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
Avoid contact between food and rear panel.
Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
Note the chill zones in the
refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones:
▯
The coldest zones are on the rear panel, on the
extendable glass shelves and in the serving tray.
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
flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Fast cooling

Fast cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the
coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours. Then
the original temperature set before fast cooling mode
is automatically restored.
Switch on fast cooling mode, e.g.:
▯
before placing large quantities of food in the
refrigerator compartment.
▯
for fast cooling drinks.
Note
When fast cooling is switched on, increased
operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Press "fast" button refrigerator compartment Û.
The button is lit when fast cooling is switched on.

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.

"Cool-fresh" container

The storage climate in the "cool-fresh" container
offers ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat,
sausage, cheese and milk.
