Page 40: Foodcare
FOODCARE For best food care Store only high-quality, fresh food in your refrigerator. Store perishable foods in the refrigerator immediately after purchase. Storing at room temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmful microbial growth. Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in suitable packaging to prevent dehydration, colour deterioration, loss of flavour, and transfer of odour. - Page 41 FOODCARE Items stored in your freezer We recommend cooling carbonated beverages only when the BOTTLE CHILL function is active. Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer. Failure to remove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood of bottle/can explosion.
