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.
o Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on the
glass shelf above the salad crisper drawers.
o Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed on
any shelf.
o Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed in
the salad crisper drawes.
o Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. As much air as
possible should be removed from the bags.
o Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle rack that sits in the door.
o Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be stored
in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight containers.
The **** freezer section
The freezer section is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o The freezer section temperature must have already reached -18
degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food that
is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o The freezer section is only able to freeze a certain quantity of fresh
food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food that can be
frozen in a 24 hour period is 12 kg.
o Preferably the top drawer should be used when freezing fresh food.
Once the food is frozen, you can then transfer the food to the lower
drawers.
o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to
freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer section, then the
increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and increase the
amount of power that the appliance uses.
