■ 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 between the arrow
stamped on the side and the
glass shelf situated below. Fig. 4
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■ 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. 5
The vegetable container is the optimum
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. A humidity controller and
a special seal can be used to
adjust the air humidity in the vegetable
container. 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
– lower air humidity
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a
mixed load or small load – 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 to +12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
■ 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.
The freezer
compartment

Is used to:
■ store deepfrozen food,
■ make ice cubes,
■ freeze small quantities of food.
