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
refrigerator before you leave.
