2. USE

2.1 Using the fridge

> Never put liquids into the refrigerator uncovered.
> Never put hot foods into the refrigerator. Warm
food should be allowed to cool to room temperature
before being put into the refrigerator.
> Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this will cause the formation of
frost, which will be difficult to remove, and possible
condensation problems.
> Make sure food is clean and that any excess water
is wiped off before putting it into the fridge.
> Wrap or cover food before putting it into the
fridge. This will help impede the loss of moisture,
keep food fresh and prevent unpleasant odours.
> Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used
soon should be stored at the front of the shelves.
This will help to prevent deterioration, which could
occur when the door is kept open for long periods
of time.
> Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient
space between foods to allow cool air to circulate.
> Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment
will help to keep the temperature low and save
energy.
> Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked
meats or produce. This will help to prevent juices
from raw meat from contaminating other foodstuffs.

2.2 Using the freezer

> The freezer compartments are designed to store
frozen food only.
> Never put hot or warm foods into the freezer;
allow them to cool fully before putting them into the
freezer.
> When storing frozen food, follow the instructions
on the food packaging. If no information is provided,
foods should not be stored for longer than three
months after the purchase date.
> Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1
kg). This reduces freezing time and improves the
quality of the food after thawing.
> Wrap food before putting it into the freezer. To
stop the wrapping from sticking together, ensure it
is dry.
> Label food before freezing, with information
including type of food and dates of storage and
expiration.
> Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. In
order to prevent wastage, only defrost as much
food as is required.
6
> Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in
the freezer compartments, as they could explode.
> The maximum amount of fresh food that can be
frozen within a 24-hour period is 2.6 kg.
> Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum
amount.

2.3 Chiller Zone drawer

> The temperature inside the chiller drawer can be
regulated within a range of between +3°C and -3°C.
This is the ideal drawer for storing meat and fish.
