Keep food covered or packaged in this compartment with the exception of meat. 90 %, slide the control for the humidity controlled compartment over to the right -. This humidity level is suitable for storing fresh produce such as vegetables, salad, herbs, and seasonal fruit. Store these types of food uncovered in the compartment. Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator. These include: ­ Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado pears, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers ­ Fruit which is not yet ripe ­ Potatoes ­ Some hard cheeses, e. g. Parmesan 16 Using the refrigerator efficiently Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers. However, you should bear in mind that some types of vegetables give off a natural gas which speeds up the rate at which food perishes. Some fruit and vegetables react strongly to this gas and should not be stored together. Examples of fruit which produce a large amount of this natural gas are: Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears and figs. Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. Different types of unpacked meats and vegetables must be kept separate. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped. Protein rich foods Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shell fish for example deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat. Meat Store meat in suitable containers, but uncovered in the low humidity compartment. The surface of the meat will dry out slightly and protect it from bacterial growth thus increasing its storage qualities. To prevent the risk of bacterial contamination keep meat stored in suitable containers and do not let different types of meat come into direct contact with each other. Take food out of the StayFresh zone approx. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature. 17 Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food.
