Note the chill zones in the
refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
The coldest zone is on the partition and
on the shelf for large bottles.
Warmest zone is at the very top of the
door.
Notes
■
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in
the warmest zone. Cheese can then
continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
■
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the ”cool-fresh”
compartment (see chapter The “cool-
fresh” compartment).
The “cool-fresh”
compartment
The temperature in the fridge is about
0 °C. The low temperature and the
optimum moisture provide ideal storage
conditions for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times
longer in the “cool-fresh” compartment
than in the normal cooling zone – for
even longer freshness, nutrient retention
and flavour.
Vegetable container with
humidity controller
Fig. #
The vegetable container is the optimum
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. A humidity controller and
a special seal can be used to adjust the
air humidity in the vegetable container.
The air humidity in the vegetable
container can be set according to the
type and amount of products to be
stored:
■
Mainly fruit as well as for a large load
– lower air humidity
■
Mainly vegetables as well as for
a mixed load or small load – higher air
humidity
Notes
■
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,
banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and
vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.
aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes)
should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures
of approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for
optimum preservation of quality and
flavour.
■
Condensation may form in the
vegetable container depending on the
type and quantity of products stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth
and adjust air humidity in the
vegetable container with the humidity
controller.

and milk.
