Storing food in the fridge zone
Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most im-
portant factor for how long it stays
fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the fridge, e.g., transporting
food in a warm car, should be kept to a
minimum.

Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the refrigera-
tor section is in packaging or covered
properly. This will prevent food smells
from affecting other food, food from
drying out, and also any cross-contami-
nation of bacteria. This is particularly
important when storing meat products.
Make sure that foods such as raw meat
and fish in particular do not come into
contact with other food.
By ensuring that the temperature set-
tings are correct and by taking appro-
priate hygiene measures, you can pro-
long the storage life of your food con-
siderably.
Fruit and vegetable drawers
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawers.
Protein-rich food
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish,
for example, deteriorates faster than
fish, and fish deteriorates faster than
meat.
