4.13 Storage of food

The operation of your appliance is described generally in the chapters « OPERATION » et seq.; the following explanations will help you to store your food properly.
i Food must not get in touch with the surfaces inside the appliance directly. It has to be wrapped separately in aluminium foil or in cellophane foil or in airtight plastic boxes.

STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

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

PROPER STORAGE OF FRESH FOOD ENSURES BEST RESULTS

➢ Store food that is very fresh and of good quality only.
➢ Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will help to maintain the freshness of food and prevent it from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste It will also prevent odour transfer.
- Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the crisper of the fridge compartment.
Make sure that strong smelling food is wrapped or covered in storage and kept away from foods such as butter, milk and cream as they can be spoiled by strong odours.
➢ Cool hot food down before placing it 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 be spoiled 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 cover it with waxed paper, 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.

POULTRY

➢ Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and outside with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate covered with plastic wrap or foil.
➢ Poultry pieces should also be stored this way.
Whole poultry must only be filled immediately before cooking to avoid food poisoning.

FISH AND SEAFOOD

Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, they should be stored in the fridge on a plate which is covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil loosely.
If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish.
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.

PRECOOKED FOOD AND LEFTOVERS

These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
▶ Keep for 1-2 days only.
➢ Reheat leftovers once only and until steaming hot.

CRISPER

The crisper is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables.
➢ Take care not to store the following food at temperatures of less than 7 °C for long periods: citrus fruit, melons, pineapple, papaya, 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.

FREEZING AND STORING OF FOOD IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

To store deep-frozen food.
To make ice cubes.
To freeze food.

NOTICE! Ensure that the door of the freezer compartment has been closed properly.

PURCHASING OF FROZEN FOOD
