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 im-
portant factor for how long it stays
fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and
the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the fridge, e.g., transporting
food in a warm car, should be kept to a
minimum.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the fridge
zone is in packaging or covered prop-
erly (some exceptions apply in the Mas-
terFresh zone). This will prevent food
smells from affecting other food, food
from drying out, and also any cross-
contamination of bacteria. This is par-
ticularly 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 set-
tings are correct and by taking appro-
priate hygiene measures you can pro-
long the storage life of your food con-
siderably and avoid food waste.
