spoiling.
5.2 Fridge compartment
The air circulation in the appliance creates different temper‐
ature zones. You will find the different temperature zones in
the appliance and equipment overview. (see 1.1 Overview of
the appliance and equipment)
5.2.1 Arranging your food properly
u Upper area and door: Store butter, cheese, tinned food
and tubes.
u Coldest temperature zone: Store perishable foods such
as pre-cooked meals.
5.3 ColdFresh
ColdFresh will extend the storage time for some fresh foods
compared to traditional refrigeration.
Note
If the temperature drops below 0 °C foods may freeze.
u Store cold-sensitive produce such as cucumbers, auber‐
gines, courgettes and tropical fruit in the fridge compart‐
ment.
5.3.1 ColdFresh with humidity control
This safe creates a storage climate of close to 0 °C. The
tight lid ensures constant levels of humidity. This storage
climate is suitable for storing unpackaged food with high
intrinsic moisture (for example, lettuce, vegetables, fruit).
The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture
content of the chilled goods placed in it, and also depends
on how often the compartment is opened. You can regulate
the humidity level. (see 8.8 Adjusting the moisture levels)
Arranging your food properly
u Store unpackaged fruit and vegetables.
If the humidity is too high:
u Regulate the humidity. (see 8.8 Adjusting the moisture
levels)
* Depending on model and options
5.3.2 ColdFresh without humidity control
This safe creates a storage climate of close to 0 °C. This
storage climate is suitable for more sensitive foods (e.g.
dairy products, meat, fish, sausage).
Arranging your food properly
u Store dry or packaged food.
5.4 ****-freezer compartment
Here, a dry, frosty storage climate is created at -18 °C. The
frosty storage climate is suitable for storing frozen food for
several months, for making ice cubes or freezing fresh food.
The air temperature in the freezer compartment, measured
with a thermometer or other measuring device, may fluc‐
tuate. Temperature fluctuations are greater in a half-full
or empty freezer and it is possible to attain temperatures
warmer than -18 °C.
5.4.1 Freezing food
The maximum amount of fresh food that you can
freeze within 24 hours is specified on the type plate
(see 10.5 Model plate) under "Freezing capacity ... kg/24h".
To ensure that food quickly freezes through, adhere to the
following quantities per package:
-
Fruit and vegetables up to 1 kg
Meat up to 2.5 kg
-
Arranging your food properly

u Place packaged food in the freezer compartment in such
a way that it is in contact with the bottom or sides.
