If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed, and store upright. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door. Food must not touch the back wall of the appliance, as it may freeze to the back wall. Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator.

Parmesan 16 Using the refrigerator efficiently Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers. However, you should bear in mind that some types of vegetables give off a natural gas which speeds up the rate at which food perishes. Some fruit and vegetables react strongly to this gas and should not be stored together. Examples of fruit which produce a large amount of this natural gas are: Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears and figs. Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. 17 Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf at the front, pull it out half way, and then lift it out. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position.
