Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near Freezing. Therefore wrap
pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags. Leftover
canned food should not be stored in the fridge, transfer it to an airtight container.
Alcohol must be stored upright in tightly closed containers. Never store products that contain
an inflammable propellant gas (spray cans, etc.) or explosive substances. These are an
explosion hazard.

Tips for keeping food fresh in the larder fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish.
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer.
Keep raw meats on a plate large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around the food
This will allow cold air to circulate around the larder fridge.
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.
Let pre-cooked food cool properly
Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put it in the larder fridge. This will stop the
internal temperature of the larder fridge from rising.
