Storing food in the refrigerator section
31
Tip: Store food in such a way that it
does not touch the rear wall of the
fridge zone. Otherwise it could freeze to
the rear wall.
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5°C, because it
may be sensitive to cold. Depending on
the type of food, the appearance, con-
sistency, flavour and/or vitamin content
may be altered if stored at too cold a
temperature.
Food which is sensitive to cold in-
cludes:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit, 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, moun-
tain cheese)
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 refrigerator, e.g. trans-
porting food in a warm car, should be
kept to a minimum.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the fridge
zone is covered or wrapped properly.
This will prevent food odours from af-
fecting other foods, stop food from dry-
ing out and also prevent any cross-con-
tamination of bacteria. This is particu-
larly 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 set-
tings are correct and by taking appro-
priate hygiene measures you can pro-
long the storage life of your food con-
siderably and avoid food waste.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawer.
Protein-rich food
Please note that food rich in protein de-
teriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example, deterior-
ates faster than fish, and fish deterior-
ates faster than meat.
