6.4 Storage container
The temperatures in the storage con-
tainer are lower than in the refriger-
ator compartment. Temperatures be-
low 0°C may occur occasionally.
In order to reach temperatures close
to 0 °C in the storage container, set
the refrigerator compartment temper-
ature to 2 °C. →Page48
Use the lower temperatures in the
storage container to store highly per-
ishable food, e.g. fish, meat and
sausages.
6.5 Fruit and vegetable con-
tainer with humidity con-
trol
Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose
in the fruit and vegetable container.
Cover any chopped fruit and veget-
ables, or store in air-tight packaging.
You can adjust the humidity in the
fruit and vegetable container using
the humidity controller and a special
seal. This allows fresh fruit and veget-
ables to be stored for up to twice as
long as with conventional storage.

The air humidity in the fruit and
vegetable container can be set
according to the type and amount of
food to be stored by pressing the
humidity controller:
¡ Low humidity required when
primarily storing fruit or mixed
items, or if the appliance is very
full.
¡ High humidity required when
primarily storing vegetables or
when the appliance is not very full.
Condensation may form in the fruit
and vegetable container depending
on the food and quantity stored.
Remove the condensation with a dry
cloth and adjust the air humidity to a
lower setting using the humidity con-
troller.
To ensure that the quality and aroma
are retained, store fruit and veget-
ables that are sensitive to cold out-
side of the appliance at temperatures
of approx. 8°C to 12°C, e.g. pine-
apple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucum-
bers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes
and potatoes.
