Use
Storing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed
food, correct temperature and taking into
account hygienic precautions will substantially
influence the quality of the food stored.
•
Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should
be properly packed as to prevent mixing
various moisture degrees and odors (in
polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil,
wax paper, or stored in covered containers or
bottles).
•
Before storing food in the refrigerator,
remove the excessive packaging (like
yoghurt in multi-package).
•
Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air
circulation around packages.
•
Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive
substances.
•
Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall
be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical
position.
•
Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
•
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in
lemon and orange peel, acid in butter etc.
can cause damages when in contact with
plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period
of time.
•
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
•
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in
the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
•
Try not to open the door too often.
•
Set the thermostat to the setting where lower
temperatures are reached. Set the
thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of
the foods. Use a thermometer and measure
the temperature in the individual
compartments. Place the thermostat in a
glass vessel filled with water. Temperature
readings are most reliable few hour after
steady state is reached.
•
Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a
sign that something is wrong with foods or
that your refrigerator needs cleaning.
Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or
reduced by washing the interior of the
refrigerator with a mild solution of water and
vinegar. We also recommend using activated
carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize
odors.
•
If you plan a longer journey, make sure to
remove quickly perishable articles of food out
of the appliance before you leave.
