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 drawers.
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.
