and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing it in the
appliance.

down before placing them in the
refrigerator compartment.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the arrow
stamped on the side and the shelf
underneath.
~ Fig. '
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
Note:
sausages and meat) in the coldest
zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of
the door and in the lower vegetable
container.
Store e.g. hard cheese and
Note:
butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can
continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable container

~ Fig. !/P
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.

■
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.

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
■

■
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
