Refrigerator compartment

U
T he refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing
R e f r i g e r a t o r c o m p a r t m e n t
dairy products, eggs, cooked meals, pastries, preserves
once opened and hard cheese.
The temperature can be set from +3 °C ... +8 °C.
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store
highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The
lower the selected temperature, the slower the
enzymatic and chemical processes and deterioration by
microorganisms. A temperature of +4 °C or lower
ensures optimum freshness and safety of the stored
foods.

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 on the partition and in the storage
area for large bottles.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Notes
▯
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest
zone. Cheese can then continue to release its
aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.
▯
Store perishable food such as fish, sausages and
meat in the cool-fresh compartment. ~

C ool-fresh compartment

T
T he temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is kept
C o o l - f r e s h c o m p a r t m e n t
at around 0 °C.
The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide
ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
With cool-fresh storage, you can keep fresh foodstuffs
fresh for up to three times longer than in the refrigerator
compartment – for even longer freshness, nutrient
retention and better flavour.

Vegetable container

The vegetable container is the best storage location for
fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust the humidity in
the vegetable container via the humidity controller of the
division plate and a special seal.
The 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 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, courgettes,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored
outside the appliance 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
the humidity in the vegetable container with the
humidity controller.
