Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
Storing food
■
Store fresh, undamaged food. The
quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
■
In the case of ready-made products
and bottled goods, observe the best-
before date or use-by date specified
by the manufacturer.
■
To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
■
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
Note
Avoid contact between food and rear
panel. Otherwise the air circulation will
be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to
the rear panel.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■
Coldest zone
is on the rear panel inside
the appliance and in the chiller
container. Fig. !/14
Note
Store perishable food e.g. fish,
sausage, meat in the coldest zones.
■
Warmest zone
is at the very top of the door.
Note
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.
Vegetable container with
humidity controller
Fig. &
To create the optimum storage climate
for fruit and vegetables, you can set the
air humidity in the vegetable container
depending on the quantity stored:
■
smaller quantities of fruit and
vegetables – high air humidity
■
large quantities of fruit and vegetables
– low air humidity
