Hints for storage
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover
or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material,
such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may
obstruct air circulation through them.
Below is the recommended storage positions for
various food types:
1. Ready cooked foods, convenience foods, fresh
meat, cold cuts
2. Milk, dairy products
3. Fruit, vegetables and salads
4. Cheese and butter
5. Eggs
6. Yoghurt and sour cream
7. Small bottles, soft drinks
8. Large bottles, drinks
The following tips should help you to ensure that the
food in your home is in as perfect condition as
possible.
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22 °C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get down to 7 °C in the refrigerator.
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can be placed
in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be
separate containers. Take care not to let the
meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat
does drip, remove everything and clean
thoroughly.
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean the interior (see Maintenance &
Cleaning).
Never allow spills to dry and harden.
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or
chipped eggs.
Regularly check the door seal to ensure that it is
free from debris.
Always wash your hands in soapy water and dry
them with a clean towel before handling food.
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them
thoroughly in between.
