• Tubes should be kept either in the flat door shelf (9) or use the door shelf top unit (8). You can also store small bottles and cans in the door shelf top unit.

• Use the suspended container (10) to store cheese.

• Place drinks cartons and bottles in the bottle rack (12). Position full containers closer to the hinge in order to reduce the strain on the door.

• Place cooked and baked foods on the glass shelves (19).
• Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish on the glass shelf (17) above the small drawer (16).
  – Use the small drawer (16) to store foods which spoil easily or which are packaged, such as fish, meat, meat products, milk and milk products.
• Store foods which contain a high percentage of water such as fresh fruit and vegetables, salads, herbs and mushrooms without any packaging in the fruit/vegetable drawers (14) and close the vents (see section „Ventilation controller“ on page EN-11).
• Some varieties of fruit and vegetables such as citrus fruits, bananas, pineapples, melons, cucumbers, peppers, aubergines, tomatoes and potatoes are sensitive to the cold. Do not store them in the drawers (14) and (16).
• Only store strong alcohol standing upright and closed tightly.

Reducing energy consumption

• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator.
• The temperatures in the appliance and thus the energy consumption can increase
• if the door is opened frequently or for a prolonged period.
• if the temperature falls below or exceeds the prescribed interior temperature.
• Energy consumption is also dependent on the selected location (for more detailed information, see see EN-17).

Maintaining quality

• To maintain the flavour and freshness of food in the refrigerator, make sure that any food to be refrigerated is packaged before you place it inside. Use special plastic containers for food or customary films.
  One exception is the fruit/vegetable drawer (14). You can store fresh fruit and vegetables unpackaged in here.
• Store food in the refrigerator in a way that allows air to circulate freely.
• Do not cover the glass shelves with paper or anything similar.
• Do not place food directly against the back wall. Otherwise it may freeze onto the rear wall.

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally-friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.
