Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
Storing food
■
Store fresh, undamaged food. The
quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
■
In the case of ready-made products
and bottled goods, observe the best-
before date or use-by date specified
by the manufacturer.
■
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
Avoid contact between food and rear
panel. Otherwise the air circulation will
be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to
the rear panel.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■
Coldest zone is between
the vegetable container and the glass
shelf situated above. Fig.
$
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone
above the vegetable container.
■
Warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
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.
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!
