• TIPS FOR USE OF REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

1. Vegetables
   Potato––normal temperature preservation, please do not use cold storage (it may promote starch turn into sugar)
   Potato shall be stored separately from other foods (moisture and gas diffused from potato will speed up food rot); apple may prevent potato from sprouting when stored together.
   Onion––before peeling the onion, preserve it under normal temperature; after peeling it, put it into sealed container for cold storage.
   Radish––choose refrigerated preservation after removing soil and leaves (prevent nutrition from being absorbed by leaves).
   Garlic, fresh ginger, water chestnut, rhizome, and radish––store them at room temperature, do not choose cold storage (when room temperature is high, radish shall be firstly wrapped with paper before using cold storage).
   Cucumber––firstly wrap them with newspaper then apply cold storage. Green pepper and pepper--wash them with water and put them into sealed container or freshness protection package for storage.
   Tomato--after they get squashy at room temperature, put them into refrigerator for cold storage.
2. Fruits
   Watermelon––uncut ones shall be stored at room temperature and cut ones shall be put in sealed container or plastic bag for preservation.
   Banana and kiwi fruit--they will get mature naturally amid normal temperature preservation and cold storage will make them soft rotten. Apple will accelerate their ripening when they are stored together.
   Apple––put them in plastic bag for cold storage (ethylene gas diffused by apple may accelerate metamorphism of other foods).
   Pineapple–– use cold storage with root upward (root has the highest sugar content which may transmit downward).
   Strawberry--do not clean and do not remove stalk, directly put them into plastic bag for cold storage and eat them up within one week as far as possible. (Strawberry stalk may evaporate and take away water content, put them in water no more than 3 seconds as far as possible when cleaning them).
   Peach-preserve them at room temperature, cold storage will reduce their sweetness.
   Muskmelon and pawpaw––store them at room temperature.
3. Others
   Honey––preserve them at room temperature, do not use cold storage (low temperature will make it solidify).
   Bread––preserve them at room temperature, do not choose cold storage (water loss will make them taste hard).
   Coffee bean––preserve them at room temperature, do not choose cold storage (foreign taste will cause them change flavor).
   Salad dressing––room temperature preservation (lipolysis during cold storage will make it easier to rot).
   Olive oil––preserve at room temperature (cold storage will make it freeze into butter shape).
   Tofu––put it in salt water and keep it in cold storage.
