Refrigerator Compartment
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time will require more
frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and
should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not
open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in
the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and
will ensure the best storing conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling
compartment.
NOTE:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your
