Food Storage Tips

Food storage
Refrigerator Compartment

• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and,
  in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.

• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.

• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the
  rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.

• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.

• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.

• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.

• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits
  (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).

• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.

• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.

• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.

• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.

• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The table Table 3.1 is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to
  + 4 °C.

• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.

• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)

• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.

• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

and store on the glass shelf

Table 3.1

Tips on Storing Fresh Food

• Make sure that foods, which have been cooked and require chilling, are at room temperature before placing them into the appliance. Make sure that these foods are stored in suitable containers.
• Foods stored in the refrigerator should be cleaned and dried before storing.
• Before foods are put into the refrigerator, it is recommended that the foods should be pressurised, so that the water cannot vaporise, and the fruits and vegetables keep fresh and food smells will not mix.
• Stored foods can be marked in bags.
• Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
• Make sure that foodstuffs are stored systematically (raw meats with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour transfer and cross contamination. Raw meats should be stored towards the bottom of the appliance to prevent the possibility of it dripping onto uncooked food. Other foods should be stored above raw meat.
• When storing food in the fresh food section always make sure there is adequate space for airflow circulation. This helps to maintain the shelf life of the food.
• When storing food in the refrigerator make sure that foods are not too close to the rear wall to avoid the risk of freezing.
• It is suggested for radishes and other root vegetables to trim the leaves. This keeps the nutrition in the root and not absorbed by the leaves.
• Put frozen foods into the fresh food area to let them defrost. The low temperature of the refrigerator reduces the formation of bacteria and extends food life.
• Some foods like onions, garlic, bananas and root vegetables are better stored at room temperature than in the fridge.
• Melon, pineapples and bananas can go directly into the freezer after preparing, for storage over a longer period.
• Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct temperature and taking into account food hygiene, will enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this appliance.
• Use plastic bags, aluminium foil or other food wraps to cover fresh foods not in packaging to prevent flavour transfer and prevent contamination.
• Before storing items in multi-packs (i.e. yoghurt) remove any excess packaging.
• NEVER store anything that is flammable, volatile or explosive inside the appliance.
• Beverages with high alcohol content should be stored vertically in tightly sealed bottles.
• Delicate foods should be stored in the coolest part of the appliance.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to make sure that foods remain suitably cold; try to avoid freezing within the fridge. Using a thermometer will help you to judge how cool the appliance is. Place it into a glass of water and leave it inside the appliance for several hours to get a reliable reading.
• Some foods contain natural oils and acids (e.g. citric acid) which can damage plastics if spilled – make sure these foods are suitably contained.
• Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. Using warm water with bicarbonate of soda will clean the interior of the appliance and remove most spillages (see ‘Cleaning and Maintenance).
• Always remember to remove perishable foods from this appliance before taking prolonged trips of holidays.

Tips on Freezing Food

• As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality of the food you are freezing.

• Avoid putting hot foods into the freezer. First let them cool until they reach room temperature.

• Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high quality, and suitable for freezing.

• Use packaging material that is odourless and airproof (such as plastic bags) to store food in so different foods can be mixed without affecting the quality. Make sure that it is airtight. Leaking packaging will dehydrate the products and lead to loss of beneficial vitamins.

• Keep the surface of the packaging dry – this keeps the packs from freezing together.

• Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the date of storage.

• Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to
  freeze small portions whenever possible and ensure that they are as cold as possible before storage. The recommended maximum weight for each portion is 2.5 kg.

• Keep food which is fresh away from food which is already frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every day, make sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.

• Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing, please refer to the “Technical Data”.

• Write the expiry date and food names on the outside of the packaging so you can be assured of the food type and when it is safe to eat.

• Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed. Defrosted food cannot be refrozen unless it is cooked.

• Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once. This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity. Please refer to the “Technical Data”.
  When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

• Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these guidelines!

• Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.

• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a temperature of –18 °C or below.

• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point –temperature rises affect the quality of food.

• Should there be a power cut, or the freezer /refrigeration appliance fail for any length of time you may need to remove food from the freezer and store in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage or out house area) until the power is restored, or the appliance is repaired.

• To prevent undue temperature rises you should wrap the foods in layers of insulating material, such as newspaper, to help to maintain their temperature. It is also important that any food affected by this situation should be either consumed or cooked and refrozen
  (where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.

• Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep foods cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see
  ‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).

Cleaning and Maintenance

Defrosting
Defrosting is done automatically so there is no need to manually defrost this appliance.
DO NOT use mechanical devices to accelerate the defrosting process.

Cleaning

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

• Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasives, or aggressive cleaners as these can damage the interior of the appliance.

• The fridge is heavy. When moving the refrigerator be careful to protect the floor. Keep the refrigerator vertical and do not tilt the refrigerator – this prevents damage to the floor.

• DO NOT spray or rinse the fridge with water or other
  liquids. This could harm the electrical parts.

• Use a dry cloth when cleaning near the electrical parts (such as the light bulb or switch).

• DO NOT clean the fridge with a stiff or wire brush.

• DO NOT use an organic solvent such as detergent, petrol, lacquer, thinners, acetone or acid.

• To prevent your skin sticking to cold steel parts, make sure your hands are not wet when touching the parts.

• DO NOT use HOT water to clean the glass shelves, as they may break or crack.

• To keep internal odours to a minimum it is best to periodically clean the inside shelves, crispers, bins and wall.

• Empty the appliance of food and remove the shelves.

• Clean the interior using warm water and bicarbonate of soda with a soft cloth. Make sure that the interior is then dried carefully with a suitable cloth.

• After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

• Shelves and other accessories (plastic and glass parts) can be cleaned in the sink using liquid dishwashing liquid and warm water. Make sure all soap is rinsed off and all parts are dry before replacing them inside the appliance.

• Always keep the door seals clean.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

• Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year.

• This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.

Cleaning the evaporation bowl:

• Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting flows into an evaporation container.

• The evaporation container is located at the back of the appliance. Usually this container doesn’t need special care, but if you find a pool of water or experience an odd smell, it may need to be checked and cleaned.

• Pull out the power cord first. Lift the water pan up a little, and then pull it straight out carefully.
  Caution: make sure the discharge pipe is not too hot.

• After cleaning, refix the water pan into its original position. Make sure that the pipe is on the top of the water pan before you push it into the appliance.

When not in use

• If you are not using the appliance for an extended length
  of time, it is recommended that you switch off the electrical supply, empty any food out, clean the inside of the appliance and leave the door ajar. This will save energy, and also prevent a build up of stale odours inside.
