5 Beverages
6 Butter, cheese, eggs

Do not line the drawers with aluminium foil, waxed paper or paper layers; otherwise optimum circulation of the cold air is impeded so the appliance cannot work at best performance.

◆ Cooked food can be stored in the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance.

Store your food in colourless, airtight and tasteless materials.

Some food like meat, fish etc. may become dry and release strong odours. You can avoid these by wrapping them into aluminium foil or plastic wrap or putting them into an airtight bag or container.

Allow ample storage place for your food. Do not overfill your appliance.

- Wrap your food in plastic wrap or suitable paper and place each kind of food in a particular location in your appliance. This will prevent any contamination, a loss of water and a mingling of odours.

Let warm or hot food cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance. Otherwise the energy consumption will increase and encrusted ice will be generated.

If you buy frozen food, the packaging must not be damaged and the product must be properly stored (sales container -18°C or lower).

Put the frozen food you want to defrost into the cooling-compartment of you appliance.

How to defrost frozen food depends on your kitchen-equipment and the purpose, you want to use the frozen food for.
