compartment
Ref r i ger at or compar t ment
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing
meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready
meals and pastries.
The temperature can be set from +36 °F (+2 °C)...
+46 °F (+8 °C).
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to
store highly perishable groceries in the short to
medium term. The lower the selected temperature,
the slower the enzymatic and chemical processes
and deterioration by microorganisms. A temperature
of +39 °F (+4 °C) or lower ensures optimum
freshness and safety of the stored groceries.
Note when storing food
Note: Avoid contact between food and the back
panel.
Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired and
food or packaging may freeze to the back panel.
■ Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for
longer.
■ In the case of ready products and bottled goods,
do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-
by date indicated by the manufacturer.
■ To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack
or cover food well before placing it into the
appliance.
This will prevent flavors being transferred
between foods and the plastic parts from
becoming discolored.
■ Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing them into the refrigerator compartment.
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the interior at the back panel
and in the chill compartment.
Note: Store delicate food (e.g. fish, sausages and
meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. Cheese can continue to release its
aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with humidity
controller
The vegetable container is the optimum storage
location for fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust
the humidity in the vegetable container via the
humidity controller and a special seal. This allows
fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored up to twice as
long as with conventional storage.
The humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and quantity of products to be
stored:
■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower
humidity with controller position FRUIT
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small
load – set higher humidity with controller position
VEGETABLES
Notes
■ For optimum preservation of quality and flavor
store fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,
banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables
sensitive to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers,
zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes)
outside of the appliance at temperatures of
approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) ... +54 °F (+12 °C).
■ Condensation may form in the vegetable
container depending on the type and quantity of
products stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust
the humidity in the vegetable container with the
humidity controller.
Chill compartment
The chill compartment has lower temperatures than
the refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below
+32 °F (0 °C) may occur.
Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable
for salads, vegetables and groceries sensitive to
cold.
The temperature of the chill compartment can be
varied using the ventilation opening. Push the
temperature controller down to make the
temperature lower. Push the temperature controller
up to make the temperature higher.
