Correct storage

For physical reasons, the refrigerator compartment has different temperature zones. The coldest zone is on the lowest storage shelf immediately above the fruit and vegetable drawers. Warmer zones are the upper storage shelves and door racks. The arrangement (see fig.) indicates where different types of food are best stored to make the most of temperature variations.

For instance, the shelf immediately above the fruit and vegetable drawers should be 5 °C for safe storage of meat and fish products. In order to check that the appliance is at 5 °C on the lowest shelf you can carry out the following test yourself:

01. 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.

polyethylene bags;

plastic containers with lids;

special plastic covers with rubber retainers;
