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 systematically
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 cooled
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 planning
a long journey,
make sure to
remove
perishable
articles
of food out of the
appliance
before
you leave.
