Food storage and energy efficiency
The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the
configuration of the drawers and shelves in their
default positions, with foodstuffs evenly distributed
throughout.
• Well ventilated, lower ambient temperatures are
ideal conditions for energy saving. In very low
ambient temperatures (Never less than 5°C) the
internal temperatures should be checked with a
thermometer and the temperature adjusted as
necessary.
• Ensure the time between buying chilled food and
placing them in the appliance is kept to a minimum,
particularly in summer. We recommend you use a
cool bag to carry chilled food.
•
Do not
leave the door of the appliance open longer
than is necessary and ensure it is closed properly
after each opening.
Do - Clean the larder fridge regularly,
see cleaning and care.

and wipe off any soil.
Do
- Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower
on the stem.
Do - Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and
then in a polythene bag excluding as much air
as possible. For best results take out of the fridge
compartment an hour before eating.
Do
- Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene
or aluminium foil. This prevents drying.

dry out in polythene bags, aluminium foil or place
in an airtight container.

- Keep food for as short a time as possible and
adhere to ‘Best Before’, ‘Use By’, dates.
Don’t - Store bananas in the larder fridge
compartment.
Don’t - Store melon in the larder fridge. It can be
chilled for short periods as long as it is
wrapped to avoid it flavouring other foods.
Don’t - Consume food which has been stored for an
excessive time in the fridge.
Don’t - Store cooked and fresh food together in the
same container. They should be packaged
and stored separately.
Don’t - Let defrosted food or food juices drip onto
other food.
Don’t - Leave the door open for long periods as this
will make the appliance more costly to run and
cause excessive ice build-up.
Don’t - Put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool
down first.
Don’t - Store poisonous or any dangerous substances
in the larder fridge. It has been designed for
the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
