Storing fresh food

Important precautions for storing fresh food

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and hygienic precautions produce substantial impact on the quality of stored food.

Always respect the best before date, printed on the packaging.

Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent emission and/or reception of bacteria, moisture and odours.

Never store inﬂammable, volatile or explosive substances.

Beverages with high alcohol percentages, should be stored vertically in tightly sealed bottles.

Some organic solutions like strong oils in lemon and orange peel, acids in butter etc. can cause damage in prolonged contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time they can cause accelerated aging of the plastic material.

Any unpleasant odour inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with food or that your refrigerator needs cleaning (see chapter Cleaning).

Should you be away for a lengthy time, please ensure that all perishable food is removed prior, from the appliance before you leave.
