• Combine the drawers, glass shelves and
door shelves as shown in the diagram on
page EN-11 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 door shelf (3) in the fridge
compartment. This is where the temper-
ature is warmest.
– Store preserves, jars and eggs on the
middle door shelf. Eggs are best stored
on the supplied egg rack.
– Place drinks cartons and bottles in the
large lower door shelves. Position full
containers closer to the hinge in order to
reduce the strain on the door.
– Place cooked and baked foods on the
glass shelves (8).
