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

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
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.
