Tips on Storing Fresh Food

Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.
'Best before' and 'use by' dates. Food with a "use by"
date goes off quite quickly. It can be dangerous to eat
after this date. Food with a "best before" date is longer-
lasting. It should be safe to eat but may not be at its best
quality after this date.
Make sure that food that 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 washed and
dried before storing.
Some food are best left wrapped in the manufactures
original packaging when put in the refrigerator. If un-
wrapped, it is recommended that the food should be re-
wrapped, so that the water cannot evaporate.
Some fruit and vegetables keep fresher and food smells
will not mix if wrapped.
Stored foods can be marked in bags or containers.
Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the
shelf.
Make sure that food is stored systematically (raw meats
with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour transfer
and cross contamination. Raw meats should be stored
at the bottom of the fridge 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 de-
frost. The low temperature of the refrigerator reduces the
formation of bacteria and extends food life.
Some foods like onions, garlic, bananas and root veg-
etables are better stored at room temperature than in the
fridge.
The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as cour-
gettes, melons, papaya, banana, pineapple, etc. can be
accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advis-
able to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripen-
ing of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain
period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables
should also be stored at room temperature.
Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct tem-
perature and taking into account food hygiene, will
enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this ap-
pliance.
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 ex-
plosive inside the appliance.
Delicate foods should be stored in the coolest part of the
appliance.
Try not to open the door too often.
Avoid unnecessarily low temperature in the appliance.
Minus temperatures may occur at high settings.
Caution: Bottles may burst.
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.
