Pay attention to the cold zones in the
refrigerator compartment
The cold room
The refrigerator compartment is an ideal
place for storing meat, sausage, fish, dairy
products, eggs, prepared foods and bread/
pastry.
Due to the air circulation in the cold room,
various cold zones are created:
■ The coldest zone is in the upper area of
the refrigerator compartment.
Take into account when storing
Note
Store sensitive foods (e.g. fish, sausage,
meat) in the coldest zone.
■ Store fresh, undamaged food. This
way, the quality and freshness are
preserved for longer.
■ The warmest zone is at the
bottom of the door and
in the vegetable drawer.
■ For ready-made products and filled
products, observe the expiry date or use-
by date stated by the manufacturer.
Note
Store eg hard cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. Cheese can further
develop its aroma and the butter
remains well spreadable.
■ Store the food well wrapped or covered
to preserve aroma, color and freshness.
This prevents odor transfer and
discoloration of the plastic parts in the
cooling compartment.

■ Allow hot dishes and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
appliance.

At high humidity, leafy vegetables stay
fresh longer. Store fruits and vegetables at
a slightly lower temperature.
Note
Do not block vents with food to avoid
impeding air circulation. Foods
immediately before
the vents are stored can freeze due to the
cold air flowing out.
The humidity in the crisper drawer
depends on the amount of food stored.
Note
Excessive humidity can cause water
droplets to form and lead to rot.
