Store food in
the appliance
When storing food, comply with
the following:
S 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 trans
ferred between foods and the plastic
parts will not become discoloured.
S Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance!
S Do not block air outlet openings with
food, otherwise the air circulation will be
impaired.
Food which is stored directly in front
of the air outlet openings may be frozen
by the cold air flowing out.
We recommend arranging the food
as follows:
S On the shelves in the refrigerator com
partment:
Bakery products, ready meals,
cold sensitive fruit and vegetables
S In the chiller compartment (cold storage
compartment):
Fish, meat and sausage
S In the door (from top to bottom):
butter, cheese, eggs, tubes, small
bottles, large bottles, milk, juice cartons
S In the freezer compartment:
Frozen food, ice cubes, ice cream
