ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Fridge compartment
• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in
unsealed containers in the fridge compartment. Frost tends to concentrate in the
coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and in time will more frequent defrosting will be
required.
• Never place warm food in the fridge compartment. Warm food should be allowed to
cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation
in the fridge compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and
packaging to stick to it. Do not open the fridge door too frequently.
• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you
intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the fridge compartment.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of
your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh
foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass
outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning
and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable
compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored
together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent
moisture and odors.
Freezer compartment
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be frozen
is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will use
in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods.
• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored
for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality
of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possible time.
