14 Refrigerator compartment

You can keep dairy products, eggs, prepared meals, pastries, open preserves and hard cheese in the refrigerator compartment.

The temperature can be set from 33 ^ ( 1 ^ ) to 43 ^ ( 6 ^ ).

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temperature, the longer the food remains fresh.

14.1 Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment

■ 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 appliance.
• Observe the best-before date or expiration date specified by the manufacturer.

14.2 Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air recirculation cooling system allows the air to circulate evenly in the refrigerator compartment and ensures a constant temperature at all shelves.

Coldest zone

The coldest zone is in the bottom area at the back panel.

Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages and meat in the cool-fresh compartment or in the variable-temperature compartment.

→ "Cool-fresh compartment", Page 21
→ "Variable-temperature compartment", Page 21

15 Cool-fresh compartment

In the cool-fresh compartment, you can keep fresh food fresh up to three times longer than in the refrigerator compartment.

The temperature can be set from 32 °F (0 °C) to 37 °F (3 °C) using pre-defined storage settings.

Storing food in the cool-fresh compartment retains the quality of the food better. The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.

15.1 Storage recommendations for the cool-fresh compartment

Storage setting Food

☐ Beverage Drinks

☐ Vegetable Vegetables

☐ Fruit Fruit

☐ Variety Mixed load with fruit and vegetables

☐ Fish Fish and seafood

☐ Deli Gourmet food

☐ Cheese Cheese and dairy products

16 Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, freeze food and make ice cubes in the freezer compartment.

The temperature can be set from 6 °F (-14 °C) to -7 °F (-22 °C).

Long-term storage of food should be at 0 °F ( -18 °C ) or lower.

The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable foods long-term. The low temperatures slow down or stop the spoilage.

16.1 Tips for storing food in the freezer compartment

■ Store food in air-tight packaging.
- Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with frozen food.
■ Distribute the food over a wide area in the suspended frozen food container.

16.2 Tips for freezing fresh food

■ Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

■ Freeze food in portions.
- Cooked food is more suitable for freezing than food that can be eaten raw.
■ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and blanch before freezing.
■ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
- Food that is suitable for freezing includes baked items, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, eggs without shells, cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared meals and leftovers.
- Food that is unsuitable for freezing includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, raw apples and pears, yogurt, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

If you select suitable packaging material and the correct type of packaging, you can determine the product quality and prevent freezer burn.

1. Place the food in the packaging.
2. Squeeze out the air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor or drying out.
4. Label the packaging with the contents and the date of freezing.

16.3 Defrosting methods for frozen food

CAUTION

During the thawing process, bacteria may multiply and spoil the frozen food.

• Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed food.
