STORING FOOD
IN
OUT
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximise the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food
storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap, bags) and
place in the vegetable crisper and fruit case.
If you store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no
effect on the operation or the performance. Use a dry cloth
to remove the dew.
Dairy Products & Eggs
Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer
•
packaging which informs the recommended temperature
and shelf life of the product.
Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.
•
Meats / Fish / Poultry
Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic
•
wrap.
For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of
•
the shelves.
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an
•
airtight container.
NOTE
Evenly place the food on the shelves
•
to allow the cooling air to circulate
efficiently.
Hot foods should be cooled before
•
storing. Storing hot foods increases the
temperature in the unit and increases
the risk of food spoilage.
Do not block the outlet and inlet of the
•
cool air circulating circuit with foods
or containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the
refrigerator.
Keep the door securely closed.
•
Do not place food directly in front of cold air
outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
For best freezing
Quality of foods should be fresh.
•
Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them
•
quickly.
Food should be properly sealed, sealed tightly or covered.
•
Evenly place the food in the freezer.
•
Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen
•
food.
