Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
