Do not keep hot food in fridge, bring
it down to room temperature before
storing it in. This will help to
reduce power consumption.
Food should be covered up with bags or other
type of containers, this will
help food to retain its taste
and nutrients for longer
time.
Do not store food items very close to each other,
keep some distance between
them for cool air circulation.
It is recommended to store root vegetables
(ex. Carrot, Beetroot) without
their leaves to avoid water
dripping from their leaves.
Food items such as onions, ginger, garlic can
remain fresh for longer time
even at room temperature.
No need to refrigerate them.
While storing large sized food items,
make smaller portions to freeze it
quickly.
Different food items should be packed in
separate packages, prefer
good quality transparent
packages to ensure
food taste and quality.
Wipe off excessive moisture gathered on food or
containers or bags, this will lead
to retain food's freshness for
longer time.
Try to reduce door opening frequency and do
not keep door open for longer time.
Avoid placing high moisture contained food
items close to the fridge walls,
rather place them near to
the door to avoid being
frozen.
When keeping frozen food for thawing, keep
refrigerator compartment
temperature lower to save
energy.
Food items such as banana, pineapple, papaya,
and muskmelon can turn bad
easily if stored at low
temperature. Avoid
refrigerating them for
long time.
Once frozen food is melted prefer to
cook them immediately to ensure
its quality. Do not choose
to freeze them again.
Do not store large amount of
food items (> 3 kg) in freezer
compartment at once.
