Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
Where to store your foods in the freezer
- Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped.
- Pre-cooked chilled foods, eg. Ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.
- Pre-cooked meats eg. Ham,
- Prepared salads(including pre-packed mixed green salads, rice, potato salad etc).
- Desserts, eg. Fromage frais, home-prepared food and leftovers or cream cakes.
NOTE: Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge. This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in the fridge.
Freezing fresh foods, useful tips
Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.
Freezing fresh foods
First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of fresh food, Switch to frozen mode. This will lower the temperature in the Freezer (approx -30℃), freezing your food quicker and helping to keep the goodness in. However you should do this sparingly to conserve energy.
Preparations for freezing
- Leave cooked food to cool completely.
- Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
- Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
- Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the
Freezer.
-
Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first). -
Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
-
Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
-
You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks.
This is known as “performing” Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
Defrosting
This appliance is designed as automatic defrosting ,no need to defrost by hand.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
You should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the
Fridge/Freezer exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the
Fridge/Freezer
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Trouble Shooting
