STORING FOOD IN THE 

REFRIGERATOR 

IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE

i

Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, 

maintaining the right temperature, and observing the food 

hygiene standards have a decisive impact on the quality 

of food storage.

Observe the expiry dates for the food, indicated on the 

packaging.

Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed 

containers or in appropriate packaging to prevent it from 

emitting or receiving odours and humidity.

Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive 

substances in the refrigerator.

Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed 

and stored in an upright position.

Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange 

peel, butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces 

in case of a prolonged contact, causing damage and 

premature ageing of these materials.

Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the 

appliance or perished contents (see chapter Cleaning the 

Appliance).

If you are leaving home for a longer period of time, 

remove perishables from the refrigerator.
