FOODCARE
For best food care
z
Store only high-quality, fresh food in your refrigerator.
z
Store perishable foods in the refrigerator immediately after purchase. Storingatroom
temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmfulmicrobialgrowth.
z
Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in
suitablepackaging to prevent dehydration, colour deterioration, loss of flavour, and
transfer ofodour.
z
We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator orinone
of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with otherfoods.
z
Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into
therefrigerator. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures. Hot
items mayalso cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.
z
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle
racksprovided.
z
Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
z
Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that
showsign of spoilage.
z
Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside
your refrigerator.
z
We recommend using FAST FREEZE when you are adding food items toyour refrigerator,
such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food isfrozen within the
shortest period of time, locking in the freshness andextending the shelf life of your food.
z
For storage of general household foods in the most efficient manner, it is recommended
to use the product in the factory configuration supplied. Moving the shelves and bins will
have a minimal impact on efficiency.
z
Storing at temperatures other than settings recommended may impact the storage life.
Items stored in your refrigerator
z
Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf
tominimise any transfer of odour or odour absorption from other foods.
z
Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odours through
theirporous shell structure.
z
Do not store chill sensitive items such as fruits and vegetables in a compartment
when it is set to CHILL MODE. Cold temperatures may result in damage such as chill or
freezing injury.
Items stored in your freezer
z
We recommend cooling carbonated beverages only when the BOTTLE CHILL
function isactive.
z
Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer.
Failure toremove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood
ofbottle/canexplosion.
z
Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and
prevent freezer burn.
z
To maintain freshness and quality, we recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator.
These foods should not be in contact with fresh foods. Ensure partially or fully defrosted
foods are never re-frozen – cook immediately.
