Fridge Use
•
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
•
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be
allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into the
refrigerator.
•
Nothing should obstruct the air inlets in the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation
problems which will be difficult to remove.
•
Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before
putting into the fridge.
•
Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help
prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant
odours.
•
Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be
stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by
the door being open for prolonged periods.
•
Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between
the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
•
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep
the temperature low and save energy.
•
Only open the door for as long as is necessary. Leaving the
door open for long periods will affect the temperature inside the
appliance and waste energy.
•
Ensure all compartments are fully closed after use.
