instruction you can have the right way to storage your
food. The glass shelves and crisper can be removed
to store food if needed.
Note: Food is not allowed to touch directly all surfaces
inside the appliance. It has to be wrapped separately
in aluminum sheet or in cellophane sheet or in airtight
plastic boxes.
Storing food in the refrigerator compartment
The fridge freezer compartment helps to extend the
storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care for best results:
·Store foods that are very fresh and of good
quality.
·Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered
before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste
and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent
odour transfer. Vegetables and fruit need not be
wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable
container of the fridge compartment.
·Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped
-52-

or covered and stored away from foods such as
butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by
strong odours.
·Cool hot foods down before placing them in the
fridge compartment.
Dairy foods and eggs
·M o s t p r e - p a c k e d d a i r y f o o d s h a v e a
recommended 'use by /best before/best by/ date
stamped on them. Store them in the fridge
compartment and use within the recommended
time.
·Butter can become tainted by strong smelling
foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.
·Eggs should be stored in the fridge compartment.
Red meat
·Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover
with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
·Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates.
This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat
from contaminating the cooked product.
Poultry
·Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out
with cold running water, dried and placed on a
plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
·Poultry pieces should also be stored this way.
Whole poultry should never be stuffed until just
before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may
result.
-53-

Fish and seafood
·Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of
purchase. Until required, refrigerate on a plate
loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or
foil.
·If storing overnight or longer, take particular care
to select very fresh fish. Whole fish should be rinsed
in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and
then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole
fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
·Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1-2
days.
Precooked foods and leftovers
·These should be stored in suitable covered
containers so that the food will not dry out.
·Keep for only 1-2 days.
·Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.
Vegetable container
·The vegetable container is the optimum storage
location for fresh fruit and vegetables.
