Cakes containing cream and
other kinds of pastry products
can be stored in the VitaSafe
compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the
VitaSafe 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.
• The types of food not mentioned above
should be stored in the refrigerator
compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese,
cold cuts, etc.)
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 VitaSafe compartment is also suitable
for slow thawing of food. In this case the
thawed food can be stored in the VitaSafe
compartment for up to two days.

• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date.
Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will
depend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always
be packed or wrapped up before
storage.
• 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
VitaSafe 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 VitaSafe
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.
