of the Fridge
• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should
be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put
into the refrigerator.
• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator as this is
a wet wall appliance which during normal usage will form droplets
of ice on the rear wall(ref to image Page 5). This will cause items to
freeze to the back wall.
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before
putting into the fridge.
• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help
prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant
odours.
• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be
stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by
the door being open for prolonged periods.
• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between
the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to
keep the temperature low and save energy.
