5.12 Tips on storing fresh food
5.12.1 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 owing 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 owing. In special way 
don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid di-
rect 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 en-
ergy.  
 ▶ The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, ba-
nana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advis-
able 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 vegeta-
bles should also be stored at room temperature.
 ▶ Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and clean-
ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING. 
 ▶ Dierent foods should be placed in dierent areas according to their properties (Fig.: 
5.12.1).
