■
To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
■
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
Note
Do not block air outlet openings with
food, otherwise the air circulation will be
impaired. Food which is stored directly
in front of the air outlet openings may be
frozen by the cold air flowing out.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■
Coldest zone is in the upper area
of the refrigerator compartment.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■
Warmest zone is at the very bottom
of the door and in the vegetable
container.
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter
in the warmest zone. Cheese can then
continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container

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 make ice cubes.
■
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!
