Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■
Coldest zone is between the arrow
stamped on the side and the glass
shelf situated below. Fig.
#
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■
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.
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.

■
To store deep-frozen food.

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!
The freezer compartment door engages
audibly.
