dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com-
partment.
The temperature can be set from
2 °C to 8 °C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
10.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compart-
ment
¡ Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡ Store food covered or in air-tight
packaging.
¡ To avoid impeding the circulation
of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food in front
of the inner ventilation openings or
in direct contact with the back wall.
¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.

10.2 Chill zones in the refri-
gerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the storage
container.
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.

food and make ice cubes in the

−16 °C to −24 °C.

used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
