Storing Food.

STORING FRESH FOOD:

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and tak- ing into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the food stored.

Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed, to prevent drying out and odour transference. Plastic bags, containers with lids, foil and plastic stretch wrap are ideal.

Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in a polythene bag, excluding as much air as possible. For best results take out of the fridge an hour before eating.

Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excess packaging.

Allow adequate air circulation around packages, make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix).

Never store poisonous, dangerous substances, products that contain flammable gasses (eg. aerosols) or explosive substances in the appliance. Explosion hazard! Your appliance has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in a vertical position.

Position food to allow air to circulate freely, ensuring nothing comes into contact with the cooling plate at the rear of the refrigerator.

Foods should be cooled down before storing.

Quickly perishable foods should be stored at the back ie. the coldest part of the refrigerator.

Try not to open the door too often.

Wrap raw or defrosting meat and poultry in polythene or foil and store below cooked foods and dairy products.

Clean out salad bins regularly and check that nothing has dripped into them.

Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to ’sell by’ dates.

Store fruit and vegetables in the salad bins under the glass shelf as it provides a better humidity level for these items.

Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil.

Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem.

If you are going away, ensure that perishable foods are removed from the refrigerator before you leave.
