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. Super cooling Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode. Switch on super cooling mode, e.g. ■ before placing large quantities of food in the refrigerator compartment. ■ for the fast cooling of drinks. Switching on and off Fig. " Press “super” button 6. The button is lit when super 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.en

Humidity container Fig. !/17 The humidity container is covered with a special filter which optimises retention of the air humidity in the storage compartment. As a result, there is up to 95 % air humidity in the humidity container, depending on the amount of products put in. This storage climate offers ideal conditions for fresh fruit, salad greens, vegetables, herbs or mushrooms. 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 humidity container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth. Foods suitable for “cool-fresh” container: In the “cool-fresh” container: Fig. !/15 ■ Fish, seafood, meat, sausage, dairy products, ready meals. In the humidity container: Fig. !/17 ■ Vegetables (e.g. carrots, asparagus, celery, leeks, beetroot, mushrooms, brassicas such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi) ■ Salad greens (e.g. lamb’s lettuce, iceberg lettuce, chicory, lettuce) ■ Herbs (e.g. dill, parsley, chives, basil) ■ Fruit (types insensitive to cold, e.g. apples, peaches, berries, grapes) Storage times (at 0 °C) Freezer compartment Use the freezer compartment ■ To store deep-frozen food. ■ To make ice cubes. ■ To freeze food. Note Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption! Depending on the initial quality Fresh fish, seafood up to 3 days Poultry, meat (boiled/fried) up to 5 days Beef, pork, lamb, sausage (cold meat) up to 7 days Smoked fish, broccoli up to 14 days Salad greens, fennel, apricots, plums up to 21 days Soft cheese, yoghurt, quark, buttermilk, cauliflower up to 30 daysen

Max. freezing capacity Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate. Fig. 0 Freezing and storing food Purchasing frozen food ■ Packaging must not be damaged. ■ Use by the “use by” date. ■ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower. ■ If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. Storing frozen food Insert freezer drawers all the way to ensure unrestricted air circulation. If a large quantity of food is to be placed in the freezer compartment, the food can be stacked directly on the wire shelves and on the floor of the freezer compartment.

2. Pull out the freezer drawers all

the way, lift at the front and remove. Fig. $ Freezing fresh food Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops. Note Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. ■ The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts. ■ The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.en

Packing frozen food To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.

4. Label packaging with contents

and date of freezing. Suitable packaging: Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets. Unsuitable packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags. Items suitable for sealing packaged food: Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold- resistant adhesive tape, etc. Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer. Shelf life of frozen food Storage duration depends on the type of food. At a temperature of -18 °C: ■ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months ■ Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months ■ Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months Super freezing Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour. Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise. As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate. This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature. If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment. Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”. Note When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur. Switching on and off Fig. " Press “super” button 3. If the super freezing has been switched on the button is lit. Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 2½ days.en
