Fridge storage precautions
Hot foo d s must be coo l ed to room
temperatur
e before storing in the refrigerator.
Clea
n the food and dry any droplets on it
befor
e placing in the refrigerator.
Foo
d to be stored should be properly sealed.
Thi
s will prevent moisture in the food from
evaporatin
g and prevent them from spoiling.
Sorte
d storage of food.
Foo
d to be stored should be sorted according
to their category. Food consumed daily should
be placed on the front part of the shelves. This
ca
n avoid unnecessary delays in door opening
as well as expiration of the storage period
becaus
e you forgot to eat it.
Do not store excess quantities of food.
Foo
d should be stored with spaces in between
them
. This allows cold air to flow smoothly and
therefor
e obtain better storage results.
Do not place the food too near to the inner
walls.
Do not store foods with high moisture content
clingin
g to the inner walls. Otherwise they may
freez
e to the walls. Place food a little away
fro
m the inner walls.
Avoidi ng food (espec ially oil food ) contac t with the inner liner directly, as oil can
erod
e the inner liner. So it's better to clean the oily dirt whene ver it is found.
Note
17
Tips on food storage in the fridge storage compartment
For turnip radish and other similar
vegetables
, please cut off their leaves
befor
e storage so as to prevent the
nutritio
n from being absorbed by the
leaves.
Defreez
e frozen food in the fridge storage
compartment
. In this way you can use the
froze
n food to decrease the temperature in
th
e compartment and save energy.
Som
e vegetables, for example, onion,
garlic
, ginger, water chestnut, and other
rhizomati
c foods, can be stored for long
period
s at normal temperature. There is no
nee
d to store them in the refrigerator.
Th
e metabolism of vegetable marrow,
melons
, pawpaw, banana, pineapple can
be quickened in the refrigerator, so it is not
suitabl
e to store them in the fridge storage
compartment
. But storing green fruits in
th
e refrigerator for certain periods can
promot
e its maturing.
18
Freezer storage precautions
Hot food should not be stored in the
refrigerato
r until it has cooled down to
roo
m temperature
Foo
d cut into small portions will freeze
faste
r and be easier to defrost and cook.
Th
e recommended weight for each portion
is less than 2.5kg.
It'
s better to pack food before putting it in
th
e freezer. The outside of the packing
mus
t be dry to avoid bags sticking together.
Packin
g materials should be odor-free,
airtight
, non-poisonous and nontoxic.
In order to avoid expiration of storage
period
, please note the freezing date, time
limi
t and name of the food on the packing
accordin
g to the storage periods of
di
fferent foods.
Onl
y take the required amount of food
fro
m the freezer. Defrosted food cannot be
re-froze
n u nless i t is first cooked,
otherwis
e it may be less edible.
Do not load excessive quantities of fresh
foo
d in the freezer. It is better to refer to
th
e cooling capacity of the refrigerator.
