Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable foods.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a
plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed in
the fruit and vegetable crisper to minimise moisture loss.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have their best-before date on
the outer packaging which informs the recommended
temperature and shelf life of the foods.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or a dish and cover with paper or
plastic wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
* Notes for fresh food:
- Fresh food (securely wrapped) should be stored in
limited time to prevent spoilage and badly affecting
other stored foods.
For best freezing
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time in order to
freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly sealed or covered tightly.
• Place foods in the freezer evenly.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of
freezing food.

Advice for preventing dew or frost
inside the refrigerator
• Keep the door securely closed. If the food falls down,
it may cause a gap between the cabinet and the door.
Move it back to the shelf or the pocket.
• Food with high-moisture should be stored in an airtight
container or sealed tightly.
Note
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling
air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing
hot foods increases the
temperature in the unit and
the risk of food spoilage.
• Opening the door for long
periods can cause a significant
increase of the temperature
in the compartments of the
appliance.
• Do not block the outlet and
inlet of the cool air circulating
circuit with foods or containers;
otherwise the food will not be
evenly cooled throughout the
refrigerator.
