Instructions (Cont.)
Refrigerator Usage
• The most common temperature of food stored in refrigerator is from 4°C to 8°C.
In this environment, cooked meat can not be stored for more than four days, and
fruit and vegetables should not be stores for more than one week.
• Seafood must be stored in seperate, airtight container to the rest of the fridge’s
contents. It should be stored for no more than three days.
• Raw and cooked foods need to be stored in different containers. To prevent
bacterial contamination, raw fruit and vegetables should not be exposed to raw
meat or seafood. Fruit and vegetables should be wrapped in plastic wrap (or a
reusable alternative) and stored in the crisper.
Energy saving tips
• Place the fridge in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them into the fridge.
Overloading the fridge forces the compressor to run longer.
• Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the fridge. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the fridge.
• Do not line any fridge storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, reducing cooling efficiency.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.
• Do not leave the fridge door open for longer than required.
Power failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature inside your fridge, if you minimise the number of times the door is
opened. In addition, do not put additional food in the appliance if there is a power
failure. If the power failure is known about beforehand, make alternate arrangements
to store the contents of the fridge, such as an insulated container filled with ice.
However, if the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take
proper steps to protect your food.
Going away?
• Short vacation: Leave the fridge operating during vacations of less than a month.
• Long vacation: If you are not going to use the bar fridge for longer periods, remove
all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To
prevent odour and mould growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open,
if necessary. (Restrict children’s access to the room with the open fridge to avoid
creating a child entrapment risk.)
