en Freezer compartment
Store food well wrapped or
¡
covered.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
¡
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
9.2 Chill zones in the refriger-
ator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the ar-
row stamped on the side and the
shelf underneath.
Tip: Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip: Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
9.3 "OK" sticker
The "OK" sticker lets you check
whether the refrigerator compartment
reaches the safe temperature ranges
of +4 °C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with
all models.
If the sticker does not indicate "OK",
gradually reduce the temperature.

ment temperature", Page 35
Once the appliance is switched on, it
may take up to 12 hours until the set
temperature is reached.

food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer com-
partment depends on the temperat-
ure in the refrigerator compartment.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18 °C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
10.1 Freezer compartment
door
To ensure that the frozen food that is
stored does not thaw and the freezer
compartment is not covered in too
much ice, always close the freezer
compartment door.
Note: When you close the freezer
compartment door, you can hear it
engaging.
10.2 Freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity indic-
ates the quantity of food that can be
frozen right through to the centre
within a specific period of time.
Information on the maximum freezing
capacity can be found on the rating
plate. → Fig.
