Proper use of the appliance, adequately
packed food, correct temperature and
hygienic precautions have substantial
impact on the quality of stored food.
Always respect the best before date,
printed on the packaging.
Food to be stored in the refrigerator
should be properly packed as to prevent
absorbing of moisture and building of
odors.
Never store inammable, volatile or
explosive substances.
Beverages with high alcohol percentage
shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in
upright position.
Some organic solutions e.g: strong oils
in lemon/orange peel and acids in butter
etc. can cause damage through prolonged
contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets,
they can cause accelerated ageing of the
plastic material.
Unpleasant odour inside the refrigerator is
a sign that something is wrong with food
or that your refrigerator needs cleaning
(see chapter on Cleaning).
If you are away for a lengthy time, please
remove all perishables beforehand.
