FOOD STORAGE TIPS 
 
 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 to the lamp, or block the cover or the cooling compartment.
The table below is a quick guide, showing you the most efficient way to store the major food groups 
in your refrigerator  compartment.

The Freezer Compartment:
 
 
You should use the freezer compartment of your Fridge Freezer 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 4.2 kg/24 hrs.
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.
