Storing food in the refrigerator section

Notes on buying 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
appliance.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g.
transporting food in a warm car, should
be kept to a minimum.
Tip: Take an insulated cool bag when
shopping, and load food in the
appliance as soon as possible.

Storing food correctly

Ensure that food stored in the
refrigerator section is covered or
wrapped properly. This will prevent
food odours from affecting other foods,
food from drying out, and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. This is
particularly important when storing
meat products.
By ensuring that the temperature
settings are correct and by taking
appropriate hygiene measures you can
prolong the storage life of your food
considerably.

Fruit and vegetable drawers

Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawers.

Protein-rich food

Please note that food rich in protein
deteriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example,
deteriorates faster than fish, and fish
deteriorates faster than meat.
