The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
8.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compart-
ment
¡
Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡
Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
¡
Store food well wrapped or
covered.
¡
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
8.2 Chill zones in the refriger-
ator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the pull-out
container.
Tip:
Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:
Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
8.3 Cooling capacity
The temperature in the refrigerator
compartment may rise temporarily if
loaded with fairly larger amounts of
food or drinks.
Tip:
Turn the temperature controller
to a higher setting for approx.
seven hours.
