Arranging Food Within the Appliance

General advice

• 

We recommend that meat and clean fish are wrapped and stored in the dedicated chiller drawer.  Store 
vegetables separately in the vegetable storage drawer. This provides the best storage conditions.

• 

Make sure that items are not in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop; 
packaging will stick to it. 

• 

Do not put food in front of the air flow vents.

Storing loose fruit and vegetables

Use the vegetable crisper. 

Ensure items are not wet. Store fruit 
separately to help prevent ethylene 
-releaser fruits (*) affecting ethylene 
sensitive vegetables. For best 
conditions, use the vegetable storage 
drawer. 

Do not

 store potatoes or onions 

in the fridge.

*

Avoiding cross contamination

Storage time for all food products depends 
on the initial quality of the food and an 
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before 
refrigerator storage.

• 

Do not store meat or fish  with fruit 

and vegetables. Water leakage may 
contaminate other products. Wrap meat 
and clean any leakages on the shelves.

Reducing humidity and frost forming

Always store liquids in sealed 
containers in the refrigerator.

Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts 
of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your 
appliance will require more frequent defrosting.

•

 Place these items  in the door shelves, where 

    the temperature the is not too cold. 

A sealed container helps liquid retain its taste  and smell.

Storing raw meat, poultry and fish

Store in the  chiller drawer where the air is cooler, or the 
lowest shelf to prevent dripping onto other foods.
 

•

 Wrap meat / poultry loosely in polythene or aluminium foil.

• 

Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags.
