~ Fig. !/X
The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. A high air humidity keeps
leafy vegetables fresh for longer. Fruit
and vegetables should be stored at a
slightly lower air humidity.
Notes
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g.
■
pineapple, banana, papaya and
citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers,
zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and
potatoes) should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures of
approx. +8 °C - +12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
Condensation may form in the
■
vegetable container depending on
the food and quantity stored.
Remove condensation with a dry
cloth.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:
F r e e z e r c o m p a r t m e n t
storing frozen food
■
making ice cubes
■
freezing food
■
The temperature in the freezer
compartment depends on the
temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.
The freezer compartment can be used
to store perishable foods long-term
almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavour and
all valuable ingredients are largely
retained.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on the following factors:
set temperature
■
type of food
■
amount of food in the freezer
■
compartment
quantity and type of storage
■

Maximum freezing capacity

The maximum freezing capacity
indicates the quantity of food that can
be frozen solid within 24 hours.
Information about the maximum freezing
capacity can be found on the rating
plate.
