• Place the food
– in the fridge in a way that allows the air to circulate freely.
Do not cover the shelves with paper or anything similar.
– somewhere that is not directly against the rear wall. Other-
wise it may freeze to the back wall.
• Place the fridge/freezer thermometer on the glass shelf 6 above
the vegetable drawers 5 to check the correct temperature. The
optimum is about +6 °C.
• Make sure the shelves 3, 4 and 7 are empty first if you intend to
reposition them to a different height.
• To maximise on space, you can place baskets for smaller items,
such as jam jars, on the glass shelves 6 and 7 in the refrigerator.
• Combine the drawers, glass shelves and door shelves as shown
in the diagram on page 10 to achieve the most efficient use
of energy for your appliance.
• A temperature setting that is too high or too low can reduce the
shelf life of your food. This leads to greater food waste.
• Set the temperature in the fridge compartment to +6 °C and fill
the fridge compartment in such a way that the temperature con-
ditions inside are optimally utilised, guaranteeing optimal food
storage.
• The following tips show you how you can store foods in your
appliance to keep them in the best possible condition over the
longest possible period. This will mean that you avoid food
waste:
• Fruit/vegetables: Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the veg-
etable drawers 5.
• The coldest place is the glass shelf 6 above the vegetable
drawers 5. This is good for fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon,
sausage and raw fish.
• The top area and door shelves 3 are the warmest and are
suitable for spreadable butter and cheese.
• Bottles/beverage cartons: Make sure bottles/cartons are
tightly closed and cannot leak. Place bottles/beverage car-
tons on the door shelf 4.
