the glass shelf above the salad drawers.

 
(Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two 
days at the most).

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. As 
much air as possible should be removed from the bags.

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

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

Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt 
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment, 
then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and 
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses. 

o

The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in 
regard to the maximum storage time. 

o

Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
