Suggestion on Food Storage

Storing Foods

Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.

Do not store food, which spoils easily, at low temperatures, such as bananas and melons.

Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.

When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.

	Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator
	temperatures even.
	Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,
	and cause temperatures to rise.
	Never keep too much food in door rack because they may be pushed against the inner racks
	and the door would not be fully closed.
Freezer	Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
Compartment	Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
	When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
	shelf, not in the door rack.
	Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metal -, with wet
	hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.
	- That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters
	are frozen, causing personal injury.
Refrigerator	Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct
Compartment	contact with chilled air.
	Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
	wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
	When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always
	store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

NOTE

•If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause condensation to form. Remove the condensation with dust free cloth.
