Storing food in the refrigerator

When shopping for 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
refrigerator. Always observe the use-by
date and the recommended storage
temperature. Time out of the
refrigerator, e.g. during transportation,
should be kept to a minimum. For
example, do not allow food to stay in a
hot car for too long.
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when
shopping and on return place food into
the appliance immediately.

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored
covered or packaged. This will prevent
food smells from affecting other food,
food from drying out, and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. This is
particularly important for protein-based
foods such as meat or fish.
The growth of bacteria, such as
salmonella, can be avoided by setting
the correct temperature and
maintaining good standards of hygiene.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable
containers or drawers (depending on
model).

Protein rich foods

Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
