STORING FOOD

important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
●
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples,

SUGGESTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE
food, and lead to higher electric bills.
When storing food, cover it with plastic 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 open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and
causes temperatures to rise.
Opening the door for long periods can cause a signicant rise in the temperature inside the
appliance.
If the refrigerator will not be in use for a long period, switch it off and allow it to defrost. Clean
the interior and allow it to dry. Prop the door open to prevent mold from growing inside the
appliance.
Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct
contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in a covered container.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and patted dry,
and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them
in an upright position to keep them fresh longer.
Store raw meat and sh in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that they are not in contact
with or can drip onto other food.

The freezer compartment is designed for making ice and for short-term storage of already
frozen food. The temperature in the compartment may not get cold enough to freeze fresh
food or to store foods such as ice cream safely.
Only set the temperature control between COLDEST and OVER FREEZING if you want to quick
freeze foods. When quick freezing is nished, set the control back to the COLDER position.
Leaving the control set between COLDEST and OVER FREEZING for a long time can freeze
items in the fresh food compartment.
