Chilling food
Page EN-22
• Combine the drawers, glass shelves and
door shelves as shown in the diagram on
page EN-21 to achieve the most efficient
use of energy for your appliance.
• A temperature setting that is too high or
too low can reduce the shelf life of your
food. This leads to greater food waste.
• Set the temperature in the fridge compart-
ment to +6 °C and fill the fridge compart-
ment in such a way that the temperature
conditions inside are optimally utilised,
guaranteeing optimal food storage.
• The following tips show you how you can
store foods in your appliance to keep
them in the best possible condition over
the longest possible period. This will
mean that you avoid food waste:
– Place spreadable butter and cheese on
the upper large door shelf (3) The tem-
perature is highest there.
– Store jam, glass jars and eggs in the
door shelves (3) Use the egg shelf to
store the eggs.
– Place drink cartons and bottles in the
door shelves (3). To reduce the load of
the door hinges, place full containers
closer to the door hinge.
– Store small bottles and tubes in the door
shelves (3).
– Place cooked and baked foods on the
glass shelves (12).
– Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon,
sausage and raw fish on the glass cov-
er (11) directly above the fruit/vegetable
drawers (4). This is where the tempera-
ture is lowest.
– Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the
fruit/vegetable drawers (4).
• Only store strong alcohol standing upright
and tightly closed.
• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in
the fridge.
• If you intend to refill the fridge with large
amounts of food, set ‘Quick refrigerating’
about 2 hours before you fill it.
If you intend to refill the fridge with
large amounts of food, set ‘Quick re-
frigerating’ about 2.5 hours before you
fill it (see page EN-18).
Maintaining quality
• To maintain the flavour and freshness of
food in the fridge, only place packaged
food in the fridge.
Use special plastic containers for food or
customary films.
• Place the food
– in the fridge in a way that allows the air to
circulate freely. Do not cover the shelves
with paper or anything similar;
– somewhere that is not directly against
the rear wall. Otherwise it may freeze
onto the rear wall.
