Storing Foods; Refrigerator Compartment; Freezer Compartment - John Lewis JLAFF2010 Instruction Manual

• Two stars section
• Two stars means the temperature in the
section is -12°C~ -18°C.
• Freezer foods for short-term storage.

Storing foods.

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator
compartment. How food is frozen
and thawed is an important factor in
maintaining its freshness and flavour.
• 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 a refrigerator could
spoil other food, and lead to higher energy
consumption.
• When storing 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.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth
circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator
temperatures even.
• Do not set the temperature of fridge-
freezer lower than needed. Do not put
the food near the temperature sensor.
• Do not open the door frequently.
Opening the door lets warm air enter the
refrigerator and causes temperatures to
rise.
• Never keep too much food in the door
rack as it may push against the inner racks
so that the door cannot fully close.

Freezer Compartment

• 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
nutrients.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream

for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
• Do not touch cold foods or containers
- especially metallic containers - with
wet hands or place glass products in the
freezer compartment.
• You may get chill blains, and glass
containers may break when frozen, causing
personal injury.

Refrigerator Compartment

• Avoid placing sauces on top refrigerator
shelves, which could freeze on 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.
Suggestion for energy
saving
• Please do not keep the door open for a
long time, close door in the shortest time.
• Too much food are not advised to be put
in. Enough space should be kept for cool
air circulating freely.
• Do not set the temperature of
refrigerator lower than needed. Do not
put the food near the temperature sensor.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing.
Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer
could spoil other food, and lead to higher
electric bills.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth
circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer
temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening
the door lets warm air enter the fridge-
freezer, and cause temperature to rise.
