7. Storage Areas
About your Freezer Compartment
As with the refrigerator, certain areas of the freezer are better
for storage of certain foods.
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear of
the appliance where it is coldest.
Large / heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for
roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the
shelves – this is to prevent damage to the appliance.
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable
for freezing, and that you have stored it securely inside the
appliance.
Defrosting food for cooking
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be
affected by defrosting.
Always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. This
is especially important for poultry, as this can be
extremely harmful to health.
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging
when defrosting ready meals – manufacturers’
guidelines are always best, as some frozen foods should
be cooked from frozen.
About your Refrigeration Compartment
Temperature differences exist inside the refrigerator so it
is sensible to store different foods in different areas of the
appliance.
1. Eggs, butter and cheeses. (Dairy compartment with
cover)
2. Smaller bottles, cans, jars, packages.
3. Large bottles, soft drinks, water, wine etc.
4. Any fresh produce – store carefully to avoid cross
contamination.
5. Salad / vegetable drawer
6. Fresh, uncooked meats – store carefully to avoid cross
contamination and spillages.
Crisper compartment
To keep fruit and vegetables crisp and fresh, this appliance
has a crisper compartment with adjustable humidity.
High humidity will keep foods such as grapes, cucumbers,
kiwi etc. fresh and crisp – this is achieved by opening fewer
holes in the moisture control.
Lower humidity is ideal for storing foods such as strawberries,
melons, tomatoes and beans. Opening more holes in the
moisture control will lower the humidity accordingly.
Always make sure that the front edge of the crisper
compartment is underneath the crisper cover. When
removing the crisper, remove the compartment first before
the cover.
To remove the cover of the crisper (for cleaning etc.) remove
the drawer first. Lift the food shelf in an upward direction at
the rear (1) and pull it towards you (2). Then turn the shelf into
position (3). You must have the appliance door open by 90°.
