STORING FOOD

Cooling compartment
To reduce humidity and consequent increase the frost, never put liquids in unsealed containers into the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids
results in a more frequent need for defrosting.
Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should cool down at room temperature and then be
placed in the refrigerator to ensure adequate air circulation.
Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze to
the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the refrigerator.
Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the refrigerator, which can be
used in 1–2 days.
Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and vegetables.
Freezer compartment
The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature, long-term storage of
frozen food, and for the production of ice.
Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing hot food designated
for freezing.
Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), cut them into parts that can be used at
the same time.
Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be followed. If there is
no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for longer than three months from the date
of purchase.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a  suitable temperature and that the
packaging is not damaged.
Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be returned to the freezer
compartment as soon as possible.
If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that it was stored at the
wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, the
frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of food and the time of transporting the product
from the shop to the household. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never
exceed the maximum storage time stated on the package.
