22
Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging,
maintaining the right temperature, and observing the food
hygiene standards have a decisive impact on the quality
of food storage.
Observe the expiry dates for the food, indicated on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or in appropriate packaging to prevent it from
emitting or receiving odours and humidity.
Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive
substances in the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed
and stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange
peel, butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces
in case of a prolonged contact, causing damage and
premature ageing of these materials.
Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the
appliance or perished contents (see chapter Cleaning the
Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time,
remove perishables from the refrigerator.
