SUGGESTIONS ON
FOOD STORAGE
Sto_i_°_gFood
=' Store fresh food in the refrigerator
compartment. How food is frozen and
defrosted is an important factor in
maintaining freshness and flavor
I Do not stere food which spoils easily at low
temperatures, such as bananas, pineappies,
and melons
I Allow hot food to cool pdor to storing. Placing
hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other
food, and lead to tligh e_ectricity bills!
i When stodng, wrap food in vinyl, or place in
a covered container. This prevents moisture
from evaporating, and helps food to keep its
taste and nutritional va_ue.
•, Do not block air vents with food Smooth
circulation of chilled air keeps the refrigerator
temperature even.
m Do not open tile door frequently Opening the
door lets w_m air enter the refrigerator,
causing temperature to rise=
m To adjust the temperature control easity do
not store food near the temperature contro_
dial
R_ _ _ 4 4
,_fr_ge_ato_ Cempadment
aAvoid placing moist food on deep interior
refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon
direct contac:t with chilled air. To avoid this
is belier to store food in a covered container.
,, Always dean food pnor to refrigeration.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed food should be wiped
cleam to prevent other food from spoiling.
"if you keep the refrigerator in a hot and
humid pFace, frequently opening the door
or putting a lot of vegetables in it may
cause dew to form. This has no effect on
_s performance. Remove the dew with a
dry, dust-free cloth.
mtfdroplets form beneath the cover of the
vegetaJ01e drawer, keep vegetables or
fruits wrapped with plastic wrap.
R_÷ezer CompaAment
*, Do not store bottles in the freezer
compartment -they may break when frozen.
m Do not refreeze feed that has been
defrosted. This causes loss of taste and
nutritional value
,, When stodng frozen food, like ice cream, for
a long period, place it on the freezer shelf,
not in the door rack.
