Important notes:

Use the different cooling zones for
storing food correctly. See the
section on loading examples.

– Food must not touch the back wall of

the appliance. Otherwise it may
freeze to the back wall.

– Do not store explosive materials in

the appliance or any products
containing combustible gas (e.g.
spray cans). Danger of explosion.

– If storing alcohol with a high percent-

age proof, make sure it is tightly
closed, and store upright.

– Hot food and drinks must be cooled

to room temperature before placing
them in the appliance.

– Store food covered or packaged.

This way you will prevent food smells
or tastes from affecting other foods
and prevent food from drying out.
Fruit and vegetables may, however,
be stored loose in the vegetable
containers.

– Do not store groceries too close to

each other. Space should be left
between individual items for air to
circulate.

– Do not keep the door open for too

long when putting food in and taking
it out of the appliance. This will help
save energy.

Food which should not be stored in a
refrigerator

Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.
These include:

– Fruit and vegetables such as

bananas, avocado pears, papaya,
passion fruit, aubergines

– Fruit which is not yet ripe

– Potatoes

Some types of vegetables give off a
natural gas which speeds up the rate at
which food perishes. Some fruit and
vegetables react strongly to this gas
and should not be stored together in
the vegetable containers.

Examples of fruit which produce a
large amount of this natural gas are:

Apples, passion fruit, apricots, pears,
nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado
pears, papayas and figs.

Examples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of fruit
and vegetables are:

Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,
bananas, avocado pears, pears,
nectarines and peaches.
