BOMANN KB 340.1 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 19

Basically, the temperature changes depending on the
ambient temperature (place of installation), the fre-
quency of opening the door and the equipment.
During initial operation, adjust the lowest possible
temperature (= highest power level) first, until the
appliance has reached the desired operating tem-
perature. Afterwards it is recommended to turn the
control back to a medium setting; correcting the tem-
perature at a later point would then be easier.
NOTE:
In generally a medium power level works best for an
optimized food storage. A high power level also in-
creases the energy consumption.
Storing food
NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-
ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food
items. You may pack the food with e.g.
 Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
 Plastic bowl with lid
 Special plastic covers with elastic strip
 Aluminum foil
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
 Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
 Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
"Cleaning and Maintenance"
).
 Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
 If the appliance is out of use for long period, follow
the instructions under
Storage space
Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par-
tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in
height or removed to optimize the storage space.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shel-
ves/drawers in their original position.
Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around 5∼7
degrees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circula-
tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.
 The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in
the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing
perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages
at around 2∼3 degrees.
 About that it becomes less cold. For dairy pro-
ducts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center
of the cooling is just the right temperature at
around 5 degrees.
 Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less
cooling. The upper cooling part at around
6∼8 degrees could be the right place.
 The cooling door is one of the warmest locations.
The upper racks are good location for food that
needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs.
There is space for drinks in the lower door racks.
 The vegetable box (depending on model) is sui-
table for fruit and vegetables at a temperature of
around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling tem-
perature. To ensure that delicate fruits and vege-
tables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids the
falling cold.
