wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later
point would then be easier.
NOTE:
In generally a low to medium power level works best
for an optimized food storage. A high power level
also increases 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, fol-
low the instructions under "Switching off".
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
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 the model) is
suitable for fruit and vegetables at a temperature
of around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling
temperature. To ensure that delicate fruits and
vegetables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids
the falling cold.
Ice compartment
The ice compartment allows you to store already
frozen food at a temperature up to -4°C temporarily.
In addition, observe the recommended storage times
on the sales packaging. However, it is especially
