RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE AND IMPLEMENTING
PRINCIPLES OF FOOD HYGIENE.
Proper use of the refrigerator and respect for hygienic principles will significantly improve
the quality of food preservation.
Temperature Control
Place the most delicate foods in the coldest part of the refrigerator, generally right above
the fruit and vegetable crisper in traditional models, up top in frost free models.
Cooked foods should be stored in air-tight containers, left to cool off, and then placed in
the middle of the refrigerator.
Fruits and vegetables are placed in the crisper drawers at the bottom of the refrigerator.
Implementing Food Hygiene Principles
Remove wrapping before placing food in the refrigerator.
Packaging fresh foods helps them last longer and keeps them from contaminating one another.
Place foods in such a way that air can circulate freely inside the refrigerator.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator frequently using a mild detergent which has some
anti-bacterial power.
