If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is tightly closed, and store upright. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door. StayFresh zone A temperature of between 0 - 3 °C combined with a high humidity level provides the optimum storage conditions for fresh food, enabling it to be kept fresher for longer than in a refrigerator. The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh. The temperature in the StayFresh zone is automatically held at approx. 0 °C. 19 Using the refrigerator efficiently The StayFresh zone is divided into two areas: ­ The dry compartment has a relative humidity level of approx. ­ The humidity controlled compartment has a control for setting the humidity level between 45 % and 90 %. The humidity level will also be affected by the moisture content of the food being stored and how often the compartment is opened. 45 %, slide the control for the humidity controlled compartment over to the left , . This humidity level is suitable for storing particularly delicate food such as fresh fish, shell fish, meat, poultry, sausage, dairy products and salads. 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 20 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.
