refrigerator compartment.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.

The coldest zone is in the interior at the
rear wall and in the chill compartment.

Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
Note:
sausages and meat) in the coldest
zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of
the door.
Store e.g. hard cheese and
