What to be aware of when
shopping for food
The food's freshness when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important factor in determining how
long it will remain fresh and how long it
can be kept in the appliance.
Be sure to observe the best-before date
and the correct storage temperature.
Time outside of refrigerated storage
should be kept to a minimum. For
example, do not allow food to stay in a
hot car for too long.
Tip: Take a cooler bag with you when
shopping and place all cold food imme-
diately in the refrigerator and freezer
upon arriving home.
Storing food correctly
As a rule, food should only be stored
covered or packaged
in the
refrigerator. This will prevent food
smells from affecting other foods, keep
food from drying out and also stop any
cross-contamination of bacteria. This is
especially important when storing
animal products.
The shelf life of food can be
significantly increased by setting the
correct temperature and maintaining
good standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables can be stored
without packaging in the fruit and
vegetable trays (depending on model)
or the fruit and vegetable drawer
(depending on model).
High-protein foods
Please note that foods that are high in
protein spoil faster than those which are
not.
Shellfish, for example, spoils faster than
fish, and fish goes bad more quickly
than meat.
