Tips for storing food in the re- frigerator compartment Follow the tips if you store food in your refrigerator compartment. ¡ To ensure that the freshness and quality of the food is retained for longer, only store fresh and un- spoiled food. ¡ In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, do not exceed the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manu- facturer. ¡ To retain aroma, colour and fresh- ness or to prevent taste transfer and discolouration of the plastic parts, store food well wrapped or covered. ¡ Leave warm food and beverages to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.en Freezer compartment

Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones. Coldest zone The coldest zone is in the pull-out container. 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. "OK" sticker The "OK" sticker lets you check whether the refrigerator compartment reaches the safe temperature ranges of +4°C or colder recommended for food. The "OK" sticker is not included with all models. If the sticker does not indicate "OK", gradually reduce the temperature.
