Arranging And Storing Food In The Fridge Section - Baumatic RETRO2 Instruction Manual

o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the fridge freezer and how often the
door is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o On the maximum setting (position <5>), your fridge freezer will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature. There is no need
to run your appliance on this setting for prolonged periods.
Unless you are freezing fresh food, you should have the
thermostat knob set to <3>
o IMPORTANT: Do not run the thermostat at position 5 for
prolonged periods of time, otherwise the defrost drainage hole
may freeze.

Arranging and storing food in the fridge section

o Warm food or evaporating liquids should not be stored in your
refrigerator, as this will increase the humidity inside of the
appliance.
o All foods should be wrapped or covered, this is particularly
important if the food has a strong flavour. You should use
polythene bags or sheets, aluminium foil, wax paper. Liquids
should be stored in covered containers or bottles.
o To maximise the space inside of the fridge section, any excessive
packaging on the food should be removed.
o Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the
refrigerator, which is the coldest part of the appliance.
o No food items should be allowed to come into contact with the
back wall of the refrigerator.
o Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can
close completely. Particular attention should be given to bottles
that may protrude when placed on shelves inside the main
section of the refrigerator.
o Some organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange peel
and acid in butter, can cause damage to the plastic parts
contained inside of the refrigerator.
o Do not open the refrigerator door too often or leave the door
open for long periods of time, as this will increase the
temperature inside of the appliance.
