Refrigeration tips

(13) (13) (13) (12) (10) (9) (7) (7) (8)

- Fill the refrigerator to make the best use of the temperature conditions inside:

• Place spreadable butter and cheese in the door shelf (7) at the top. This is where the temperature is warmest.
• Store preserves, jars and eggs in a door shelf (7). Eggs are best stored on the supplied egg rack.
• Place drinks cartons and bottles in the large door shelf (8). Position full contain-

ers closer to the hinge in order to reduce the door load.

• Place securely-closed bottles on the bottle rack (12).
• Place cooked and baked foods on the glass shelves (13).
• Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish on the glass shelf (10) above the fruit/vegetable drawer (9). This is where the temperature is lowest.

• Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the fruit/vegetable drawer (9).

• Only store strong alcohol standing upright and closed tightly.

• 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 doors are 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 page GB-15).

Maintaining quality

• To maintain the flavour and freshness of food in the refrigerator, make sure that any food to be refrigerated is packed up before you place it inside. Use food-grade plastic containers or commercially available wraps.
• Place the food
• in the refrigerator in a way that allows air to circulate freely. Do not cover the shelves with paper or anything similar.
• somewhere that is not directly against the rear wall. Otherwise it could freeze onto the rear wall.

Care and maintenance
