Food which is not suitable for
storage in the fridge zone
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) be-
cause it is sensitive to cold.
Foods which are sensitive to cold in-
clude:
- pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruits
- fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, pep-
pers, tomatoes, zucchini
- hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)

Notes on buying food

The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most im-
portant factor for how long it stays
fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the fridge, e.g., transporting
food in a warm car, should be kept to a
minimum.
Storing food in the refrigerator section

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the refrigera-
tor section is in packaging or covered
properly (some exceptions apply in the
DailyFresh drawer). This will prevent
food odors from affecting other food,
stop food from drying out, and also pre-
vent any cross-contamination of bacte-
ria. This is particularly important when
storing meat products. Make sure that
food such as raw meat and fish in par-
ticular does 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. This prevents food waste.
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.
