Fridge use
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool
to room temperature before being put into the refrigerator.
Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will
cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to
remove.
Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting
into the fridge.
Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of
moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant odors.
Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the
front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by the door being open for
prolonged periods.
Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the
foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the
temperature low and save energy.
Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce. This
will help to prevent juices from raw meat contaminating other foodstuffs.
