compartment
T he refrigerator compartment is
R e f r i g e r a t o r c o m p a r t m e n t
suitable for storing meat, sausages, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals and
pastries.
The temperature can be set from
+2 °C ... +8 °C.
The refrigerator compartment can also
be used to store highly perishable foods
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 +4 °C or lower
ensures optimum freshness and safety
of the stored foods.
Note when storing food
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, colour
■
and freshness, pack or cover food
well before placing it in the
appliance.
This avoids transference of flavours
and discolouration of the plastic
parts.
Leave warm food and drinks to cool
■
down before placing them in 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 between the arrow
stamped on the side and the shelf
underneath.
~ Fig. '
Note: Store perishable 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 flavour and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
