the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together.

When shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh,
and how long it can be kept in the
appliance. Always observe the use-by
date and the recommended storage
temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. during
transportation, should be kept to a
minimum. For example, do not allow
food to stay in a hot car for too long.
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when
shopping and on return, place food into
the appliance immediately.
