• Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
• Plastic bowl with lid

➨ 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.
