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 ap-
pliance.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. trans-
porting food in a warm car, should be
kept to a minimum.
Tip: Take an insulated cool bag when
shopping, and load food in the appli-
ance as soon as possible.

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the refriger-
ator section is in packaging or
covered properly (some exceptions
apply in the DailyFresh drawer). This will
prevent food odours from affecting
other foods, food from drying out, and
also any cross-contamination of bac-
teria. This is particularly important when
storing meat products.
By ensuring that the temperature set-
tings are correct and by taking appro-
priate hygiene measures you can pro-
long the storage life of your food con-
siderably.

Protein-rich food

Please note that food rich in protein de-
teriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example, deterior-
ates faster than fish, and fish deterior-
ates faster than meat.
