Hints
• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry 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 “Natura fresh” 0°C
compartment is also suitable for
slow thawing of food. In this case
the thawed food can be stored in
the “Natura fresh” 0°C
compartment for up to two days.
Not to be placed in the “Natura
fresh” 0°C compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be
stored at cellar or room
temperature like pineapple,
bananas, grapefruit, melons,
mango, papaya, oranges, lemons,
kiwi fruit.
