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.
Also pay attention to the expiry date
and the correct storage temperature for
each type of food.
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.
Once food has started to deteriorate,
this process cannot be reversed.
Tip: Take a cooler bag when shopping
and place cold food in the refrigerator
and/or freezer immediately on your
arrival home.
Using the refrigerator efficiently

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored
covered or wrapped. This will prevent
food smells from affecting other foods,
food from drying out, and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. This is
especially important for storing animal
products.
The shelf life of food can be
significantly increased by setting the
correct temperature and maintaining
good standards of hygiene.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables may be stored
loose in the vegetable drawers.

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.
