4 FOOD STORAGE

4.1 Refrigerator Compartment

• To reduce humidity and avoid the
consequent formation of frost, always
store liquids in sealed containers in
the refrigerator. Frost tends to con-
centrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporating liquid and, in time, your
appliance will require more frequent
defrosting.
• Cooked dishes must remain covered
when they are kept in the fridge. Do
not place warm foods in fridge. Place
them when they are cool, otherwise
the temperature/humidity inside the
fridge will increases, reducing the
fridge's efficiency.
• Make sure no items are in direct con-
tact with the rear wall of the appliance
as frost will develop and packaging
will stick to it. Do not open the
refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean
fish are loosely wrapped and stored on
the glass shelf just above the vegeta-
ble bin where the air is cooler, as this
provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items
in the crisper containers.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separa-
tely helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethy-
lene-releaser fruits (banana, peach,
apricot, fig etc.).
Do not put wet vegetables into the
•
refrigerator.
Storage time for all food products
•
depends on the initial quality of the
food and an uninterrupted refrige-
ration cycle before refrigerator sto-
rage.
Water leaking from meat may
•
contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. 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.
Do not allow food to come into contact
with the temperature sensor, which is
located in the refrigerator compartment,
in order to keep the refrigerator com-
partment at optimum temperature.
• For normal working conditions, it will
be sufficient to adjust the tempe-
rature setting of your refrigerator to
+4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge com-
partment should be in the range of
1-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced
and rotted, bacterial load increases
above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigera-
tor immediately, wait for the tem-
perature to pass outside. Hot foods
increase the degree of your refrige-
rator and cause food poisoning and
unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the
chiller compartment of the food, and
the vegetable
preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat
products and fruit vegetables are not
stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refri-
gerator in closed containers or cove-
red to prevent moisture and odors. The
table below is a quick guide to
show you the most efficient way to
store the major food groups in your
refrigerator compartment.
