Storing food
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable food.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a
plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed
in the vegetable crisper to minimize moisture loss.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have their best-before date on
the outer packaging which informs the recommended
temperature and shelf life of the food.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.
Meat / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or a dish and cover with paper or
plastic wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
* Notes for fresh food:
- Fresh food (securely wrapped) should be stored in
limited time to prevent spoilage and badly affecting
other stored foods.
For best freezing
• Quality of food should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time in order to
freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly sealed or covered tightly.
• Place food in the freezer evenly.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of
freezing food.
Advice for preventing dew or frost
inside the refrigerator
• Make sure to put the food on the shelf or in the pocket.
If the food falls down, the door is not closed securely.
• Food with high-moisture should be stored in airtight
container or sealed tightly.
Note
• Place the food evenly on the shelves to allow the cooling
air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot food should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
food increases the temperature in the unit and the risk
of food spoilage.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant
increase of the temperature in the compartments of the
appliance.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating
circuit with food or containers; otherwise the food can
not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
IN
OUT
Do not place food directly in
front of cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food
freezing.
