Note the chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones:
Coldest zone
■
is on the rear panel inside the appliance and on the
cold storage compartment. See chapter Getting to
know your appliance.
Note:
Store perishable food e.g. fish, sausage, meat in the
coldest zones.
Warmest zone
■
is at the very top of the door.
Note:
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest
zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavor
and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with humidity
controller
To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and
vegetables, you can set the air humidity in the vegetable
container depending on the quantity stored:
smaller quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air
■
humidity
large quantities of fruit and vegetables – low air
■
humidity
Note:
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
■
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. eggplants, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers,
tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. 46 °F to
54 °F (+8 °C to + 12 °C) for optimum preservation
of quality and flavor.
Condensation may form in the vegetable container
■
depending on the type and quantity of products
stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and
adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with
the humidity controller.
Cold storage compartment
See chapter Getting to know your appliance.
The cold storage compartment has lower temperatures
than the refrigerator compartment. Even temperatures
below 32 °F (0 °C) may occur.
Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable for
lettuce, vegetables and produce sensitive to cold.
Super cooling
Super cooling cools the refrigerator compartment as
cold as possible for approx. 6 hours. Then the appliance
automatically switches to the temperature set prior to
super cooling mode.
Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.:
before placing large quantities of food in the
■
compartment.
for the fast cooling of drinks.
■
Switching on and off
Press button „super refrigerator".
The button is lit when super cooling is switched on.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment
To store frozen food.
■
To make ice cubes.
■
To freeze food.
■
Note:
Ensure that the freezer compartment door has always
been closed properly! If the door is open, the frozen food
will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered
in thick ice. Besides: energy is wasted due to the high
power consumption!
Freezing and storing food
Purchasing frozen food
The packaging must not be damaged.
■
Pay attention to the expiration date.
■
Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F
■
(–18 °C) or lower.
If possible, transport frozen food in an insulated bag
■
and place quickly in the freezer compartment.
