SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
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 electricity 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
●
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and
causes temperatures to rise.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
●
Avoid placing moist food deeply positioned on the
refrigerator shelf, it could freeze upon direct contact
with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in
a 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 air 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 COMPARTMENT
●
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break or explode 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 away from the back of freezer wall, this will allow
good air circulation in the freezer compartment.
●
