Note when storing food
■ Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
■ In the case of ready products and
bottled goods do not exceed the
minimum sell-by date or use-by-date
indicated by the manufacturer.
■ To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing it in the
appliance.
This avoids transference of flavours
and discolouration of the plastic
parts.
■ Leave warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
refrigerator compartment.
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.
~ Fig. +
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.
Vegetable container with
humidity control
~ Fig. ,
The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. You can adjust the air
humidity in the vegetable container via
the humidity controller and a special
seal. This allows fresh fruit and
vegetables to be stored twice as long
as with conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable
container can be set according to
the type and amount of products to be
stored:
■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large
load – set lower air humidity
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for
a mixed load or small load – set
higher 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 and adjust air humidity in the
vegetable container with
the humidity controller.
