Refrigerators

• Take a look at the temperature control/thermostat; it should be turned to 'ON' position.
• Then make sure that the power cord/cable is plugged into the working electrical wall socket.
• It is better to check the appropriate circuit breakers or fuse of the fuse box and reset if necessary.
• The required voltage may not be available
• If all above is checked and you feel that the same is in OK condition then it may be that the refrigerator has gone into defrost mode.

• KEEPING VEGETABLES FROM DRYING IN THE REFRIGERATOR To keep vegetables from turning brown or becoming "soft" or dry in the refrigerator, storage guidelines should be followed carefully. Below given are some storage tips to help maximize vegetable storage.
• STORE VEGETABLES IN VEGETABLE TRAYS/CRISPERS To keep vegetables from turning brown or becoming "soft"or dry in the refrigerator, storage guidelines should be followed carefully. Below given are some storage tips to help maximize vegetable storage.
• WRAP CERTAIN VEGETABLES To keep vegetables from turning brown or becoming "soft" or dry in the refrigerator, storage guidelines should be followed carefully. Below given are some storage tips to help maximize vegetable storage.
• REMOVE EXCESS WATER Vegetables need a certain amount of moisture to remain fresh as long as possible. However, too much moisture can reduce the life of vegetables, especially lettuce. Brown spots may develop with excess moisture. It is necessary to note that lettuce be well drained before storing. It may be better to keep a layer of paper towels in the bottom of the bag to absorb any excess moisture; replace them occasionally.
• CONSIDER VEGETABLE QUALITY Vegetable quality affects the length of storage period. Quality can vary from item to item, variety to variety and season to season. Sort vegetables before storage and use soft vegetables first. Discard that showing evidence of decay.
• FRUITS AND VEGETABLES STORAGE Crisper/Vegetable tray is designed for storing fruit and vegetable. It traps moisture to help keep foods fresh. Controls on some crisper/vegetable tray regulate the humidity level in it. As a general rule, vegetables need high humidity while most fruits require low humidity.
  Sort fruits and vegetables before storing. Beaten or crushed pieces decay more quickly and contaminate good pieces. Wrap odourous foods such as onions.

• Fresh meat, luncheon meat and cheese should be stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator to extend storage time. A temperature control/air control adjusts the amount of cold air entering the freezer.

• Most dairy foods have freshness dates on their cartons, so you know how long you can safely store them. These foods should be refrigerated immediately upon purchase and use, each time. Close cartons tightly to keep out air and odors.
• At times, fungus develops on the top surface of cheese. Cut off at least 25 mm around and below the spoiled area. The remaining cheese will still be flavourful and safe to eat. Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese, paneer, cream, sour cream, or yogurt when fungus appears.

• Corked wines could be stored in a horizontal position to prevent the cork from drying and shrinking. Storing wine bottles in an upright position lets air into the wine causing it to spoil.

Bacteria causes food critic illness increase at temperatures of 4 - 60℃. Three general rules to follow to help keep your food safe:

• Keep Foods Clean - Handle food with clean hands. Keep the refrigerator interior clean to stop contamination.
• Keep Foods Hot - Once food is cooked, it must be kept hot (above 60℃) until serving. Bacterial growth increases greatly when cooked foods remain at room temperature for longer than two hours. Avoid cooling leftovers on the counter before refrigerating.
• Keep Foods Cold - Refrigerator and freezer temperatures do not kill bacteria but, will slow its growth. Colder the food, the slower is bacteria growth.

• How to prepare food before putting it in the freezer?
  

  When freezing foods, use a freezer wrap that is air/moisture/vapor-proof, such as freezer bags, aluminum foil or select airtight containers. Force as much air out of packages or containers as possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to dry out.

  Fresh meats and poultry can be left in the original store wrapping when freezing for less than 2 weeks. For longer freezer storage, wrap additionally with a suitable freezer wrap.

  The refrigerator freezer compartment should be lower than -15℃ with an optimum temperature of -13℃. Check the temperature by placing appropriate thermometer between two frozen items. Read after a day. If needed, adjust the temperature/air control setting and check the temperature after another day.

• Is there a correct way to load the freezer?
  

  Actually, yes! You should avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer. This slows the rate of freezing and can raise the temperature of already frozen foods. The result is lower food quality. Put packages in the coldest part of the freezer first (against the walls or bottom of the compartment). Leave space between packages for cold air circulation.

  Also, avoid storing hard-to-freeze items such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature variation is minimum with door openings.

• What To Do when Your Refrigerator Stops Working?
  

  You won't necessarily have to throw out all your food! But in the event of a power failure or appliance malfunction, you may need to take steps to ensure the safety of perishable foods. If the power will be restored or a service technician can repair it within a few hours, don't worry - just ensure to keep the doors closed. After the refrigerator begins working again, examine the food. Meat or poultry that still contains ice crystals may be refrozen. Completely thawed foods should be cooked. After cooking, they can be frozen again. If you have any other question which is not covered above. You can e-mail your question at this address & we will be happy to send you our response by mail.

  SOLUTION: Check for power supply. / Push plug into wall socket proper.

• PROBLEM CAUSE: Refrigerator is not level.

  SOLUTION: Be sure the floor is leveled and can adequately support Refrigerator. Adjust the leveling legs or rollers as needed.

• It is perfectly normal for the other door to open and close because it is caused by the air pressure inside the refrigerator.

  Between the freezer and refrigerator, there is a path for cold air to travel. When one door is opened and closed, the outside air and the pressure inside the fridge are pushed to the other side and this can push the other door to open up a little and close back.

So the question around this should be-

• Does the door closes properly after it was pushed open?

If the freezer door stays open:

• Check the leveling legs. The front of the refrigerator should be slightly higher than the back to allow the door to close normally. When properly adjusted, the door will close smoothly and firmly on its own. To know how to adjust the leg check this video - //youtu.be/3P1GWNYzfIs
• Check to see if the refrigerator door gasket is sealing properly. If not, clean the gasket. All refrigerator door gaskets are designed to rub against the face of the refrigerator as they close. Keeping the gaskets clean and lubricated prevents them from dragging and restricting door closure.
• Place heavier items in the freezer door shelf, since this is the smaller door and is more likely to pop open.
• Make sure there is nothing in the freezer or refrigerator that is preventing a door from closing tightly.

Another hack around this is to apply Vaseline on gasket; Vaseline, or petroleum jelly, can softens gasket so that it will form a good seal around the door of your refrigerator.

• Take a look at the temperature control/thermostat; it should be turned to 'ON' position.
