Hints for fresh food refrigeration
•
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase
resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
•
Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
•
Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigerator
•
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
•
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
•
Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the special drawer provided.
•
Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.
•
Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks.
Hints for freezing
•
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings
before putting food in the compartment.
•
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to
subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
•
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
•
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the
latter.
•
Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause
frost burns to the skin.
•
It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
•
Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
•
Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
