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.

■

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.

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.
