STORING FRESH FOOD:
Proper use of the appliance,adequately
packed food,correct temperature and taking
into account hygienic precautions will
substantially influence the quality of the food
stored.
● Foods to be stored in the refrigerator
should be properly packed,to prevent
drying out and odour transference.Plastic
bags, containers with lids,foil and plastic
stretch wrap are ideal.
● Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper
and then in a polythene bag,excluding as
much air as possible.For best results take
out of the fridge an hour before eating.
● Before storing food in the refrigerator,
remove the excess packaging.
● Allow adequate air circulation around
packages,make sure that foodstuffs do not
touch each other (various odours may mix).
● Never store poisonous or dangerous
substances.Your appliance has been
designed for the storage of edible food
stuffs only.
● Beverages with high alcohol percentage
shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in a
vertical position.
● Position food to allow air to circulate freely,
ensuring nothing comes into contact with
the cooling plate at the rear of the
refrigerator.
● Foods should be cooled down before
storing.
● Quickly perishable foods should be stored
at the back ie.the coldest part of the
refrigerator.
● Try not to open the door too often.
● Wrap raw or defrosting meat and poultry
in polythene or foil and store below
cooked foods and dairy products.
● Clean out salad bins regularly and check
that nothing has dripped into them.
● Keep food for as short a time as possible
and adhere to ‘sell by’dates.
● Store fruit and vegetables in the salad bins
under the glass shelf as it provides a better
humidity level for these items.
● Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables
and wipe off any soil.
● Leave lettuce,cabbage,parsley and
cauliflower on the stem.
● If you are going away,ensure that
perishable foods are removed from the
