Storing food in the refrigerator section
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5°C as some
food is sensitive to cold. The appear-
ance, consistency, taste and / or the vit-
amin content of certain types of food
can be adversely affected by being
stored in too cold a place.
Food which does not tolerate cold tem-
peratures includes:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits
(such as lemons, oranges, mandar-
ins, grapefruit),
– Fruit which is not yet ripe
– Aubergines/eggplant, cucumbers,
potatoes, peppers/capsicum, toma-
toes, courgettes/zucchini,
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.

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