Replacing LED Lighting

only.
CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
• Take care when storing tropical fruit such as pineapples as they can quickly deteriorate in lower temperatures.
• Divide and separate food into smaller pieces before storage.
• Cover or wrap food to prevent odours. We recommend that you store meat loosely covered as this allows air to
circulate around the meat causing the surface to dry slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria.
• Do not store food close so that it blocks the crisper air adjustment button.
The table below is a quick guide, showing you the most efcient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator
compartment.
Food Storage Duration Location
Fruits and Vegetables 1 week Loose in Vegetable Holder
Fish and Meat 2-3 Days Wrapped on Glass Shelf
Fresh Cheese 3-4 Days Top Door Shelf
Butter and Margarine 1 Week Top Door Shelf
Bottles, Yogurt and Milk Refer to Packaging Top Door Shelf
Eggs 1 month In Egg Holder
The Freezer Compartment:
You should use the freezer compartments for storing food for long periods and making ice. Aim to freeze fresh food
as quickly as possible so that it keeps its taste and appearance. We recommend that you place food you would like
to freeze in the upper tray of the freezer compartment for 24 hours before placing it next to other frozen foods. It is
important that you do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity of your Fridge Freezer, this will help to ensure that
your food freezes as quickly as possible. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24 hour period is 18 kg.
The storage durations of frozen food can be changed by a variety of factors, such as; the frequency of the doors
opening and closing, thermostat settings, food types and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was
acquired to the time it entered the freezer. It is important that you follow the packaging on frozen foods and do not
exceed the storage duration. The table below contains some recommendations on freezing.
