• Hints for fresh food refrigeration
  • Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer,the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
  • Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
  • Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.
• Hints for refrigeration
  • Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
