Useful Advice

Making the best use of your Fridge

Note : Always use the handle provided to open the fridge door.

To ensure that your fridge operates as efficiently as possible :

●Follow food packaging “best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers advice on a suitable maximum storage time.

●Keep foods covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers with lids are ideal.

●Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer than needed.

●Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in fridge, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.

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, or covers the defrost gutter drain hole below this.

●Use the different storage zones inside your fridge compartment to store a wide variety of food items.
