SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD
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, pineapples, and
�
melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and
�
lead to higher electric bills!
When storing, cover food 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 open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
�
temperatures to rise.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
�
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This deteriorates taste and nutrition.
�
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf,
�
not in the door rack.
It is reco m m ended to load food at least 25mm for type A or 15mm for type B against back of
�
freezer wall, it will keep good air circulation in the freezer compartment (see page
Freezer Door Basket, marked (
�
storage of frozen food (optional).
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon 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 clean to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh. Always store them in a upright
�
position, which keeps them fresh longer.
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
�
compartments of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
�
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
�
drip onto other food.
Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice-
�
cream and making ice cubes (optional).
One-, two-, and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food (optional).
�
If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave
�
the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
