Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compart ment
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing
meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
The temperature can be set from +36 °F (+2 °C)...
+46 °F (+8 °C).
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store
highly perishable groceries in the short to medium term.
The lower the selected temperature, the slower the
enzymatic and chemical processes and deterioration by
microorganisms. A temperature of +39 °F (+4 °C) or
lower ensures optimum freshness and safety of the
stored groceries.
Note when storing food
Note: Avoid contact between food and the back panel.
Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired and food or
packaging may freeze to the back panel.
▯ Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for
longer.
▯ In the case of ready products and bottled goods, do
not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-by date
indicated by the manufacturer.
▯ To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack or cover
food well before placing it into the appliance.
This will prevent flavors being transferred between
foods and the plastic parts from becoming discolored.
▯ Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing them into the refrigerator compartment.
25
en-us Refrigerator compartment
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the interior at the back panel and
in the chill compartment.
Note: Store delicate food (e.g. fish, sausages and meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest 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 continue to release its aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with humidity controller
Chill compartment
The chill compartment has lower temperatures than the
refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below +32 °F
(0 °C) may occur.
Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable for
salads, vegetables and groceries sensitive to cold.
The temperature of the chill compartment can be varied
using the ventilation opening. Push the temperature
controller down to make the temperature lower. Push the
temperature controller up to make the temperature
higher.
The vegetable container is the optimum storage location
for fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust the humidity
in the vegetable container via the humidity controller and
a special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to
be stored up to twice as long as with conventional
storage.
The 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 – set lower
humidity with controller position ^
▯ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small load
– set higher humidity with controller position ^^^
Notes
▯ For optimum preservation of quality and flavor store
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) outside of the appliance at
temperatures of approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) ... +54 °F
(+12 °C).
▯ Condensation may form in the vegetable container
depending on the type and quantity of products
stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust the
humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity
controller.

Freezer compart ment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
▯ storing frozen food
▯ making ice cubes
▯ freezing food
The temperature can be set from -11 °F (-24 °C)... +7 °F
(-14 °C).
The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable
foods long-term almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality, as the low temperatures considerably slow
down or stop deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all
valuable ingredients are largely retained.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer
compartment and it freezing solid depends on the
following factors:
▯ temperature set
▯ type of food
▯ amount of food in the freezer compartment
▯ quantity and type of storage
Fully utilizing the freezer volume
To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the
freezer compartment:
▯ Remove all fittings.
▯ Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor of
the freezer compartment.
When loading products
▯ Freeze large quantities of food in the top
compartment.
This is where it will freeze especially quickly and
gently.
▯ Distribute food in the compartments or frozen food
containers.
▯ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact
with frozen food.
If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food
containers.
▯ Important for unrestricted air circulation in the
appliance:
push in frozen food containers up to the limit stop.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable for
freezing than food which is eaten raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to
the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavor and color:
▯ Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
▯ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar
or ascorbic acid solution.
Information on how to do this can be found in relevant
literature.
Suitable for freezing
Purchasing frozen food
▯ Ensure the packaging is not damaged.
▯ Check there is a sell-by date.
▯ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must be
0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.
▯ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,
transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in the
freezer compartment quickly.
▯ Baked goods
▯ Fish and seafood
▯ Meat
▯ Poultry and game
▯ Vegetables, fruit and herbs

and prevent the development of freezer burn.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor or
drying out.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.
Suitable packaging:
▯ Plastic foil

quality.
Thawing methods:
▯ In the refrigerator compartment (especially suitable
for animal-based foods such as fish, meat, cheese)
▯ At room temperature (bread)
▯ In the microwave (food for immediate consumption or
immediate preparation)
▯ In the oven/cooker (food for immediate consumption
or immediate preparation)
