Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure
that the food is of the freshest possible quality.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food
storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not
seal) and place in the vegetable crisper or the fruit case.
If you store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no
effect on the operation or the performance. Use a dry cloth to
remove the dew.
Dairy Products & Eggs
•
Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer packaging
which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of
the product.
•
Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
•
Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap.
•
For larger cuts of meat, fi sh, or poultry, place to the rear of the
shelves.
•
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an
airtight container.

NOTE
•
Evenly place the
food on the shelves
to allow the cooling air
to circulate effi ciently.
•
Hot foods should be cooled before
storing. Storing hot foods increases the
temperature in the unit and increases the
risk of food spoilage.
•
Do not block the outlet and inlet of the
cool air circulating circuit with foods
or containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the
refrigerator.
•
Keep the door securely closed.
Do not place food directly in front of cold air
outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
For best freezing
•
Quality of foods should be fresh.
•
Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them
quickly.
•
Food should be properly sealed, sealed tightly or covered.
•
Evenly place the food in the freezer.
•
Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.
