Storing food in the refrigerator section
21
Danger of explosion.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans).
If storing food which contains a
lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the
appliance door, make sure that it
does not come into contact with
plastic components as this could
cause stress cracks or break the
plastic.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation there are
different temperature zones in the
refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different temperature zones when
placing food in the appliance.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the refrigerator.
Food must not touch the back of the
refrigerator section as it may freeze to
the back wall.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing
butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area is directly above the
fruit and vegetable drawer(s) and at the
back of the appliance.
Use this for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4°C.
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator

at temperatures below 5°C as some
food is sensitive to cold. The
appearance, consistency, taste and / or
the vitamin content of certain types of
food can be adversely affected by
being stored in too cold a place.
