For best food care
z
Store only high-quality, fresh food in your appliance.
z
Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storingatroom
temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmfulmicrobialgrowth.
z
Storing at temperatures other than settings recommended may impact the storage life.
z
Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in
suitablepackaging to prevent dehydration, color deterioration, loss of flavor, and
transfer ofodour.
z
We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance orinone of
the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with otherfoods.
z
Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into
theappliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures.
Itmayalso cause sealed items to sweat/condensate – which is undesirable.
z
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle
racksprovided.
z
Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
z
Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that
showsign of spoilage.
z
Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside
your appliance.
z
We recommend using FAST FREEZE when you are adding food items toyour appliance,
such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food isfrozen within the
shortest period of time, locking in the freshness andextending the shelf life of your food.
Items stored in your refrigerator
z
Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf
tominimize any transfer of odor or odor absorption from other foods.
z
Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odors through
theirporous shell structure.
Items stored in your freezer
z
We recommended cooling carbonated beverages only when the BOTTLE CHILL
function isactive.
z
Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer.
Failure toremove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood
ofbottle/canexplosion.
z
Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and
prevent freezer burn.
z
To maintain freshness and quality, we recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator.
These foods should not be in contact with fresh foods. Ensure partially or fully defrosted
foods are never re-frozen – cook immediately.
