STORING THE FOOD
Fridge compartment
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on
the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you
will use in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.

making ice cubes.

is in contact with the cooling surface.

• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will
use in one time.

consume them in as short period of time.
