Food Storage; Storing Food - LG Refrigerator-Freezer Owner's Manual

Storing Food

Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment.
Do not store food which becomes unusable easily at low temperatures, such as bananas,
and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil
other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
Please keep food at a distance of at least 15 mm from the air vents.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps
refrigerator temperatures even.
To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature
control dial.
Freezer
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they may break when frozen.
compartment
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf or in utility box, not in the door basket.
Refrigerator
Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct
contact with chilled air.
compartment
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always
store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
NOTE
If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, and frequently open the door or
•
put a lot of vegetables in it, moisture may form in it which has no effect on its
performance. Just wipe the moisture with a clean cloth.
