14 FOOD STORAGE TIPS
Storing food
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To
maximise the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure
that the food is of the freshest possible quality. The
following is a general guide to help promote longer
food storage.
Fruit and vegetables
To minimise moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should
be loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap,
bags) and placed in the Vegetable crisper or the Chilled
compartment. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins
do not require wrapping.
Dairy products and eggs
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the
outer packaging which indicates the recommended
temperature and expected life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the egg tray.
FOOD STORAGE TIPS
Meat, fish and poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or
plastic wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish or poultry, place to the
rear of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed
in an airtight container.
NOTES: Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the
cooling air to circulate efficiently.
Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in the unit and increases
the risk of food spoilage.
Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating
circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
Do not place food directly in front of the cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food freezing.
