Suggestions On Food Storage - LG Refrigerator-Freezer Owner's Manual

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD
G Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and defrosted is an important
factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.
G Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and
melons.
G Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and
lead to high electric bills!
G 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 valve.
G Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures
even.
G Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
temperatures to rise.
G To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature control dial.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
G Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
G Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted. This causes loss of taste and nutritional valve.
G When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door
rack.
G Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for
freezing:
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
G 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.
G 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.
G 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.
G Door rack - Loading the food on the whole area of door rack would cause no problems in performance.
G 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.
