NOTE:
In generally a low to medium power level works best
for an optimized food storage. A high power level
also increases the energy consumption.
Interior light
By opening the respective appliance door, the interior
light switches on automatically.
Storing food
NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
"Cleaning and Maintenance").
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
Two-star
frozen-food compartments are suit-
able for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making
ice-cream and making ice-cubes.
One-
, two-
partments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh
food.
If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under "Switching off".

Storage space
Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par-
tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in
height or removed to optimize the storage space.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shel-
ves/drawers in their original position.
Fridge
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-
ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food
items. You may pack the food with e.g.
Polyethylene plastic bags or foil
Plastic bowl with lid
Special plastic covers with elastic strip
Aluminum foil
Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around
5∼7 degrees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circula-
tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.
The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in
the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing
perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages
at around 2-3 degrees.
About that it becomes less cold. For dairy pro-
ducts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center
of the cooling is just the right temperature at
around 5 degrees.
Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less
cooling. The upper cooling part at around
8 degrees could be the right place.
The cooling door is one of the warmest locations.
The upper racks are good location for food that
