Storing food
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximise
the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the
food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a
general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit and vegetables
To minimise moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap, bags) and
placed in the Vegetable crisper or the Chilled compartment.
Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins do not require
wrapping.
Dairyproductsandeggs
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the
outer packaging which indicates the recommended
temperature and expected life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the egg tray.
Meat, fish and poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic
wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, sh or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.

Forbestfreezing
• Food should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them
quickly.
• Food should be properly stored in containers or freezer
bags. Air should be removed if possible and seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen
food.
Some household cleaning chemicals can cause cracks,
splits or discolouration on the inside surface of the
refrigerator and door liner. Only use diluted dishwashing
liquid and ensure that all plastic is wiped with fresh water
after cleaning.
Alkaline detergents may affect the aluminium parts of the
door handle, causing it to tarnish.
1 Remove the shelves and bins from the cabinet and door.
Wash them in warm soapy water; rinse in clean water
and dry.
2 Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
water. Then use cold water to wipe off the soapy water.
3 Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
4 Clean the magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy water.
5 Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth.
