A high air humidity keeps leafy
vegetables fresh for longer. Vegetables
and fruit should be stored at a slightly
lower air humidity.
The air humidity in the vegetable drawer
depends on the amount of stored food.
Note
If the air humidity is too high, drips may
form and cause decay.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment
■
To store deep-frozen food.

To freeze food.
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly. If
the door is open, the frozen food will
thaw. The freezer compartment will
become covered in thick ice. Also: waste
of energy due to high power
consumption!
