Storing food in the refrigerator section

Notes on buying food

The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important factor for how long it stays
fresh.
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.

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the
refrigerator section is in packaging or
covered properly (some exceptions
apply in the MasterFresh zone). This will
prevent food odours from affecting
other food, food from drying out and
also any cross-contamination of
bacteria. This is particularly important
when storing meat products. Make sure
that food such as raw meat and fish in
particular does not come into contact
with other food.
By ensuring that the temperature
settings are correct and by taking
appropriate hygiene measures you can
prolong the storage life of your food
considerably and avoid food waste.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawer.
