Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the fridge in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted.
This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the fridge. For dated products, check
use by dates to ensure freshness.
Food How to
Butter or
Margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered
dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply,
wrap in freezer packaging and
freeze.
Cheese Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it. Once
opened, rewrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk Wipe milk cartons. For best
storage, place milk on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or prepare fruit
until it is ready to be used. Sort
and keep fruit in its original
container, in a crisper, or store in
a completely closed paper bag on
a fridge shelf.
Leafy
Vegetables Remove store wrapping and trim
or tear off bruised and discolored
areas. Wash in cold water and
drain. Place in plastic bag or
plastic container and store in
crisper.
Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Fish
Store fresh fish and shellfish in
the freezer section if they are not
being consumed the same day of
purchase. It is recommended to
consume fresh fish and shellfish
the same day purchased.
Leftovers Cover leftovers with plastic
wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic
containers with tight lids.
Storing Frozen Food
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity
of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the
freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more
than 1 to 1.5kg. of food per cubic foot of freezer
space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air
to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave
enough room at the front so the door can close
tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the
storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed
package are normal. This simply means that
moisture in the food and air inside the package
have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE
Check a freezer food guide or a reliable
cookbook for further information about preparing
food for freezing or food storage times.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
NOTE
Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any
kind as they can explode or shatter.
