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 an insulated cool bag when
shopping, and load food in the
appliance as soon as possible.

Storing food correctly

Food should generally be stored
covered or packaged in the
refrigerator section. This will prevent
food smells from affecting other food,
food from drying out, and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. This is
especially important for storing protein-
based food such as meat or fish.
The storage time of food can be
increased by setting the correct
temperature and maintaining good
standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the fruit and vegetable drawer.
Protein rich food
Please note that food rich in protein
deteriorates faster than other types of
food. Shellfish, for example,
deteriorates faster than fish, and fish
deteriorates faster than meat.
