PART 5: ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD
• Food products, which are susceptible to the absorption of odours or that release odours must always be
stored in closed boxes or in appropriate packaging.
• Appropriate wrapping materials for food is plastic wrap, aluminium foil, glass jars, etc.
• The products should not touch the back wall, otherwise they may freeze on.
• Always allow hot dishes to cool down before placing them into the refrigerator.
• Open the door only for a short time so that the inside area of the fridge is not heated. This saves energy.
• Never store explosive materials or products with  ammable compressed gasses (e.g. whipped cream
sprayers with pressurised capsules/cartridges, spray cans) – DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
• Do not place oils intended for the preparation of meals into the removable drawers in the refrigerator
door. This may cause cracks caused by the pressure in the plastic on the door.
• Alcoholic beverages must always be stored in the cold zone, in a vertical position and  rmly and safely
closed.
