Correct storage
A fan provides for quick cooling of the food and an even temperature distribution in the fridge zone and in the LONGFRESH 0 °C cold zone.
Foods with different perishability can therefore be arranged on the shelves as you like, without having to take into account the different temperature zones which usually occur. The arrangement (see fig.) indicates possible ways of storing food.
In order to check the temperature on the shelves you can carry out the following test yourself:
0 1. Place a cup of water in the centre of the said shelf with a thermometer inside.
2.Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first thing in the morning.
3.At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does, you need to adjust the temperature regulator to a colder setting.
For further information on keeping food cool and safe a guide published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is available and can be obtained free of charge by contacting:
