Tips for Storing Food in the Unit and Reducing Food Waste
• Cooked meats/shes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/shes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/shes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all
parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of avours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food
out.
• Hang the bottle stopper on any door shelf to hold bottles rmly in place.
• One of the salad bin cover shelves has a humidity control feature (Low / High). To maintain a
lower humidity level in the salad bin, slide the feature leftward (towards Low). To maintain a
higher humidity level in the salad bin, slide the feature rightward (towards High).
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in
sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will
develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass
shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage
conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green
leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being aected by ethylenereleaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
g etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water
leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package
meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow passage.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not aect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
