Hints & Tips Food Storage To obtain the best results from your appliance neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the refrigerator. Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean, refer to Cleaning and Maintenance. Energy Saving Advice Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet are not obstructed. Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner. Frozen food storage Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward. The packs can be placed beside each other or on top of each other. You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food in the compartment as quickly as possible after purchase and we therefore recommend that you buy them last. Also ensure that the external packaging is intact. 7 S t or age time char t Time and method of storage of fresh foods in the refrigerator Foods Raw meat Cooked meat Roasted meat Raw minced meat Cooked minced meat Cold cuts Fresh fish Cooked fish Tinned fish, open Fresh chicken Fried chicken Fresh duck, goose Roasted duck, goose Butter unopened Butter opened Milk Cream Sour cream Cheese (hard) Cheese (soft) Egg Spinach, sorrel Green peas, green beans Mushroom Carrot Tomato Cabbage Strawberry, raspberry, etc. Tinned fruits opened Cakes filled with cream Notation: X x recommended storage time maximum recommended storage time 1 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X 2 X X X X X x X x X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X Storage time in days 3 4 5 6 x x x X x x x X x x x x x x x X X X X X x X x X X X X x X x X X X X X x x x x x x x X X x x x X X X X x X x X X X x x x x x x x X x x x X x X x x X X X x x x x x x X x x X x X x X X x Method of packaging 7 cling film, airtight dish covered dish covered dish covered dish covered cling film, cellophane, greaseproof paper cling film, airtight dish covered dish covered cling film, airtight dish covered cling film, airtight dish covered original packaging original packaging original packaging plastic box plastic box aluminium foil cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film cling film dish covered dish covered x X x x X x X x X X x 8 Maint enance & Cleaning Before any maintenance of cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
