Storing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequate packed food, correct temperature and taking into
account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the food stored.
Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed so as to prevent mixing
various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminum foil, was
paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles).
Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove excessive packaging (like yogurt in
multi-package).
Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odors
may mix). Assure adequate air circulation around packages.
Never store flammable, volatile or explosive substances.
Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical
position.
Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator.
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
Try not to open the door too often,
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange peel, acid in butter etc. can
cause damage when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for long periods of time.
Unpleasant odors inside the refrigerator are a sign that something is wrong with foods or
that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odors can be eliminated or reduced by
washing the interior of the refrigerator with mild solution of water and vinegar. We also
recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.
If you are planning a long journey, make sure to remove perishable articles of food out of
the appliance before you leave.
