Storing food in the fridge zone
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products
- Hummus, vegetable spreads, plant-
based cream cheese substitutes
- Pre-packed vegetables
- Other fresh food (with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C)
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the fridge zone
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5 °C, because it
may be sensitive to cold.
Food which is sensitive to cold includes:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruit such
as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruit
- Fruit which is not yet ripe
- Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes,
peppers, tomatoes, courgettes
- Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan,
mountain cheese)
Tip: Alternatively, the variable
temperature zone enables you to use
the freezer zone as an additional fridge
zone. This food can be perfectly stored
in a temperature range between 8 and
14 °C (see "Storing food in the
additional fridge zone – Temperature
range between 8 and 14 °C").

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 fridge
zone is in packaging or covered properly
(some exceptions apply in the
PerfectFresh Active zone).
This will prevent food odours from
affecting other food, stop food from
drying out and also prevent 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. This prevents food
waste.
