Notes on refrigeration
Let warm foods and drinks cool down to room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator compartment.
Pack and seal foods before storing them. This prevents drying and odour dissipation.
Wash and dry off fresh foods before storing them.
Pack the food into portions suitable for your household. Place the foods that will be consumed the soonest towards the front so as not to leave the appliance door open longer than necessary.
Tips on refrigeration
Remove the leaves of root vegetables to prevent them from absorbing the nutrients.
Items not requiring refrigeration: Onions, peppers, garlic, ginger.
Thawing frozen foods inside the refrigerator helps conserve energy.
Items not suitable for refrigeration: Gourds, melons, bananas, pineapple. Refrigeration promotes their decomposition. Do refrigerate unripe fruits.
Do not overstock the refrigerator. Be sure to leave space between foods and between the foods and the interior compartment walls.
Caution: Do not use the egg tray as an ice cube tray and never place it in the freezer or Superfrost area to prevent it from cracking.
