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 between the arrow
stamped on the side and the
glass shelf situated below. Fig.
5
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■
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

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.
This allows fresh fruit and vegetables
to be stored twice as long as with
conventional storage.
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
