Ensure that when placing food in the

refrigerator, a gap of at least 35 mm

is maintained under the ceiling of

the appliance to enable the air to

circulate freely.

Only use the area to the front of the

refrigerator shelves to place food

temporarily, but do not leave it there,

as when you shut the door it may

get pushed over, causing spillages.

Food which should not be

stored in a refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration

at temperatures below 5 °C.

Cucumbers, for example, become

glassy, eggplants bitter and potatoes

sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their

aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits

hardens.

Foods which are sensitive to cold

include:

–

Pineapples, avocados, bananas,

pomegranates, mangoes, melons,

papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruits

such as lemons, oranges,

mandarines, grapefruits

–

Fruit which is not yet ripe

–

Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,

capiscum, tomatoes, zucchini

–

Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan

What to be aware of when

shopping for food

The freshness of food when first placed

in the appliance is the most important

factor in determining how long it stays

fresh, and how long it can be kept in

the appliance. Time out of the

refrigerator, e.g. during transportation,

should be kept to a minimum. For

example, do not allow food to stay in a

hot car for too long. Once food has

started to deteriorate, this process

cannot be reversed. As little as two

hours outside the refrigerator can

cause food to start deteriorating.

Tip: Take a cool bag when shopping

and place all cold food immediately in

the refrigerator and freezer upon arrival

home.

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored

covered or packaged in the refrigerator

section (there are some exceptions to

this rule in the MasterFresh zones - see

below). This will prevent food smells

from affecting other foods, food from

drying out, and also any

cross-contamination of bacteria. This is

especially important for storing animal

products.

The shelf life of food can be

significantly increased by setting the

correct temperature and maintaining

good standards of hygiene.
