• S
tore raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments are suit-
able for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making
ice-cream and making ice cubes.
• One- , two- or three-star compart-
ments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh
food.
• If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under
"Switching off"
.
Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around 4∼7 de-
grees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circula-
tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.
• The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in
the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing
perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages
at around 2∼3 degrees.
• About that it becomes less cold. For dairy prod-
ucts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center
of the cooling is just the right temperature at
around 4∼7 degrees.
• Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less
cooling. The upper cooling part at around
6∼8 degrees could be the right place.
• The cooling door is one of the warmest locations.
The upper racks are good location for food that
needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs.
There is space for drinks in the lower door racks.
• The vegetable box (depending on model) is suita-
ble for fruit and vegetables at a temperature of
around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling tem-
perature. To ensure that delicate fruits and vege-
tables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids the
falling cold.
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment allows you to store already
frozen food at a temperature up to -4°C for a short
time. In addition, observe the recommended storage
times on the sales packaging.

Switching off
To switch off the appliance turn the temperature con-
trol to the off state.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
• Remove the appliance content.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appli-
ance thoroughly (see
”Cleaning and mainte-
nance”
).
• Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odors.
Tips for energy saving
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if
it isn’t in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
• Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
• Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
the model) in their original position.
• Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
