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 as to
prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene
bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper), or stored in covered
containers or bottles.
• Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive packaging
(like yoghurt in multi-package).
• Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each
other (various odours may mix). Assure adequate air circulation around
packages.
• Never store inflammable, 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 the setting where lower temperatures are
reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of the 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 steady state
is reached.
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel, acid in
butter etc. can cause damage and when in contact with plastic surfaces
or gaskets for longer period of time they can cause accelerated ageing
of the plastic material.
• Unpleasant odours inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is
wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning.
Unpleasant odours can be eliminated or reduced by washing the
interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar.
We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or
to neutralize odors.
• If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable
articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.
