Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered.
Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the
internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When
retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.
