Storing food in the refrigerator section
28
Coldest area
The coldest area in the Fridge Zone is
directly above the fruit and vegetable
drawer and at the back of the appli-
ance.
Use these areas to store all delicate and
highly perishable food, e.g.,
– fish, meat, poultry,
– cold cuts, ready-made meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza
dough, or pie dough,
– raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food whose best-before date
requires storage at a temperature of
at least 39°F (4°C).
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 41°F (5°C) be-
cause it is sensitive to cold. Depending
on the type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavor and/or vitamin con-
tent may be altered if stored at too cold
a temperature.
Food that is sensitive to cold includes:
– pineapple, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangos, melons, pa-
paya, passion fruit, citrus fruit (such
as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruit),
– fruit that is not yet ripe,
– eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, pep-
pers, tomatoes, zucchini,
– hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.
What to be aware of when
shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is the most important
factor in determining how long it stays
fresh, and how long it can be kept in the
appliance.
Always observe the use-by date and
the recommended storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator should be
kept to a minimum, for example, when
transporting food in a hot car.
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when
shopping and on return place food into
the appliance immediately.
