Storing food in the refrigerator compartment

The fridge freezer compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.

Fresh food care for best results :

• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
• Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer. Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the fridge compartment.

- Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.

- Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.

Dairy foods and eggs

• Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended 'use by /best before/best by/ date stamped on them.
  Store them in the fridge compartment and use within the recommended time.
• Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.
• Eggs should be stored in the fridge compartment.

Red meat

• Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with plastic wrap or foil.
• Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.

Fish and seafood

• Until required, refrigerate on a plate loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil.
• Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
• Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1-2 days.

Cooked food

• These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
• Keep for only 1-2 days.

Vegetable container

- The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables.

• Take care not to store the following at temperatures of less than 7°C for long periods: Citrus fruit, melons, aborigines, pineapple, papaya, curettes, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.

- Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.

- Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas and mangoes.

COLDEST ZONE IN THE REFRIGERATOR

This symbol indicates the location of the coldest zone of the refrigerator, The area is bounded below by the glass crisper, and above by the symbol or the rack positioned at the same height.

To ensure the temperature in this area, do not change the positioning of the shelf. In forced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models), the symbol of the coldest zone is not represented because the temperature inside is homogeneous.

Temperature indicator setting

To help you set your refrigerator well, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that will monitor the average temperature in the coldest zone.

WARNING : This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator, do not use it in another refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other use.

Checking the temperature in the coldest zone

With the temperature indicator, you can check regularly that the temperature of the coldest zone is correct. Indeed, the internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and

the frequency of door opening. Take these factors into consideration when setting the device.

When the indicator shows « OK », this means that your thermostat is well adjusted and the internal temperature correct.

OK

If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, this means that the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 12 hours before performing a new visual inspection of the indicator.

When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is possible for the indicator of temperature to turn WHITE after a while.
