The following guidelines and recommendations are suggested to obtain the best 
results and storage hygiene. 
  1.  The fridge compartment is for the short term storage of fresh food and drinks. 
  2.  The freezer compartment is              rated and suitable for the freezing and storage 

of pre frozen food. The recommendation for              storage as stated on the food 
packaging should be observed at all times. 

  3.  Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers. 
  4.  Fresh wrapped produce can be placed on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables 

should be cleaned and stored in the crisper bins. 

  5. Bottles can be placed in the door section. 
  6. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not 

allow to come into contact with cooked food to avoid contamination. For safety, 
only store raw meat for two to three days. 

  7. Keep the food packed wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool 

before placing them in the fridge. Do not store explosive substances. High proof 
alcohol must be stored upright in sealed containers. Left over canned food should 
not be stored in the can. 

  8. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water ices 

should not be consumed too cold. 

  9. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C. 

Therefore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in 
polythene bags. 

10. Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge inner liner 

where the cold wall is located. 

11. Shelves, racks, crisper bins, drawers, flaps, bottle grippers are all removable. 
12. Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food 

is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food 
juices drip onto other food. 

13. For hygiene reasons, always wrap food using a suitable packaging material before 

storing in your appliance to avoid contact with the appliance surface.
