If the refrigerating appliance is left
empty for long periods, switch off,
defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door
open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
• Fill the fridge in such a way that the tem-
perature conditions inside are used to
their full potential:
– Place spreadable butter and cheese on
the upper large door shelf (3) The tem-
perature is highest there.
– Store jam, glass jars and eggs in the
door shelves (3). Use the egg shelf to
store the eggs.
– Place drink cartons and bottles in the
door shelves (3). To reduce the load of
the door hinges, place full containers
closer to the door hinge.
– Store small bottles and tubes in the door
shelves (3).
– Place cooked and baked foods on the
glass shelves (12).
– Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon,
sausage and raw fish on the glass cov-
er (11) directly above the fruit/vegetable
drawers (4). This is where the tempera-
ture is lowest.
– Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the
fruit/vegetable drawers (4).
• Store strong alcohol only standing upright
and closed tightly.
• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in
the fridge.
• If you intend to refill the fridge with large
amounts of food, set “Quick refrigerating”
about 2 hours before you fill it.
If you intend to refill the fridge with
large amounts of food, set “Quick
refrigerating” about 2.5 hours before
you fill it (see page EN-17).
Maintaining quality
• To maintain the flavour and freshness of
food in the fridge, only place packaged
food in the fridge.
Use special plastic containers for food or
customary films.
• Place the food
– in the fridge in a way that allows the air to
circulate freely. Do not cover the shelves
with paper or anything similar;
– and not directly against the rear wall.
Otherwise it may freeze onto the rear
wall.
