Storing foods

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 spoils bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas
and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could
spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
When storing the 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 open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the
refrigerator and cause temperatures to rise.
Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner
racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.
Freezer
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may be broken when frozen.
compartment
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
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 the cold foods or containers made of metal, with wet hands and place
glass products in the freezer compartment.
Refrigerator
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed
compartment
and dried. 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.
NOTE
If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent openning of the door
•
or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause condensation to form which has no
effect on its performance. Remove the condensation with a paper or kitchen towel.
