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 foodparticularly 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
