Storage of fresh food in the refrigerator
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in bags or stored
in airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and prevent the strong
smell of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To store raw meat wrap in polythene bags or airtight containers and place on the
lowest shelf.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store
raw meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned
and placed in the vegetable/ salad bin.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf on the
door.
Refrigerator defrost process
The refrigerator defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the
compressor stops.The defrost water drains from the cabinet into a tray placed on the
top of compressor to the rear of the unit where it evaporates.
