Storage space
Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par-
tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in
height or removed to optimize the storage space.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shel-
ves/drawers in their original position.
Fridge
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-
ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food
items. You may pack the food with e.g.
Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
Plastic bowl with lid
Special plastic covers with elastic strip
Aluminum foil
Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around
5∼7 degrees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circula-
tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.
The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in
the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing
perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages
at around 2-3 degrees.
About that it becomes less cold. For dairy pro-
ducts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center
of the cooling is just the right temperature at
around 5 degrees.
Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less
cooling. The upper cooling part at around
6-8 degrees could be the right place.
The cooling door is one of the warmest locations.
The upper racks are good location for food that
needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs.
There is space for drinks in the lower door racks.
The vegetable box (depending on the model) is
suitable for fruit and vegetables at a temperature
of around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling
temperature. To ensure that delicate fruits and
vegetables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids
the falling cold.
Freezer
The four-star freezer allows you to store frozen food
at a temperature of -18°C or colder for several
months to produce ice cubes / to freeze fresh food.
CAUTION:
The two-star door rack
with a temperature of -12°C
and colder is only suitable for short-term storage.
Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. During freezing operation, the tempera-
ture of fresh food should be lowered as fast as
possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little
as possible and not to damage the food structure.
Frozen food should be kept in contact with the
bottom of the compartment.
Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.
Storing frozen food
Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in
accordance with the manufacturer’s data. Make
sure the food items do not defrost after purchase
and to store them as fast as possible in the freez-
er.
It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time. The period might vary, so observe the stor-
age information on the packaging of the mer-
chandise.
