the refrigerator in a hot, and humid place, frequently open its
door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no
effect on its performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
• If droplets form beneath the cover of the vegetable drawer, keep
vegetables or fruits wrapped by plastic wrap.
