Storing food

Store food in the fridge

WARNING!

Do not overload the shelves, door racks or put too much food in the drawers to avoid items falling and causing injury or damage to the fridge freezer.

CAUTION!

• Always follow food storage times and expiration dates suggested by manufacturers. - Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments. - Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the fridge, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.

CAUTION!

Do not close the door while any shelves are extended or drawers are open. It may damage the shelves, drawers and door.

NOTE!

To avoid wasting energy:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the fridge freezer. Placing hot food directly into the fridge or freezer causes the internal temperature to rise, resulting in the compressor having to work harder and therefore consume more energy. Warm food and beverages must cool down to room temperature before storing them.
• Do not keep the doors open for longer periods.

Use the following tips and recommendations when storing food in the fridge.

When refrigerating fresh food:

• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Place the food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Other refrigerating recommendations:

Food Recommendation

Meat (all types) Wrap in polythene and place on the glass shelf above the drawer for fruit and vegetables

Cooked food, cold dishes etc. Cover and place on any shelf

Fruit and vegetables Store in the drawer for fruit and vegetables

Butter and cheese Wrap in airtight foil or plastic film wrap

Milk bottles, other bottled drinks, and canned liquids Ensure bottles have a lid and store in the door racks

Eggs and packed foods Store in the door racks, put eggs in the egg holder

Store food in the freezer

WARNING!

• Do not place food or containers in the freezer compartment with wet hands when the fridge freezer is running, especially metal containers, to avoid the risk of skin abrasions and ice burns.
• Do not consume frozen food, such as ice popsicles and ice cubes, straight from the freezer. This may cause ice burns.

CAUTION!

• Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers. - Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments. - Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food. - Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as it creates pressure in the container, which may cause it to explode and damage the product. - Make sure that bottles are not left in the freezer for longer than needed. Freezing may cause the bottles to break.

CAUTION!

Do not close the door while any drawers are open. It may damage the drawers and the door.

Use the following tips and recommendations when storing food in the freezer.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and in turn make it possible to thaw only the quantity required. Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be frozen again. When food freezes too slowly, it can lose quality or go bad.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight. Wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer.
• Label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.
• Remove as many items as needed at one time. Opening the compartment frequently may lead to increased temperature, energy consumption and food being spoiled.
• Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
