Food storage tips
Freezer
• Wash food before storing it.
• Operate the freezer for 12 hours before loading it.
• If you are loading bulk into the freezer, load one quarter at a time and allow to freeze before loading
the next quarter.
• Divide food into reasonable portions according to your requirements.
• Allow hot food to cool before putting it in the freezer.
• Seal all foods, or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration.
• Do not exceed the expiry date shown on food packs. Some foods cannot be stored for extended
periods.
Refrigerator
• Place watery foods to the front of the shelves, nearer the door and away from the cold air outlet
where they could freeze.
• Be aware that tropical fruit like bananas can easily deteriorate if the storage temperature is too low.
• Allow sufficient space between stored foods for air to circulate.
• Do not store fresh vegetables in the top crisper compartment, in the Chilled mode, as they could
freeze in the colder temperature.
Caution
• To avoid the risk of cold burn, do not touch or hold frozen foods or metal containers with wet hands.
• Do not store medicine or academic research samples which require strict temperature control in the
refrigerator.
• Remember, liquids can increase in volume when frozen. Do not store sealed bottles, jars or cans in
the freezer as the contents may freeze, expand and rupture the container.
• Never pour or spray water into the refrigerator and do not store liquids, pot plants or open containers
on top of the refrigerator as these might spill causing electrical shorting.
• Do not allow children to hang on the refrigerator doors as the unit could topple forward risking per-
sonal injury.
• Do not store or use flammable gas, benzene, petrol or volatile substances in or near the refrigerator.
• Unplug the refrigerator when cleaning, during routine maintenance or if it will not be used for an ex-
tended period.
• When discarding an old refrigerator please render the doors inoperative as children ,while playing,
might get trapped inside and suffocate.
