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, color and freshness,
pack or cover
food well before placing
in the appliance.
This will
prevent the transfer
of flavors and the discoloration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing
in the appliance.
Note:
Avoid contact
between
food and rear panel. Otherwise
the air circulation
will be impaired.
Food or packaging
could freeze to the rear panel.
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.
See chapter
"Getting
to
know your appliance".
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 flavor
and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable
container
with humidity
controller
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
Note:
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.
46 °Fto54
°F(+8
°Cto+
12 °C) foroptimum
preservation
of quality and flavor.
Condensation
may form in the vegetable
container
depending
on the type and quantity
of products
stored.
Remove condensation
with a dry cloth and
adjust air humidity
in the vegetable
container
with
the humidity
controller.
Cold storage
compartment
See chapter
"Getting
to know your appliance"
The cold storage
compartment
has lower temperatures
than the refrigerator
compartment.
Even temperatures
below 32 °F (0 °C) may occur.
Ideal for storing
fish, meat and sausage.
Not suitable
for lettuce, vegetables
and produce
sensitive
to cold.
