FOOD CARE
z
Store only high-quality, fresh food in your appliance.
z
Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storing at room
temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmful microbial growth.
z
Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in
suitable packaging to prevent dehydration, colour deterioration, loss of flavour, and
transfer of odour.
Note: We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance
or in one of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with
other foods.
z
Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into
the appliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures.
It may also cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.
z
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle
racks provided.
z
Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
z
Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that
show sign of spoilage.
z
Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside
your appliance.
z
We recommend using
MAX COLD
when you are adding food items to your appliance, such
as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food is chilled/frozen within the
shortest period of time, locking in the freshness and extending the shelf life of your food.
z
A refrigerator will keep food safe for up to 4 hours during a power outage. Keep the
door closed as much as possible. Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers after 4 hours without power.
z
Storing at temperatures other than settings recommended may impact the storage life.
z
For common foodstuffs, factory default setting provides the optimum setting for
foodcare.
Items stored in your refrigerator
z
Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf
to minimize any transfer of odour or odour absorption from other foods.
z
Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odours through
their porous shell structure.
z
Do not store chill sensitive items such as fruits and vegetables in a compartment when
it is set to Chill mode. Cold temperatures may result in damage such as chill or freezing
injury.
