Correct storage
A fan provides for quick cooling of the
food and an even temperature
distribution in the fridge zone and in the
LONGFRESH 0 °C cold zone.
Foods with different perishability can
therefore be arranged on the shelves as
you like, without having to take into
account the different temperature zones
which usually occur. The arrangement (see
fig.) indicates possible ways of storing
food.
In order to check the temperature on the
shelves you can carry out the following
test yourself:
0
1. Place a cup of water in the centre of the
said shelf with a thermometer inside.
2. Leave the fridge door closed overnight
and check the temperature first thing in
the morning.
3. At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does,
you need to adjust the temperature regulator to a colder setting.
For further information on keeping food cool and safe a guide
published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is available
