Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter "Customer service").

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.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:

• The coldest zones are on the rear panel, on the extendable glass shelves and in the serving tray.
  Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.
• Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
  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.

Note

Note

Fast cooling

Fast cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours. Then the original temperature set before fast cooling mode is automatically restored.

Switch on fast cooling mode, e.g.:

• before placing large quantities of food in the refrigerator compartment.
  • for fast cooling drinks.

Note

When fast cooling is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Press "fast" button refrigerator compartment *.

The button is lit when fast cooling is switched on.

The "cool-fresh" compartment

The temperature in the fridge is about 0 ^ . 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.

"Cool-fresh" container

The storage climate in the "cool-fresh" container offers ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat, sausage, cheese and milk.

Humidity container

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 and 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:

Fish, seafood, meat, sausage, dairy products, ready meals.

In the humidity container:

• 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)

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
