Cakes containing cream and other kinds
of pastry products can be stored in the
LongFresh compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the LongFresh
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.
• Vegetables which have to be stored
at room temperature like tomatoes,
potatoes, onions, and garlic.
• The types of food not mentioned
above should be stored in the
refrigerator compartment (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 compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in
the LongFresh compartment for up to
two days.
• 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.
• Any type of food, fruit, vegetable or
animal food shall always be packed or
wrapped up before storage.
• 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
LongFresh 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 LongFresh
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
