Storing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed
food, correct temperature and taking into account
hygienic precautions will substantially influence
the quality of the food stored.
•
Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be
properly packed as to prevent mixing various
moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene
bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or
stored in covered containers or bottles).
•
Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove
the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-
package).
•
Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air
circulation around packages.
•
Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive
substances.
•
Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall
be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical
position.
•
Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
•
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
•
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in
the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
•
Try not to open the door too often.
•
Set the thermostat to the setting where lowest
temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat
gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods.
Use a thermometer and measure the
temperature in the individual compartments.
Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with
water. Temperature readings are most reliable
few hour after steady state is reached.
•
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in
lemon and orange peel, acid in butter etc. can
cause damages when in contact with plastic
surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time.
•
Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign
that something is wrong with foods or that your
refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor
can be eliminated or reduced by washing the
interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of
water and vinegar. We also recommend using
activated carbon filters to clean the air or to
neutralize odors.
•
If you plan a longer journey, make sure to
remove quickly perishable articles of food out of
the appliance before you leave.

Freezing Fresh Foods
•
Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it
should be of adequate quality and suitable for
freezing.
•
Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
−
The packaging should be air tight and
shouldn't leak since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of
foods.
−
Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the foods.
