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. ¡ Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manu- facturer. 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. 11 Freezer compartment You can store frozen food, freeze food and make ice cubes in the freezer compartment. The temperature can be set from −16°C to −24°C. Long-term storage of food should be at –18°C or lower. The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable food long- term. The low temperatures slow down or stop the spoilage. 11.1 Freezing capacity The freezing capacity indicates the quantity of food that can be frozen right through to the centre within a specific period of time. Information on freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate.

Prerequisites for freezing capacity
