What To Be Aware Of When Shopping For Food; Storing Food Correctly - Miele KFN 37232 iD Operating And Installation Instructions

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 in the refrigerator section

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored cov-
ered or packaged in the refrigerator
section. This will prevent food smells
from affecting other food, food from
drying out, and also any cross-contami-
nation of bacteria. This is especially im-
portant for storing protein-based food
such as meat or fish.
The growth of bacteria, such as salmo-
nella, can be avoided by setting the
correct temperature and maintaining
good standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawer.
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.
