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.
• 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.
• Especially pay attention not to mix the
foods sold as frozen with the fresh
foods.
• 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.
• If you notice that a food has spoiled in
the refrigerator, throw away that food and
clean the accessories which have come
into contact with it.
• In order to cool the meals like soups and
stews, which are cooked in the large
pots, quickly, you can put them in the re-
frigerator by separating them into their
own shallow containers.
• Do not place unpackaged food close to
eggs.
• Keep the fruits and vegetables separately
and store each variety together (for ex-
ample; apples with apples, carrots with
carrots).
• Take green vegetables out of the plastic
bag and place them in the refrigerator
after wrapping them in a paper towel or
drying cloth. If you wash this type of food
before placing them in the refrigerator, re-
member to dry them.
• You can both create a damp environment
and provide an air flow by keeping fruits
and vegetables, which are prone to dry-
ing, in the perforated or unsealed plastic
bags.
• Except the cases where extreme circum-
stances are available in the environment,
if your product (on the recommended set
values table) is set to the specified set
values, the food keep their freshness for
a longer time both in the fresh product
compartment and freezer compartment.
