1. Do not add food to the Fridge until it has reached the correct internal temperature.
2. Do not place hot food directly into the Fridge or Freezer, as this will create moisture and will heat up other food adjacent to the hot food, also the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and this will consume more energy.
3. Ensure there is a clear airflow around the food as this will restrict the air circulation.
4. Top and middle Shelves. Ready-to-eat foods, such as dairy products, ready meals and packaged foods, leftovers, cooked meats and prepared salads. Ready-to-eat foods are stored at the top of the fridge, away from raw foods so that harmful bacteria cannot transfer from raw to cooked food.
5. Bottom Shelf. Raw meat, poultry and fish in sealed containers to stop them touching or dripping onto other foods. Raw meats should always be stored at the bottom of your fridge to prevent cross-contamination.
6. Salad Drawers. Fruit, vegetables and salad vegetables. Make sure that your fruit, vegetables and salad are wrapped in paper or plastic with air holes to keep them protected from any contamination.
