Cool-fresh container
The storage climate in the cool-fresh container offers
ideal conditions for storing fish, meat and sausage as
well as fruit and vegetables.

prevent detaching the lid of the cool-fresh container.
Never store fruit and vegetables in a cool-fresh
■
container with meat or fish.
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
■
papaya and citrus fruit), and vegetables sensitive to
cold (e.g. eggplants, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers,
tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. 46 °F
(8 °C) ... 54 °F (12 °C) for optimum preservation of
quality and flavour.
Condensation may form in the cool-fresh container
■
depending on the type and quantity of food stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust
the humidity in the cool-fresh container with the
controls for cool-fresh compartment.

The temperature can be set from –16 °C (3 °F) ...
–24 °C (–11 °F).
The freezer compartment can be used to store
perishable foods for long periods almost without any
noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop deterioration. The
appearance, flavour and all the 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.
