Notes on buying food

The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh,
and how long it can be kept in the
appliance.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.
transporting food in a warm car, should
be kept to a minimum.
Tip: Take an insulated cool bag when
shopping, and load food in the
appliance as soon as possible.

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 -
see below). This will prevent food
smells from affecting other foods, food
from drying out, and also any cross-
contamination of bacteria. This is
especially important for storing protein-
based food such as meat or fish.
The growth of bacteria, such as
salmonella, can be avoided by setting
the correct temperature and maintaining
good standards of hygiene.
