Food storage
Refrigerator Compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent
formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed
containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate
in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and,
in time, your appliance will require more frequent
defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food
should be allowed to cool at room temperature and
should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in
the refrigerator compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the
rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and
packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator
door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely
wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the
vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides
the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper
containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent
ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits
(banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial
quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration
cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat
products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking
from meat may contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. You should package meat products and
clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended
expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the
refrigerator. The table Table 3.1 is a quick guide to show you
the most ecient way to store the major food groups in your
refrigerator compartment.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to
adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to
+4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be
in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0°C are iced
and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8°C, and
spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately,
wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods
increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food
poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller
compartment of the food, and the vegetable
compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit
vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed
containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

Tips on Storing Fresh Food
• Make sure that foods, which have been cooked and
require chilling, are at room temperature before placing
them into the appliance. Make sure that these foods are
stored in suitable containers.
• Foods stored in the refrigerator should be cleaned and
dried before storing.
• Before foods are put into the refrigerator, it is
recommended that the foods should be pressurised,
so that the water cannot vaporise, and the fruits and
vegetables keep fresh and food smells will not mix.
• Stored foods can be marked in bags.
• Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the
shelf.
• Make sure that foodstuffs are stored systematically (raw
meats with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour
transfer and cross contamination. Raw meats should be
stored towards the bottom of the appliance to prevent
the possibility of it dripping onto uncooked food. Other
foods should be stored above raw meat.
• When storing food in the fresh food section always
make sure there is adequate space for airflow
circulation. This helps to maintain the shelf life of the
food.
• When storing food in the refrigerator make sure that
foods are not too close to the rear wall to avoid the risk
of freezing.
• It is suggested for radishes and other root vegetables to
trim the leaves. This keeps the nutrition in the root and
not absorbed by the leaves.
• Put frozen foods into the fresh food area to let them
defrost. The low temperature of the refrigerator reduces
the formation of bacteria and extends food life.
• Some foods like onions, garlic, bananas and root
vegetables are better stored at room temperature than
in the fridge.
• Melon, pineapples and bananas can go directly into the
freezer after preparing, for storage over a longer period.
• Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct
temperature and taking into account food hygiene, will
enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this
appliance.
• Use plastic bags, aluminium foil or other food wraps to
cover fresh foods not in packaging to prevent flavour
transfer and prevent contamination.
• Before storing items in multi-packs (i.e. yoghurt) remove
any excess packaging.
• NEVER store anything that is flammable, volatile or
explosive inside the appliance.
• Beverages with high alcohol content should be stored
vertically in tightly sealed bottles.
• Delicate foods should be stored in the coolest part of
the appliance.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to make sure that foods remain
suitably cold; try to avoid freezing within the fridge.
Using a thermometer will help you to judge how cool
the appliance is. Place it into a glass of water and leave
it inside the appliance for several hours to get a reliable
reading.
• Some foods contain natural oils and acids (e.g. citric
acid) which can damage plastics if spilled – make sure
these foods are suitably contained.
• Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that
something has spilled and cleaning is required. Using
warm water with bicarbonate of soda will clean the
interior of the appliance and remove most spillages (see
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).
• Always remember to remove perishable foods from this
appliance before taking prolonged trips of holidays.
13
Tips on Freezing Food
• As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality
of the food you are freezing.
• Avoid putting hot foods into the freezer. First let them
cool until they reach room temperature.
• Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high
quality, and suitable for freezing.
• Use packaging material that is odourless and airproof
(such as plastic bags) to store food in so different foods
can be mixed without affecting the quality. Make sure
that it is airtight. Leaking packaging will dehydrate the
products and lead to loss of beneficial vitamins.
• Keep the surface of the packaging dry – this keeps the
packs from freezing together.
• Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the
date of storage.
• Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to
freeze small portions whenever possible and ensure
that they are as cold as possible before storage. The
recommended maximum weight for each portion is
2.5 kg.
• Keep food which is fresh away from food which is
already frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every
day, make sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.
• Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing, please
refer to the “Technical Data”.
• Write the expiry date and food names on the outside of
the packaging so you can be assured of the food type
and when it is safe to eat.
• Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed.
Defrosted food cannot be refrozen unless it is cooked.
• Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once.
This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity.
Please refer to the “Technical Data”.
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these
guidelines:
• Always follow manufacturers’guidelines for the length
of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these
guidelines!
• Try to keep the length of time between purchase and
storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a
temperature of –18°C or below.
• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the
packaging – This indicates that the products might have
been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point –
temperature rises affect the quality of food.
• Should there be a power cut, or the freezer /
refrigeration appliance fail for any length of time you
may need to remove food from the freezer and store
in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage or out house area)
until the power is restored, or the appliance is repaired.
• To prevent undue temperature rises you should wrap
the foods in layers of insulating material, such as
newspaper, to help to maintain their temperature. It is
also important that any food affected by this situation
should be either consumed or cooked and refrozen
(where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent
health risks.
• Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep
foods cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).
