Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
Storing food
Store fresh, undamaged food. The
quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
• In the case of ready-made products
and bottled goods, observe the best-
before date or use-by date specified
by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
u Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
Note
Do not block air outlet openings with
food, otherwise the air circulation will be
impaired. Food which is stored directly
in front of the air outlet openings may be
frozen by the cold air flowing out.

Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
Coldest zone
is on the rear panel inside
the appliance and on the cold storage
compartment. Fig. 0/17
Note
Store perishable food e.g. fish,
sausage, meat in the coldest zones.
Warmest zone
is at the very top of the door.
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter
in the warmest zone. Cheese can then
continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with
humidity controller
Fig.
To create the optimum storage climate
for fruit and vegetables, you can set the
air humidity in the vegetable container
depending on the quantity stored:
• smaller quantities of fruit and
vegetables - high air humidity
• large quantities of fruit and vegetables
- low air humidity
