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 a 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 in packaging or covered properly (some exceptions apply in theMasterFresh zone). This will prevent food smells from affecting other food, food from drying out, and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. This is particularly important when storing meat products.

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 a 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 in packaging or
covered properly (some exceptions
apply in theMasterFresh zone). This will
prevent food smells from affecting other
food, food from drying out, and also
any cross-contamination of bacteria.
This is particularly important when
storing meat products. Make sure that
foods such as raw meat and fish in
particular do not come into contact with
other food.
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 vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawer.
