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 “Vital & frisch” 0°C
compartment is also suitable for
slow thawing of food. In this case
the thawed food can be stored in
the “Vital & frisch” 0°C
compartment for up to two days.
Not to be placed in the “Vital &
frisch” 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.
