STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards has a decisive impact on the quality of food storage. Observe the expiry dates for the food, specified on the packaging.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRESHZONE DRAWER In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients. Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and natural longer. For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.
STORING FOOD IN THE ZEROZONE DRAWER The ZeroZone compartment allows storing a wide variety of fresh food for up to three times longer than in a conventional refrigerator. The food stays fresh longer, retaining the flavour and nutrients. The temperature in this drawer depends on the temperature settings in the refrigerator compartment, environment temperature, frequency of door opening, and amount of food placed in it.
