Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can be found
inside your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram
at chapter “Customer service”).
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for ready meals, cakes and pastries,
preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit
and vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical
fruit.
Note when loading products
Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance.
This will retain the aroma, colour and freshness
of the food. In addition, flavours will not be transferred
between foods and the plastic parts will not become
discoloured.
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:
▯
Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note
Store e.g. cheese and butter in the warmest zone.
When served, the cheese will not have lost its
flavour and the butter will be easy to spread.
▯
Coldest zone is in the pull-out container.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat)
in the coldest zones.
The freezer compartment
Using the freezer compartment
▯
To store deep-frozen food.
▯

▯
To freeze small quantities of 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!
