perishable foods.Fresh food care for best results:
•Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality
.

ed. This will
prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will
help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer. Vegetables and fruit
need not be wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the
fridge compartment.

nd stored

ainted by
strong odours.

ment.
