For best food care
Store only high-quality, fresh food in your refrigerator.
z
Store perishable foods in the refrigerator 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.
We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator or in one of
z
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 refrigerator. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures. Hot
items may also cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves.
z
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 refrigerator.
We recommend using
z
such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food is frozen within the
shortest period of time, locking in the freshness and extending the shelf life of your food.
For storage of general household foods in the most efficient manner, it is recommended
z
to use the product in the factory configuration supplied. Moving the shelves and bins will
have a minimal impact on efficiency.
Storing at temperatures other than settings recommended may impact the storage life.
z
Items stored in your refrigerator
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
z
when it is set to Chill mode. Cold temperatures may result in damage such as chill or
freezing injury.
Items stored in your freezer
We recommend cooling carbonated beverages only when the
z
function is active.
Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer.
z
Failure to remove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood
of bottle/can explosion.
Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and
z
prevent freezer burn.
Defrosting food repeatedly is not recommended. Frozen foods that will be used
z
regularly should be stored in smaller quantities.
Do not store foods to be frozen in contact with food for storage. If defrosting
z
frozen food in the refrigerator compartment ensure frozen items are not in contact
with fresh foods.
