Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator
in airtight and moisture-proof material
unless otherwise noted. This prevents
food odor and taste transfer throughout
the refrigerator. 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 refrigerator
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.
