If you need additional space to store your vegetables, the following fruits and garden produce can
be kept on the higher shelves as they are more cold-resistant: artichoke, broccoli, peas, spinach,
cabbage, leek, turnip, spring onions, and parsley. To prevent them from drying out and their aromas
from mixing put them in plastic bags.
The following fruits and garden produce should be stored in
the crisper due to their delicate nature:
Asparagus, blackberries, mushrooms, strawberries, figs, and grapes.
To protect them further we recommend you keep them in the Veggie
Balcony, which comes with certain models. This has been designed to
ensure that delicate foods are not bruised and that those little odds
and ends don’t get lost and go off, which could affect the rest of your
food.
Don’t keep garlic in the refrigerator as the cold and darkness promote germination.
With other models it is recommended that you keep milk near an airway. However, with our air flow
system you can store it on the refrigerator door shelves as the air is distributed evenly throughout.
Sodas and beers keep perfectly on the upper door shelves, where they are easily accessible and exposed to
the cold quickly and directly.
When putting in and taking out food and drink try not to leave the door open too long. This will reduce
your refrigerator’s energy consumption and make it more efficient.
When freezing food, prepare small portions and place them in such a way that the air in the freezer can
circulate around them. This will make freezing time faster and ensure you use the entire portion.
Always take heed of use-by dates on frozen food as indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not place sealed glass containers which have any liquids inside in the freezer, as these could break and
cause an accident.
Products such as sorbet or pieces of ice should not be consumed at too cold temperature.
When putting a food item into the freezer try to avoid putting it on top of or too close to an item that is
already frozen.
