Fresh Food Refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer(s). For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos-
sible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in
the refrigerator.
