en-us
Vegetable container with humidity
controller
The vegetable container is the optimum storage
location for fresh fruit and vegetables. A humidity
controller and a special seal can be used to adjust
the air humidity in the vegetable container. This allows
fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored up to twice as
long as with conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and quantity of products to be
stored:
■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – lower air
humidity
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or
small load – higher air humidity
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator
section
The air circulation in the refrigerator section creates
different chill zones:
■ Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the
side and the glass shelf situated below.
Note:
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in
the coldest zone.
■ The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note:
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest
zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavor
and butter will still be easy to spread.
Note:
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya
and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.
eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and
potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator
at temperatures of approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) to +54 °F
(+12 °C) for optimum preservation of quality and flavor.
Note:
Condensation may form in the vegetable container
depending on the type and quantity of products stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air
humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity
controller.

Tips for saving energy
■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room!
The appliance should not be installed in direct
sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, stove).
If required, use an insulating plate.
■ Select 560 mm niche depth.
A smaller niche depth will result in a higher energy
consumption.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment
and use the low temperature of the frozen food
to cool refrigerated food.
■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
■ Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always
closed properly.
■ Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance
to prevent increased power consumption.
■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect
the energy absorption of the appliance.
