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 the 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.
