1) The riper the fruit, the shorter the storage time
Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the longfresh
0°C compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the longfresh 0°C compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineapple,
bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compart
-
ment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)
The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored
food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening
The longfresh 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the
thawed food can be stored in the longfresh 0°C compartment for up to two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and
freshness influence the storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to
the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which
in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for
that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30
min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any
additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature
will improve the texture and flavour.
