Correct storage

For physical reasons, the refrigera-

tor compartment has different

temperature zones. The coldest

zone is on the lowest storage shelf

immediately above the fruit and

vegetable drawers. Warmer zones are

the upper storage shelves and

door racks. The arrangement (see

fig.) indicates where different

types of food are best stored to

make the most of temperature

variations.

For instance, the shelf immedia-

tely above the fruit and vegetable

drawers should be 5 °C for safe

storage of meat and fish products.

In order to check that the

appliance is at 5 °C on the lowest

shelf you can carry out the follo-

wing test yourself:

0 Place a cup of water in the centre of the said shelf with a thermometer

inside.

0 Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first

thing in the morning.

0 At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does,

you need to adjust the temperature regulator to a colder setting.

For further information on keeping food cool and safe a guide

published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is available

and can be obtained free of charge by contacting:

Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator compartment should always be cov-

ered or packed so that they do not dry out, lose their flavour, or trans-

fer their flavour to any other refrigerated food. The following are

suitable for packing:

– polyethylene bags;

– plastic containers with lids;

– special plastic covers with rubber retainers;

– aluminium foil.
