Storing Foods • Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment . How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor . • Do not store food which spoils easily at low temperatures , such as bananas and melons . • Allow hot rood to cool prior to storing , placing hot rood in the refrigerator could spoil other rood , and leadto higher energy consumption . • When storing the rood , cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid . This prevents moisture from evaporating , and helps rood to keep its taste and nutrients . • Do not block air vents with rood . Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even . • Do not open the door frequently . Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator , and cause temperatures to rise . • Never keep too much food in door rack becausethey may push against by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed . Freezer • Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen . Compartment • Do not refreeze rood that has been thawed . This causes loss of taste and nutrient . • When storing frozen rood like ice cream for a long period , place it on the freezer shelf , not in the door rack . • Do not touch the cold foods or containers - especially made of metallic - , with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment . - That's why you may havechilblainsandthey may be broken when their inner matters arefrozen , causingpersonal injury , Refrigerator • Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves , it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air . Compartment • Always clean rood prior to refrigeration . Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped , and packed rood should be wiped , to prevent adjacent rood from spoiling . • When storing eggs in their storage rackor box , ensure that they are fresh , and always store them in an upright position , which keeps them fresh longer .
