COMPLIANCE WITH FOOD HYGIENE REGULATIONS
? Clean the inside of the refrigerator frequently using a mild detergent that does not oxidize metal
parts, then rinse with a solution of water and lemon juice or vinegar or any disinfectant product
that is suitable for the refrigerator.
? Rinse the interior and dry with a soft cloth.
? Do not use abrasive products.
Remove all packaging before putting food in the refrigerator (for example, cardboard sleeves of yoghurt
cartons).
Follow these easy tips to avoid cross contamination and incorrect food storage:
? Wrap food products separately to avoid cross contamination.
? Wash your hands before touching food and many times during the preparation of food, if this
means handling various products consecutively, and of course afterwards, before starting to eat, in
accordance with sanitary regulations.
? Do not use cooking utensils again (wooden spoon, chopping board) if they have not been washed
after use.
? Wait for cooked food to cool completely before storing (e.g.: soup).
? Store liquids in closed containers.
? To prevent temperature increases inside the refrigerator, limit the frequency of door opening and
in any case do not leave it open for any longer than is strictly necessary.
? Arrange the food leaving sufficient space around it for the air to circulate.
? Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
STORING FOODSTUFFS IN THE REFRIGERATOR
? Store each foodstuff in the most appropriate zone:
Temperate zone: Beverages, butter, industrial and homemade sauces, cooked cheeses, fresh fruit and
vegetables.
Cool zone: Dairy products, desserts made with milk, fatty foods, fresh cheeses.
Coldest zone: Meat, poultry, fish, cold meats, cooked food, mixed salads, desserts made with eggs or
cream, fresh pasta, tart/pie/pizza dough, fresh products and cheeses made with raw milk, ready to use
