Suggestions on food storage
Storing Food
Storing Food
•Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
•Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and
lead to higher electric bills.
•When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
•Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
•Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
•To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store
food near the temperature control dial.
•Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
•Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
may break when frozen.
•Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This
causes loss of taste and nutrition.
NoteIf you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid
place, frequently open its door or put a lot of
vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no
effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
