Storing food in the refrigerator section

Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important 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.
transporting food in a warm car, should
be kept to a minimum.
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.
