6. Storing food
6.1 Glass shelves
The temperature is highest on the uppermost shelf, making it a good location for non-
perishable foods, such as prepared meals, cheese and spreadable butter.
The middle compartment is good for dairy products such as yoghurt, milk or cottage cheese.
It is coldest on the lowest glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
. This is ideal for
easily perishable foods such as fish, meat, poultry and seafoods.
You can adjust the height of the glass shelves
to optimally store foods of various sizes.
Remove the glass shelves
by pulling them out towards the front.
6.2 Vegetable drawer
Ideal for storing salad, vegetables and most kinds of fruits. Remove the vegetable drawer
by pulling it out forwards.
6.3 Door compartments
The uppermost door compartment
is the least cool.
The door compartments are particularly well-suited for storing bottled drinks or foods that
only need to be lightly cooled, such as eggs, mustard or spreadable butter.
Use the egg tray
for eggs.
To remove the door compartments
push upwards to unhook and lift out.
Note:
The following should not be stored in the refrigerator: exotic fruits (e.g. pineapple, mango,
papaya), citrus fruits, certain vegetable types (e.g. tomatoes, potatoes) and bread.
Foods should always be stored well packed and evenly throughout the appliance to prevent
drying out or taste transfer.
Do not overload the appliance with food. This could prevent sufficient circulation of the
cooling air.
Allow hot foods to cool down to room temperature before placing them in the fridge.
