air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Do not store excessive or overweight foods, to avoid the
shelf from being crushed. When storing the foods, keep a distance away from the inner wall; and do not place the
water-rich foods too close to the fridge rear wall, lest they get frozen on the inner wall.
Categorized storage of foods
:
Foods should be stored by category, with the foods you eat every day placed in front of the
shelf, so that the door open duration can be shortened and food spoilage due to expiration can be avoid.
Energy-saving tips: Allow the hot food cool down to the room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Put the
frozen food in the fresh food compartment to thaw, using the low temperature of the frozen food to cool the fresh food,
thus saving energy.
Storage of fruits and vegetables
In the case of refrigerating appliances with chill compartment, a statement to the effect that some types of fresh
vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore are not suitable for storage in this kind of compartment should be
made.
Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below -18
℃
, and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the
freezer compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into
small pieces and packed into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.
★
Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
★
Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid
burst due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
★
Divide the food into appropriately small portions
★
You’d better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are
frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air
and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1.When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item
of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best to use them before×”,
found on the front of the packaging.
2.Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3.Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4.Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5.Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6.Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most
supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7.For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or
steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8.Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less than for
them to freeze up and thaw.
9.Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature
control knob to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the
food freshness well kept.
