prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and
avoid unpleasant odours.
Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be
•
stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused
by the door being open for prolonged periods.
Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space
•
between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep
•
the temperature low and save energy.
Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other
•
produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat
contaminating other foodstuffs.
