Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for ready meals, cakes
and pastries, preserved food, condensed
milk and hard cheese.

Storing food

Store fresh, undamaged food. The
■
quality and freshness will then
be retained for longer.
In the case of ready-made products
■
and bottled goods, observe the best-
before date or use-by date specified
by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour
■
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator
compartment.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
■
down before placing in the appliance.
Note the chill zones in the

refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
The coldest zone is on the partition and
on the shelf for large bottles.
Warmest zone is at the very top of the
door.
Notes
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in
■
the warmest zone. Cheese can then
continue to release its flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
■
sausage, meat) in the "cool-fresh"
compartment (see chapter The "cool-
fresh" compartment).
The "cool-fresh"
compartment
The temperature in the fridge is about
0 °C. The low temperature and the
optimum moisture provide ideal storage
conditions for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times
longer in the "cool-fresh" compartment
than in the normal cooling zone – for
even longer freshness, nutrient retention
and flavour.
