Food storage tips
Food storage guidance
To help you use your Fridge efficiently, please take the time to read the following tips
and guidance.
Storage areas:
The circulation of air within your Fridge causes areas of different temperatures. It is
recommended that you make use of these areas when storing your food. The coldest area of
the Fridge compartment is at the bottom, above the vegetable drawer. We recommend that you
use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as fish, ready meals, baked goods and
dairy products. The warmest area of you Fridge is the top shelf of the door. We recommend
that you store butter and cheeses on this shelf.
Storing food:
It is best to store your food covered or packaged, to prevent it from drying out, and to
prevent smells affecting other food in your Fridge. Store fruit and vegetables loose in the
vegetable containers. Avoid storing potatoes, onions and garlic in your refrigerator.
Other tips you might find helpful are:
• Wash your food before storage.
• Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps to reduce power consumption.
• Keep as much space as possible between your items of food. This allows the cold air to
circulate freely around them.
• Take care when storing tropical fruit such as pineapples as they can quickly deteriorate in
lower temperatures.
• Divide and separate food into smaller pieces before storage.
• Cover or wrap food to prevent odours. We recommend that you store meat loosely
covered as this allows air to circulate around the meat causing the surface to dry slightly,
helping to prevent the growth of bacteria.
• Do not store food close to the lamp, or block the cover or the cooling compartment.
