WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to explosions.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with flammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
■
Alcohol should only be stored upright
and tightly sealed.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
Contaminated foods can cause health
problems.
■
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
■
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems.
■
Store raw meat and fish in suitable
containers in the refrigerator, so that
it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
■
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.
Store food correctly

• Fill the fridge compartment in such a way
that the temperature conditions inside are
used to their full potential:
– Place spreadable butter and cheese
high on the top shelves (14) or the small
door shelf (1). It is warmest here.
– Position bottles and drinks cartons in the
bottle compartment in the door shelf (2).
Position full containers closer to the
hinge in order to reduce the strain on
the door.
– Place cooked or baked goods, fresh
meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage
and raw fish at the bottom of the refrig-
erator (4). This is where the temperature
is lowest.
Maintaining quality
• To maintain the flavour and freshness of
food in the fridge compartment, only place
packaged food in the fridge compartment.
Use special plastic food containers or
standard food wrap.
• Place food in a way that allows air to
circulate freely in the refrigerator. Do not
cover the wire rack (5) with paper or any-
thing similar.
• Do not place food directly against the
back wall. Otherwise it may freeze to the
back wall.
