Storing Food

Food Preservation Location

CAUTION

NOTE

.

Each compartment inside the refrigerator is designed to store different types of food. Store your food

in the optimal space to enjoy the freshest taste.

Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could

come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.

Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. If necessary, rinse and thoroughly pat dry vegetables

and fruit to remove obvious soil, juice, or blemished areas, and wipe down food packaging to prevent

adjacent foods from being contaminated.

If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of

vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a

clean cloth or a paper towel.

If the refrigerator door or freezer door is opened too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator

and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.

Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or

personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.

Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen and break the

container, causing risk of injury.

If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left

on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.

If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and

unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in

the refrigerator.

Food Storage Tips

Food How To

Freezing

Packaging

The following tips may not be applicable depending

on the model.

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and

moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted.

This prevents food odor and taste transfer

throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,

check date code to ensure freshness.

Keep opened butter in a covered dish

or closed compartment. When

storing an extra supply, wrap in a

freezer packaging and freeze.

Store in the original wrapping until

you are ready to use it. Once

opened, rewrap tightly in plastic

wrap or aluminum foil.

Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk,

place containers on an interior shelf.

Store in original carton on interior

shelf, not on door bin.

Do not wash or hull the fruit until it is

ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit

in its original container, in a crisper,

or store in a completely closed paper

bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Remove store wrapping and trim or

tear off bruised and discolored areas.

Wash in cold water and drain. Place

in plastic bag or plastic container and

store in crisper.

Place in plastic bags or plastic

container and store in crisper.

Store fresh fish and shellfish in the

freezer section if they are not being

consumed the same day of

purchase. It is recommended to

consume fresh fish and shellfish the

same day purchased.

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or

aluminum foil, or store in plastic

containers with tight lids.

Butter or

Margarine

Cheese

Milk

Eggs

Fruit

Leafy

Vegetables

with skin

(carrots,

peppers)

Fish

Leftovers

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of

food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer

than will freeze within 24 hours [no more than 2 lbs

(0,9 kg) to 3 lbs (1,3 kg) of food per cubic foot of

freezer space]. Leave enough space in the freezer

for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to

leave enough room at the front so the door can close

tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and

type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used

(how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage

temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package

are normal. This simply means that moisture in the

food and air inside the package have condensed,

creating ice crystals.

NOTE

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for

30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot

foods before freezing saves energy.

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.

When you close and seal the package, it must not

allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could

have food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging Recommendations:

Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.

Do not use:



Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids.

Straight-sided canning/freezing jars.

Heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Plastic-coated paper.

Non-permeable plastic wraps.

Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags.

Bread wrappers.

Non-polyethylene plastic containers.

Containers without tight lids.

Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap.

Thin, semi-permeable wrap.



Storing Frozen Food

NOTE

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for

further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times.

Adjusting the Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to

meet your individual storage needs.

Adjusting the shelves to fit items of different heights

will make finding the exact item you want easier.

Doing so will also reduce the amount of time the

refrigerator door is open which will save energy.
