The Freezer Compartment - Baumatic BRCI2575 Instruction Manual

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 and will increase the energy
usage.
o Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed in
the meat drawer.
(Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two
days at the most).
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 drawer.
o Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers, or
they can be wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. They
should be stored in the general door racks. 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 shelf 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 compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o The freezer compartment 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 compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity
of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than
3 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
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.
