HINTS AND TIPS

Food Storage

¥To obtain the best results from your appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the larder compartment.

¥Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible.

¥Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.

¥Do not store food uncovered.

¥Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean, refer to ÔMaintenance and CleaningÕ.

¥Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.

¥Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet are not obstructed.

¥Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit.
