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.

This appliance has automatic
dynamic cooling, which helps to
keep an even temperature when the
fan is running, making the difference
between the various zones less
pronounced.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator is
directly above the PefectFresh zone.
However, the PerfectFresh zone is even
colder.

Use these areas in the refrigerator and
in the PerfectFresh zone 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.

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 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 refrigerator, as it may freeze to
the back wall.

To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator. Do not
cover the fan in the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this is essential for
keeping the appliance cool.
