Food which is not suitable for
storing in the refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for storing in a
refrigerator at temperatures below 5°C
as some food is sensitive to cold.
The appearance, consistency, taste
and / or the vitamin content of certain
types of food can be adversely affected
by being stored in too cold a place.
Food which does not tolerate cold
temperatures includes:
–
Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangos, melons,
papayas, passion fruit,
citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges,
mandarins, grapefruit),
– Fruit which is not yet ripe,
– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumber,
potatoes, peppers/capiscum,
tomatoes, courgettes/zucchini,
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.
When shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh,
and how long it can be kept in the
refrigerator.
Always observe the use-by date and
recommended storage temperature.
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. during
transportation, should be kept to a
minimum. For example, do not allow
food to stay in a hot car for too long.
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when
shopping and on return place food into
the appliance immediately.
