SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and defrosted is an important factor
in maintaining freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead
to high electric bills!
When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a covered container. This prevents moisture from
evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutritional value.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
temperatures to rise.
T adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial. o
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted. This causes loss of taste and nutritional value.
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door
Shelf.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with
chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container .
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed
food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right
position, which keeps them fresh longer.
If you keep the refrigerator in a hot, and humid place, frequently open
its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no
effect on its performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
Don't use plastic cover. Cloth or any other item to cover your refrigerator
on sides, it will hamper performance of the refrigerator.
