temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.

Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems.

Clean the water tank if it has not
been used for 48 hours; rinse out the

• Combine the drawers, glass shelves and
door shelves as shown in the diagram on
page EN-17 to achieve the most efficient
use of energy for your appliance.
• A temperature setting that is too high or
too low can reduce the shelf life of your
food. This leads to greater food waste.
•
Set the temperature in the fridge to +6 °C
and fill the fridge in such a way that the
temperature conditions inside are opti-
mally utilised, guaranteeing optimal food
storage.
The following tips show you how you can
store foods in your appliance to keep them in
the best possible condition over the longest
possible period. This will mean that you avoid
food waste:
• Store spreadable butter and cheese on
the upper door shelf (3) in the upper sec-
tion of the fridge. This is where the tem-
perature is warmest.
• Store preserves, jars and eggs on the bot-
tom door shelf (3) or on the bottle rack (7)
