FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE
PART- 3.
Refrigerator compartment
• The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for a few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass
shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
• You can put fruit and vegetables into the crisper without packaging.
• To avoid cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door
open for a long time.
NOTE:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen food for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; the packaging should be
air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in
doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24
hours is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing Capacity).
• W hile freezing fresh foods (i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you
will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen
food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated
storage time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer
door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen food is
indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3
months.
