Storing Foods
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which spoils easily at low temperatures, such as bananasand
melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil
other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
• When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating,and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator
temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise.
• Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks
so that the door cannot be fully closed.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
• Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet
hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.
- That's why you may have chilblainsand they may be broken when their inner matters
are frozen, causing personal injury.
• Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct
contact with chilled air.
• Always clean food prior to refrigeration.Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always
store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
