Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can
be found inside your appliance on the
rating plate. Fig. -
Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for ready meals, cakes
and pastries, preserved food, condensed
milk and hard cheese.
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:
■ The coldest zones are on the rear
panel and in the delicatessen
containers. Fig. 3
■ 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.
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.
“Cool-fresh” container
Fig. 1/17
The “cool-fresh” container has a temper-
ature of almost 0 °C and approx. 50 %
air humidity.
This storage climate offers ideal
conditions for storing fish, meat,
sausage, cheese and milk.
