Hints
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food,
especially on the expir y date. Quality and
freshness influence the storage time.
• Foods, and especially salad, must be kept well
covered or packaged in such a way that they do
not dry out and that their flavours and fragrances
remain unchanged.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This
means seafood will spoil before fish which in turn
will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C
compartment storage time for that kind of food can
be increased by up to three times as well without
loss on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be
taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30 min before
consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to
be consumed without any additional cooking
process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to
room temperature will improve the texture and
flavour.
• The level of air humidity in the drawers depends
on the content of humidity in the stored food,
vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door
opening.
• The 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow
thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can
be stored in the 0°C compartment for up to two
days.
Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry
products can be stored in the 0°C compartment for 2
or 3 days.
