Chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the pull-out
container.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:
Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
Cooling capacity
The temperature in the refrigerator
compartment may rise temporarily if
loaded with fairly larger amounts of
food or drinks.
Tip:
Turn the temperature controller
to a higher setting for approx.
seven hours.

of +4 °C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with
all models.
If the sticker does not indicate "OK",
gradually reduce the temperature.

Observe the information when you
want to defrost your appliance.
Defrosting in the refrigerator
compartment
When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas-
ons. The back panel in the refriger-
ator compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
Condensation or frost run through the
condensation channel into the drain-
age hole to the evaporation pan and
do not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:

nel and drainage hole", Page 37
