7.2 Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment

Storing Food in the Cooler Compart-
ment
• Compartment temperatures rise promin-
ently if compartment door is opened and
closed frequently and kept open for a
long time, this can reduce the life span of
the food and cause the food to spoil.
• In order not to cause odour and taste
changes, the food should be stored in the
closed containers.
• Do not store too much food in your refri-
gerator. To achieve a better and homo-
geneous cooling, place the food separ-
ately in a way that cold air can wander
through them.
• Provide air flow by leaving a space
between the food and internal wall. If you
lean the food against the rear wall, the
food may freeze.
Please note that there will be different tem-
peratures in the cooling area.
The coldest zone is just above the crisper.
The interior temperature also depends on
the ambient temperature, how often the
door is opened, and the amount of food
stored in the refrigerator.
Frequent opening of the door causes the in-
ternal temperature to rise.
It is therefore recommended that you close
the door as soon as possible after opening
it for any reason.
The internal temperature of your refriger-
ator can change due to the following reas-
ons:
• Seasonal temperatures;
• Opening the door frequently and leaving
it open for a long time;
• Placing foods in the refrigerator without
waiting for them to reach room temperat-
ure;
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposure to sunlight).
You can adjust the varying internal temper-
ature due to such reasons using the ther-
mostat.
• Bring cooked hot meals to the room tem-
perature before placing them in the refri-
gerator. Then, you can place the tepid
meal in the lower shelves of your refriger-
ator. Do not place the tepid meals close
to the foods which may easily spoil.
• Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food
compartment. Thereby, you can cool
fresh food compartment by using frozen
food and save energy.
• Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango,
melon varieties, papaya, banana, pine-
apple) in the refrigerator may speed up
the ripening process. This is not recom-
mended because it will cause shorter
storage time.
• You should store onions, garlics, gingers
and other root vegetables in dark and
cold room conditions, not in the refriger-
ator.
