Refrigeration and freezing
Operation
To maintain the flavour and freshness of food
in the fridge, place in the fridge only food that
is packaged. Use special plastic containers or
commercially available films for the food.
– Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the
fridge.
– 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.
– Place a fridge thermometer on a glass shelf
above a crisper compartment so that you
can check the correct temperature. Around
6 °C is optimal.
– Fruit/vegetables: Place fresh fruit and veg-
etables in the crisper compartments. High
humidity keeps fruit and vegetables fresh for
longer.
– The coldest place is the glass shelf above
the crisper compartments. This is good for
fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage
and raw fish.
– Place cooked/baked goods on the glass
shelves.
– The top area and door racks are the warm-
est and are suitable for spreadable butter
and cheese.
– Make sure that bottles and drinks cartons
are tightly closed and cannot leak. Place
bottles and drinks cartons in the door rack
or on the dedicated bottle rack.
Adjusting the humidity
Humidity in the crisper compartments can be
adjusted using the fully variable “Humidity Con-
trol” sliders.
