Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is the freshest possible quality.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer
food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do
not seal) and place in the Vegetable crisper or the Fruit
case. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e.g.
oranges do not require wrapping.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer
packaging which informs the recommended temperature
and shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic
wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
Vegetables Fruits
NOTE
•
Evenly place the food on
the shelves to allow
the cooling air to
circulate
efficiently.
• Hot foods should be
cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in
the unit and increases the risk of food
spoilage.
•
Do not block the outlet and inlet of the
cool air circulating circuit with foods or
containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the
refrigerator.
• Keep the door securely closed.
Do not place food directly in front of cold air
outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
For best freezing
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them
quickly.
• Food should be properly stored or covered and the air
should be removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing
food.
