Suggestions 
Storage period will be extended if 
vegetables are placed with their roots 
towards the cold source.
Leaves  of  carrots  or  turnips  should  be 
removed before storage.
Eggs should be stored vertically in the 
egg holder.
Frozen food can be placed in the cold 
compartment before serving, as this 
will conserve energy. 
Ripe squash, melon, pawpaw, bananas and 
pineapples should not be stored in the 
refrigerator. Freezing will 
accelerate the ripening process.
Onions, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts and 
other root vegetables should not be stored 
in the refrigerator, as these foods are 
suitable for long-term storage at normal 
temperatures.

Refrigerating 
storage precautions 
Hot  food  must  be  cooled  to  room 
temperature  before  storing  in  the 
refrigerator.
Dry any water droplets on the food 
before placing it in the refrigerator.
Food to be stored should be properly 
sealed.
This will prevent moisture in the food from 
evaporating and prevent vegetables and fruit 
from tainting in flavor.
Storage of sorted food
Food to be stored should be sorted 
according to consumer requirements.
Food consumed daily should be placed in 
the most convenient area, this will minimize 
opening periods for the door.
Do not store excess quantities or weights of 
food.
Food should be stored with spaces in 
between for better storage results. Never 
overload shelves, as they may collapse 
under excessive loads.
Do not place food too close to the internal 
walls.
Food with high moisture content should not 
be placed close to the walls of the inner 
liner. Maintain a space to prevent food from 
freezing onto the walls.
