Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food
in the appliance.
Coldest area
The coldest area in a refrigerator is
directly above the vegetable
containers.
Use this for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Depending on model, the zone for
delicate food is either
- right at the bottom between the arrow
embossed on the side wall inside the
refrigerator and the shelf below, or
- between the two arrows.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Do not allow grease or oil from foods
placed in the refrigerator to spill or
come into contact with plastic
surfaces. Do not store cooking oil in
the refrigerator door. Traces of oil
can cause stress cracks to occur in
the plastic components in the door.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance as it may freeze to the
back wall.
