Practical tips
Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are dif-
ferent temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber.
• The coldest area is directly above the vegetables drawers. Use this
area for all delicate and highly perishable food e.g.:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Sausage products, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures
- Pre-packed vegetable and other fresh food with a label stating it should
be kept at a temperature of approx 4
O
C.
• The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing
butter and cheese.
Food that should not be stored in a refrigerator
• Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator, particularly:
- Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas,
avocado, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cu-
cumbers.
- Fruit which is not yet ripe
- Potatoes
Warning:
Example of storing the food - see figure 12.
To achieve the most effective food preservation for the longest possible
time and to avoid wasting any food, position the products as shown in
Figure 12. In addition, this figure illustrates the layout of drawers, bas -
kets and shelves, which allows the most efficient use of energy.
Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product shelf
life and optimize electricity consumption. Optimal storage temperature
range should be stated on the food product packaging.
