Storing food in the appliance

Making use of different temperature
zones
The circulation of air within the refrigerator section gives
rise to different temperature zones.
The coldest zones are up against the rear wall and
D
just above the bottom shelf.
The warmest zone is at the very top, in front of the
D
door.
Keep items such as cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. This will mean that butter remains
easy to spread.

Please note

Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This
will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of the food.
In addition, flavours will not be transferred between foods
and the plastic parts will not become discoloured.
