Storing food in the refrigerator section
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 a cool bag when shopping,
and load food in the appliance as soon
as possible.

Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the refrigera-
tor section is in packaging or covered
properly. This will prevent food smells
from affecting other foods, food from
drying out, and also any cross-contami-
nation of bacteria. This is especially im-
portant 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.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawers.
Protein-rich food
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish,
for example, deteriorates faster than
fish, and fish deteriorates faster than
meat.
