STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The fridge freezer compartment helps to extend the storage time of
fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care
For best results:
 Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality. Ensure that
food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will
prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or
losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also
prevent odour transfer. Vegetables and fruit need not be
wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the
fridge.
 Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered
and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream
which can be tainted by strong odours.
 Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.
Dairy foods and eggs

Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended 'use by
/best before/best by/ date stamped on them. Store them in
the fridge and use within the recommended time.
 Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is
best stored in a sealed container.
 Eggs should be stored in the fridge.
Red meat
 Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed
paper, plastic wrap or foil.
 Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will
prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating
the cooked
