Storing Food; Vegetable Container; Freezer Compartment; Use The Freezer Compartment - Siemens KI V Serie Gebrauchsanleitung

Storing food

Store fresh, undamaged food. The
■
quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
In the case of ready-made products
■
and bottled goods, observe the best-
before date or use-by date specified
by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour
■
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
■
down before placing in the appliance.
Note
Avoid contact between food and rear
panel. Otherwise the air circulation will
be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to
the rear panel.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
Coldest zone is between the arrow
■
stamped on the side and the glass
shelf situated below. Fig. #
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone is at the very top
■
of the door.
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter
in the warmest zone. Cheese can then
continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable container

Fig. ç ! /4
A high air humidity keeps leafy
vegetables fresh for longer. Vegetables
and fruit should be stored at a slightly
lower air humidity.
The air humidity in the vegetable drawer
depends on the amount of stored food.
Note
If the air humidity is too high, drips may
form and cause decay.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

To store deep-frozen food.
■
To make ice cubes.
■
To freeze food.
■
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly. If
the door is open, the frozen food will
thaw. The freezer compartment will
become covered in thick ice. Also: waste
of energy due to high power
consumption!
