Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise. 12 SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen. Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition. When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack. REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container. Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer. The following table indicate the good direction to store food on refrigerator. However, the “freshness” of the food is affected storing time. FRESH FOOD DIRECTION STORING TIME Fresh meat Clean and release off the binder. 4-5 days Chopped meat Release off the binder. 1-2 days Smoked meat Store in original package. Fresh Fish Wrap tightly by alumunium foil or plastic film. 1-2 days Cooked Fish Wrap tightly. 3-4 days Chicken Clean the body cavity and tight off the binder.
