• Warm food or evaporating liquids should not be stored in your
refrigerator, as this will increase the humidity inside of the
appliance.
• All foods should be wrapped or covered, this is particularly
important if the food has a strong fl avour. You should use
polythene bags or sheets, aluminium foil, wax paper. Liquids
should be stored in covered containers or bottles.
• To maximise the space inside of your refrigerator, any
excessive packaging on the food should be removed.
• Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the
refrigerator, which is the coldest part of the appliance.
• No food items should be allowed to come into contact with the
back wall of the refrigerator.
• Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door
can close completely. Particular attention should be given to
bottles that may protrude when placed on shelves inside the
main section of the refrigerator.
• Some organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange
peel and acid in butter, can cause damage to the plastic parts
contained inside of the refrigerator.
• Do not open the refrigerator door too often or leave the
door open for long periods of time, as this will increase the
temperature inside of the appliance.
• Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed
on the glass shelf above the salad drawers. (Meat should
only be stored in this manner for one or two days at the
most).
• Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be
placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and
placed in the salad drawers.
• Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or
they can be wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. As
much air as possible should be removed from the bags.
• Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle shelf that sits in the door.
• Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be
stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight
containers.
