Use

Storing

Fresh

Foods

Proper

use

of

the

appliance,

adequately

packed

food,

correct

temperature

and

taking

into

account

hygienic

precautions

will

substantially

influence

the

quality

of

the

food

stored.

•

Foods

to

be

stored

in

the

refrigerator

should

be

properly

packed

so

as

to

prevent

mixing

various

moisture

degrees

and

odors

(in

polyethylene

bags

or

sheet,

aluminum

foil,

wax

paper,

or

stored

in

covered

containers

or

bottles).

•

Before

storing

food

in

the

refrigerator,

remove

excessive

packaging

(like

yogurt

in

multi

-package).

•

Pack

systematically

and

make

sure

that

foodstuffs

do

not

touch

each

other

(various

odors

may

mix).

Assure

adequate

air

circulation

around

packages.

•

Never

store

flammable,

volatile

or

explosive

substances.

•

Beverages

with

high

alcohol

percentage

shall

be

stored

in

tightly

sealed

bottles

in

vertical

position.

•

Food

should

not

touch

the

rear

wall

of

the

refrigerator

•

Foods

should

be

cooled

down

before

storing.

•

Crispy

and

delicate

foods

should

be

stored

in

the

coldest

parts

of

the

refrigerator.

•

Try

not

to

open

the

door

too

often.

•

Set

the

thermostat

to

a

setting

where

lowest

temperatures

are

reached.

Set

the

thermostat

gradually

so

as

to

avoid

freezing

of

foods.

Use

a

thermometer

and

measure

the

temperature

in

the

individual

compartments.

Place

the

thermostat

in

a

glass

vessel

filled

with

water.

Temperature

readings

are

most

reliable

a

few

hours

after

a

steady

state

condition

is

reached.

•

Some

organic

solutions

like

volatile

oils

in

lemon

and

orange

peel,

acid

in

butter

etc.

can

cause

damage

when

in

contact

with

plastic

surfaces

or

gaskets

for

long

periods

of

time.

•

Unpleasant

odors

inside

the

refrigerator

is

a

sign

that

something

is

wrong

with

foods

or

that

your

refrigerator

needs

cleaning.

Unpleasant

odors

can

be

eliminated

or

reduced

by

washing

the

interior

of

the

refrigerator

with

mild

solution

of

water

and

vinegar.

We

also

recommend

using

activated

carbon

filters

to

clean

the

air

or

to

neutralize

odors.

•

If

you

are

planning

a

long

journey,

make

sure

to

remove

perishable

articles

of

food

out

of

the

appliance

before

you

leave.
