Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator
section is directly above the DailyFresh
drawer and at the back of the
appliance.
A temperature setting of 4 °C
combined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food
poisoning.
Therefore, you should use these areas
to store all delicate and highly
perishable food, including:
- fish, meat, poultry
- sausage products, ready meals
- dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
- soft cheese and other dairy products
- pre-packed vegetables
- other fresh food (with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C)
Useful tip: Store food in such a way
that it does not touch the rear wall of
the refrigerator section. Otherwise it
could freeze to the rear wall.
Storing food in the refrigerator section
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5 °C because it
is sensitive to cold.
Foods which are sensitive to cold
include:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit and citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges,
mandarines, grapefruits
- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,
capsicums, tomatoes, zucchini
- Hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan,
mountain cheese
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.
