Usable capacity
You will find the details of the usable capacity on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
Using the entire freezing capacity
To accommodate the maximum quantity of frozen food,
you can remove all of the fittings from inside the
appliance. You can then stack the food directly on the
shelves and the bottom of the freezer compartment.
How to remove and refit the fittings is described in the
section headed Fittings.
Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment is the perfect place for keeping
ready meals, bread and pastries, jams and preserves,
condensed milk and hard cheeses.
When placing food in the fridge, follow
these guidelines:
■
Keep fresh, untouched food in the fridge. In that way
it will keep longer and stay fresher.
■
In the case of ready-made products and packaged
foods and liquids, pay attention to the manufacturer's
specified best-before or use-by date.
■
In order to maintain flavour, colour and freshness,
keep food well packed or covered over. That also
prevents flavours from mixing and the plastic parts
from becoming discoloured in the fridge
compartment.
■
Allow warm food and beverages to cool before
putting them into the appliance.
Note
Keep food from coming into contact with the rear panel.
Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could also become frozen to the
rear panel.
Pay attention to the temperature zones in
the fridge compartment
The air circulation produces different temperature
zones in the fridge compartment:
■
The coldest zones are close to the rear panel.
■
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note
Keep items such as hard cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. That will allow the cheese to continue
developing its flavour and the butter will remain
spreadable.
Fresh food compartment
Food can be kept in the fresh food compartment up to
three times longer than in the normal fridge
compartment – to keep it fresher for longer and retain
its nutritional value and taste.
The temperature can be individually adjusted to suit the
food placed inside. Setting the optimum temperature
and air humidity ensures the ideal storage conditions
for fresh food.
Setting the temperature
Using the selector button, select the type of food that is
in the fresh food compartment.
The LED lights up to show the selection made.
The following foods are unsuitable for
keeping in the fresh food compartment:
■
Fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to the cold
(e.g. pineapples, bananas, papaya and citrus fruits,
aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes
and potatoes) should be stored outside the
refrigerator at temperatures between about +8 °C
and +12 °C in order to keep their flavour and
condition at their best.
The following foods are suitable for
keeping in the fresh food compartment:
■
Fish, seafood, meat, sausage and cold meats, dairy
products, ready meals
■
Vegetables (e.g. carrots, asparagus, celery, leeks,
beetroot, mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower,
sprouts, kohlrabi)
■
Lettuce varieties (e.g. lamb's lettuce, iceberg,
chicory, round lettuce)
■
Herbs (e.g. dill, parsley, chives, basil)
■
Fruit (varieties not sensitive to cold, e.g. apples,
peaches, berries, grapes).

Caution
After power failure or disconnection of the appliance
from the mains, the temperature of the fresh food
compartment must be readjusted.
