Storing foods

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, and melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise.

• Never keep too many foods in door rack because they may be interrupted by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.

• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.

• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.

• Avoid placing moist food upmost refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air.

• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer.

NOTE

If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause dew to form which has no effect on its
