SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor
in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and lead to higher electric bills!
When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This deteriorates taste and nutrition.
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
Avoid storing any food close to the bottom area of the freezer shelf to keep efficient air circulation.
●It is recomended to load food at least 15mm against back of freezer wall, it will keep good air circulation in the freezer compartment.
●Freezer Door Basket, marked (
) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term storage of frozen food (optional).
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh. Always store them in a upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
