Storing Food
Caution
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
•
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in
•
the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to
higher electric bills.
When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
•
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
•
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets
•
warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
•
stop the door from fully closing.
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
•
may break when frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes
•
loss of taste and nutrition.
Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific
•
materials or other temperature sensitive products in the
refrigerator.
Products that require strict temperature controls must
not be stored in the refrigerator.
