Storing food in the fridge zone
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is
directly above the DailyFresh drawer
and at the back of the appliance.
A temperature setting of 4 °C
combined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food
poisoning.
Therefore, you should use these areas
to store all delicate and highly
perishable food, including:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products
- Pre-packed vegetables
- Other fresh food (with a label stating
it should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C)
Tip: Store food in such a way that it
does not touch the rear wall of the
fridge zone. Otherwise it could freeze to
the rear wall.

Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator
section
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5 °C, because it
may be sensitive to cold. Depending on
the type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavour and/or vitamin
content may be altered if stored at too
cold a temperature.
Food which is sensitive to cold
includes:
- Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruit
such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruit
- Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes,
peppers, tomatoes, courgettes
- Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan,
mountain cheese)
Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first
placed in the appliance is the most
important factor for how long it stays
fresh.
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.
