STORING FOOD
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important
factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and
melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food,
and lead to higher electric bills!
• When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents
moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures
even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause
temperatures to rise.
SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
• Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it
could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air.
To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container.
• It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in
the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a
shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the
back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool
circulating in the refrigerator.
• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and
packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a
up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.
• Freezer Door Basket, marked ( ) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term storage of
frozen food (optional).
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the
door rack.
• It is recomended to load food at least 15mm against back of freezer wall, it will keep good air
circulation in the freezer compartment.
• Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position
for freezing:
