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. 24 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. The rear barrier must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it. The shelf which does not have this rear barrier must always be fitted in the top shelf position. This gives you more flexibility for arranging storage within the refrigerator. (depending on model) Adjusting the door shelves ^ Push the door shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. Moving the bottle divider (depending on model) The bottle divider can be moved to the left or right to ensure that bottles are held securely in position when the door is opened and shut.
