Correct Storage
For physical reasons, there are different temperature
regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the low-
est storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage
shelf, the vegetable basket and the storage compart-
ments on the door. The arrangement example shows
at which places in the refrigerator suitable tempera-
tures for various types of foods exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or
packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other
food.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the
compressor is running, and defrosts when the com-
pressor is off.
The water from the thawing frost is collected in the
drain channel on the rear of the fridge, feed through
the drain hole into the collector on the compressor,
and then evaporated.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly
(see the section "Cleaning and Maintenance".
