6. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 Fridge use

1. Never put liquids into the refrigerator
uncovered.
2. Never put hot foods into the refrigerator.
Warm food should be allowed to cool to
room temperature before being put into the
refrigerator.
3. Nothing should rest against the rear wall
of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost
which will be difficult to remove and possible
condensation problems.
4. Make sure food is clean and that any excess
water is wiped off before putting it into the
fridge.
5. Wrap or cover food before putting it into
the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of
moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant
odors.
6. Any foods to be used soon should be stored
at the front of the shelf, in order to prevent
deterioration, which could be caused when the
door is kept open for long periods of time.
7. Do not overfill the fridge. There should be
sufficient space between foods to allow cool air
to circulate.
8. Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment
will help to keep the temperature low and save
energy.
9. Never store raw meats on shelves above
cooked meats or other produce. This will
help to prevent juices from raw meat from
contaminating other foodstuffs.
NOTE
The fridge shelves can be moved within
the refrigerator compartment depending
on storage requirements. To move a shelf,
lift up the rear section and then pull it
outwards.
To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot
and then lower the rear section.

6.2 Freezer use

1. The freezer compartments are designed to
store only frozen food.
2. Never put hot or warm foods into the freezer;
allow them to cool fully before putting them
into the freezer.
3. When storing frozen food, follow the instructions
on the food packaging. If no information is
14
provided, foods should not be stored for longer
than three months after the purchase date.
4. Store food in small packages (ideally less than
1 kg). This reduces freezing time and improves
the quality of the food after thawing.
5. Wrap food before putting it into the freezer.
To stop the wrapping from sticking together,
ensure it is dry.
6. Label food before freezing, with information
including type of food and dates of storage and
expiration.
7. Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. In
order to prevent wastage, only defrost as much
food as is required.
8. Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored
in the freezer compartments, as they could
explode.
9. The maximum amount of fresh food that can be
frozen within a 24-hour period is 5.7 lb (2.6 kg).
10. Do not attempt to freeze more than the
maximum amount.
The fridge section is for short-term food storage.
Although low temperatures can be maintained, it
is not recommended to store food for extended
periods.
The temperature can vary between the different
sections as the cold air circulates within the fridge.
For this reason, foods should be stored in different
sections according to type.
1. Butter, cheeses, etc.
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Beverages, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yogurts, preserves, etc.
6. 75cl bottles,ready-made
meals, etc.
7. Fresh meat and fish
8. Fruits and vegetables
