Storing food in the fridge zone
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is
directly above the PerfectFresh Pro
zone dividing plate and at the back of
the appliance. The temperature in the
PerfectFresh Pro zone compartments is
even colder.
A temperature setting of 4 °C com-
bined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food pois-
oning.
Therefore, you should use these areas
in the fridge zone and in the
PerfectFresh Pro zone to store all delic-
ate and highly perishable food, includ-
ing:
- 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
- Hummus, vegetable spreads, plant-
based cream cheese substitutes
- Pre-packed vegetables
- Other fresh food (with a label stating
it should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C)

Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
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, con-
sistency, flavour and/or vitamin content
may be altered if stored at too cold a
temperature.
Food which is sensitive to cold in-
cludes:
- 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, moun-
tain cheese)
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 refrigerator, e.g. trans-
porting food in a warm car, should be
kept to a minimum.
