Fridgecompartment
The fridge compartment is the perfect place for keeping
meat, cold cuts, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals,
bread and pastries.
The temperature of the fridge compartment can be set
between +2 °C and +8 °C.
By storing food in the fridge you can keep even highly
perishable items for short to medium-length periods. The
lower the set temperature, the more slowly enzymatic
and chemical processes and decomposition by
micro-organisms take place. A temperature of +4 °C or
below ensures food is kept as fresh and safe to eat as
possible.
When placing food in the fridge, follow
these guidelines:
ʋ Keep fresh, untouched food in the fridge. In that way
it will keep longer and stay fresher.
ʋ In the case of ready-made products and packaged
foods and liquids, pay attention to the manufacturer's
specified best-before or use-by date.
ʋ In order to maintain flavour, colour and freshness,
keep food well packed or covered over. That also
prevents flavours from mixing and the plastic parts
from becoming discoloured in the fridge compart-
ment.
ʋ Allow warm food and beverages to cool before
putting them into the appliance.
Notes
ʋ Keep food from coming into contact with the rear
panel. Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired.
ʋ Food or packaging could also become frozen to the
rear panel.
Pay attention to the temperature zones in
the fridge compartment
The air circulation produces different temperature zones
in the fridge compartment.
ʋ The coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the chiller box.
Note: Use the coldest zone to keep temperature-sensi-
tive foods such as fish, cold cuts and fresh meat.
ʋ The warmest zone
The warmest zone is on the shelf under the chiller box.
Note: Keep items such as hard cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. That will allow the cheese to continue
developing its flavour and the butter will remain
spreadable.
Vegetable container with humidity
regulator
To create the ideal storage temperature for fruit and
vegetables, you can adjust the air humidity in the vegeta-
ble container as follows according to the amount stored:
ʋ Small quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air
humidity
ʋ Large quantities of fruit and vegetables – low air
humidity
Fruit container
(Not available on all models)
Additional storage container for fruit.
Note:
Condensation may form in the vegetable container
depending on the quantity and type of vegetables
stored. Wipe away the condensation using a dry cloth
and adjust the air humidity accordingly by means of the
humidity regulator.
