Storing food in the refrigerator section
38
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 in packaging or covered prop-
erly (some exceptions apply in the
DailyFresh drawer). This will prevent
food odours from affecting other food,
stop food from drying out and also pre-
vent any cross-contamination of bac-
teria. This is particularly important when
storing meat products. Make sure that
food such as raw meat and fish in par-
ticular 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. This prevents food waste.
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.
