Storing food in the refrigerator section
What to be aware of when
shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is the most important
factor in determining how long it stays
fresh, and how long it can be kept in the
appliance.
Always observe the use-by date and
the recommended storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator should be
kept to a minimum, for example, when
transporting food in a hot car.
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when
shopping and on return place food into
the appliance immediately.

Storing food correctly
Food should generally be stored
covered or packaged in the refrigerator
section (there are some exceptions to
this rule in the PerfectFresh Pro zone).
This prevents food smells from affecting
other foods, food from drying out, and
also any cross-contamination. This is
especially important when you are
storing animal products.
The storage life of food can be
significantly increased by setting the
correct temperature and maintaining
good standards of hygiene.
