Usable capacity Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. -

Refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk and hard cheese.

Notes ■ 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. ■ Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the ”cool-fresh” compartment (see chapter The “coolfresh” compartment).

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 bestbefore 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 the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones. The coldest zone is on the partition and on the shelf for large bottles. Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

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.

Vegetable container Fig. $ The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. The humidity controller of the partition and a special seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container. The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of products to be stored: ■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – lower air humidity ■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or small load – higher air humidity

en Notes ■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour. ■ Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.

“Cool-fresh” container Fig. !/12 The storage climate in the “cool-fresh” container offers ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat, sausage, cheese and milk.

Storage times (at 0 °C) Depending on the initial quality Fresh fish, seafood Poultry, meat (boiled/fried) Beef, pork, lamb, sausage (cold meat) Smoked fish, broccoli Salad greens, fennel, apricots, plums Soft cheese, yoghurt, quark, buttermilk, cauliflower
