Food storage
Fridge Compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent
formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed
containers in the fridge. Frost tends to concentrate in
the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time,
your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the fridge. Warm food should
be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be
arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the fridge
compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the
rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and
packaging will stick to it. Do not open the fridge door
frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely
wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the
vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides
the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent
ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits
(banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the fridge.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial
quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration
cycle before fridge storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat
products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from
meat may contaminate other products in the fridge. You
should package meat products and clean any leakages
on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended
expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in
the fridge. The table Table 4.1 is a quick guide to show you
the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your
fridge compartment.
