Tip:
Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.

whether the refrigerator compartment
reaches the safe temperature ranges
of +4 °C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with

partment depends on the temperat-
