OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
Storage of food in the fridge
Observe the following recommen-
dations to ensure the food remains
fresh.
l
The products should be placed on plates
in containers or packed in food wrap.
Distribute them evenly all over the she-
lves.
l
Pay attention whether the food contacts
the rear wall, if so, it may cause frosting or
wetting of the products.
l
Do not put dishes with hot content into
the fridge.
l
Products which take over foreign flavours
easily such as butter, milk, white cheese and
products with intense flavour, such as fish,
smoked meat, hard cheese must be placed
on shelves, packed in food wrap or in tightly
sealed containers.
l
Storage of vegetables containing signifi
-
cant quantity of water will cause the de-
position of water steam on the vegetable
containers, it does not impact the proper
functioning of the fridge.
l
Before putting the vegetables into the frid-
ge, dry them well.
l
Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life
of vegetables, especially the leafed vege-
tables.
l
Do not wash the vegetables before storing
in the refrigerator. Washing removes the
natural protection, therefore it is better to
wash the vegetables directly before con-
sumption.
l
Bear in mind that the temperature in
the fridge is affected by several factors,
including the ambient temperature and
the quantities of food products in the
chamber, frequency of opening the door,
amount of frost and the thermostat set-
ting.
l
If you cannot open the fridge door imme-
diately after closing it, allow 1-2 minutes
for negative pressure to compensate,
and retry opening the door.
