Food Care - Fisher & Paykel RS6121S User Manual

For best food care
Store only high-quality, fresh food in your appliance.
z
Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storing at room
z
temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmful microbial growth.
Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in
z
suitable packaging to prevent dehydration, colour deterioration, loss of flavour, and
transfer of odour.
Note: We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance
or in one of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with
other foods.
Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into
z
the appliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures.
It may also cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle
z
racks provided.
Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
z
Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that
z
show sign of spoilage.
Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside
z
your appliance.
We recommend using
z
appliance, such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food is chilled/
frozen within the shortest period of time, locking in the freshness and extending the shelf
life of your food.
Storing at temperatures other than the recommended settings may impact the storage
z
life.
For common foodstuffs, factory default setting provides the optimum setting for
z
foodcare.
Items stored in your refrigerator
Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf
z
to minimise any transfer of odour or odour absorption from other foods.
Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odours through
z
their porous shell structure.
Do not store chill sensitive items such as fruits and vegetables in a compartment when
z
it is set to Chill mode. Cold temperatures may result in damage such as chill or freezing
injury.
