Refrigerating food
Page EN-14
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:
• Store spreadable butter and cheese on
the upper door shelf (4). This is where
the temperature is warmest.
• Store preserves, jars and eggs on the
lower door shelf (4). Eggs are best
stored on the supplied egg tray.
• Place drinks cartons and bottles on the
large door shelf (5). Position full contain-
ers closer to the hinge in order to reduce
the strain on the appliance door.
• Store cooked and baked foods on the
glass shelf (10).
• Store fresh meat, game, poultry, ba-
con, sausage and raw fish on the glass
shelf (8) above the fruit/vegetable draw-
er (7). This is where the temperature is
lowest.
• Store fresh fruit and vegetables in the
fruit/vegetable drawer (7).
• Only store strong alcohol standing up-
right and tightly closed.
• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in
the fridge.
The temperatures in the appliance and thus
the energy consumption may increase if
– the appliance door is opened frequently
or for a prolonged period.
– if the temperature falls below or exceeds
the prescribed interior temperature.
Energy consumption is also dependent on
the selected location (for more detailed infor-
mation, see page EN-22).
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.
