Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the arrow
stamped on the side and the shelf
underneath.

Note:
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausages and meat) in the coldest
zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of
the door.
Note:
Store e.g. hard cheese and
butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can
continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.

The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. A high air humidity keeps
leafy vegetables fresh for longer. Fruit
and vegetables should be stored at a
slightly lower air humidity.
Notes
■
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g.
pineapple, banana, papaya and
citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers,
zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and
potatoes) should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures of
approx. +8 °C - +12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
■
Condensation may form in the
vegetable container depending on
the food and quantity stored.
Remove condensation with a dry
cloth.

The freezer compartment is suitable for:
■
storing frozen food
■
making ice cubes
■
freezing food
The temperature in the freezer
compartment depends on the
temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.
The freezer compartment can be used
to store perishable foods long-term
almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavour and
all valuable ingredients are largely
retained.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on the following factors:
■
set temperature
■
type of food
■
amount of food in the freezer
compartment
■
quantity and type of storage
Maximum freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity
indicates the quantity of food that can
be frozen solid within 24 hours.
Information about the maximum freezing
capacity can be found on the rating
plate.
