The fridge compartment is for the short term storage of fresh food and drinks.
Dairy products should be stored in the special compartment provided in the door liner.
Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight containers.
Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned
and stored in the crisper drawer.

To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow it to
