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 (some exceptions apply in the-
MasterFresh zone). This will prevent
food smells 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 foods
such as raw meat and fish in particular
do not come into contact with other
food.
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.
