5- Use GB 5.14 Tips on storing fresh food 5.14.1 Storing into the refrigerator compartment ▶▶ Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C. ▶▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance. ▶▶ Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing ▶▶ Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations. ▶▶ Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling. ▶▶ Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf. ▶▶ Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In special way don't store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found. ▶▶ Frozen food can be gently thawed in the refrigerator compartment. This saves energy. ▶▶ The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, banana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature. ▶▶ Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. See CARE AND CLEANING. ▶▶ Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties (Fig.: 5.14.1). 5.14.1 1 Butter, cheese, eggs, spices, etc. 2 Eggs, canned food, spices, etc 3 Drinks and bottled foods. 1 1 4 4 Pickled foods, canned food, etc. 2 Fine-controlled micro air-channel NAVI-FORCE 5 5 Meat products, snack foods, etc. 2 6 6 Pasta, milk, tofu, dairy, etc. 3 7 3 7 Fruit, vegetables, salad, etc. 8 9 8 DryZone drawer ▶▶ : Butter, fats, oils, chocolate etc. ▶▶ : Pears, grapes cherries etc. ▶▶ : Cabbage, mushrooms etc. 9 MoistZone drawer: ▶▶ : tea, coffee, dried fruit etc. ▶▶ : Apples, carrots etc. ▶▶ : Rraw fresh food 18
