Storing Food in a Fridge
●Pack and store cooked and fresh food separately.
●Wrap raw or defrosting meat and poultry in polythene or foil and store below cooked foods and dairy products to avoid contamination of dripping food juices.
●Wrap cheese in greaseproof paper and place in an airtight container or polythene bag. Bring to room temperature before consuming.
●Empty left over canned food into a covered storage containers before placing in the fridge.
●Position food to allow cold air to circulate freely, ensuring nothing comes into contact with the back of the fridge compartment.
●Use the different storage zones inside your fridge compartment to store a wide variety of food items.
●Your freezer is designed and constructed with good door sealing to make it operate as efficiently as possible.
For this reason, after closing the door, it may be difficult to open again immediately. This is not a fault. If you wait about 2 minutes for the internal and external pressures to equalise the door can be opened more easily.
