Use
Storing
Fresh
Foods
Proper use of the appliance,
adequately
packed food,
correct
temperature
and taking into account
hygienic
precautions
will substantially
influence
the quality of
the food stored.
* Foods to be stored in the refrigerator
should
be
properly
packed
so as to prevent mixing various
moisture
degrees
and odors (in polyethylene
bags
or sheet, aluminum
foil, wax paper, or stored in
covered
containers
or bottles).
• Before
storing food in the refrigerator,
remove
excessive
packaging
(like yogurt in multi-package).
• Pack systematicatly
and make sure that
foodstuffs
do not touch each other (various
odors
may mix).
Assure
adequate
air circulation
around
packages.
• Never store flammable, volatile or
explosive substances.
• Beverages
with high alcohol
percentage
shall
be stored in tightly sealed
bottles
in
vertical
position.
• Food should
not touch the rear wall.of
the refrigerator
* Foods should
be coored down before storing.
• Crispy and delicate foods should
be stored in the
coldest
parts of the refrigerator.
• Try not to open the door too often.
* Set the thermostat
to a setting
where lowest
temperatures
are reached.
Set the thermostat
gradually
so as to avoid freezing
of foods.
Use a
thermometer
and measure
the temperature
in the
individual
compartments.
Place the thermostat
in a
glass vessel filled with water.
Temperature
readings
are most reliable a few hours after a steady state
condition
is reached.
• Some organic
solutions
like volatile oils in lemon
and orange
peel, acid in butter etc. can cause
damage
when in contact with plastic surfaces
or
gaskets for long periods
of time.
, Unpleasant
odors inside the refrigerator is a sign
that something
is wrong
with foods or that your
refrigerator
needs cleaning.
Unpleasant
odors can
be eliminated
or reduced
by washing the interior
of
the refrigerator
with mild solution
of water and
vinegar.
We also recommend
using activated
carbon
filters to clean the air or to neutralize
odors.
• if you are pFanning a long journey,
make sure to
remove perishable
a_ticles of food out of the
appliance
before you leave.
