dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com­partment.
The temperature can be set from
2°C to 8°C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish­able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper­ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.

10.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compart­ment

¡ Only store food when fresh and

undamaged.

¡ Store food covered or in air-tight

packaging.

¡ To avoid impeding the circulation

of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food so that

wall.

¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool

down first before placing in the ap­pliance.

¡ Observe the best-before date or

use-by date specified by the manu­facturer.

16

Freezer compartment en

10.2 Chill zones in the refri­gerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.

Coldest zone

The coldest zone is between the
shelf above the vegetable container
and the shelf above that.

Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.

Warmest zone

The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.

Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.

10.3 "OK" sticker

The "OK" sticker lets you check
whether the refrigerator compartment
reaches the safe temperature ranges
of +4°C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with
all models.

may take up to 12hours until the set
temperature is reached.

Correct setting

11 Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer com­partment depends on the temperat­ure in the refrigerator compartment.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long­term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.

11.1 Freezing capacity

The freezing capacity indicates the
quantity of food that can be frozen
right through to the centre within a
specific period of time.
Information on freezing capacity can
be found on the rating plate. →"Appli-

ance", Fig. 1 /4, Page13

Prerequisites for freezing capacity

1. Approx. 24hours before placing

fresh food in the appliance, switch

¡ Place thefood over thewhole area

ofthefrozen food containers.

¡ To quickly and gently freeze larger

quantities of fresh food, place this
in the top frozen food container.

¡ To ensure that the air can circulate

freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.

11.4 Tips for freezing fresh food

¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food

only.

¡ Freeze food in portions.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable than

food that can be eaten raw.

¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and

blanch before freezing.

¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel,

possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.

¡ Food that is suitable for freezing in-

cludes baked items, fish and sea­food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.

¡ Food that is unsuitable for freezing

includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in
shells, grapes, raw apples and
pears, yoghurt, sour cream, crème
fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

If you select suitable packaging ma­terial and the correct type of pack­aging, you can determine the product
quality and prevent freezer burn.

1. Place the food in the packaging.

2. Squeeze out the air.

Defrosting en

¡ Defrost animal-based food, such

as fish, meat, cheese, quark, in the
refrigerator compartment.

¡ Defrost bread at room temperat-

ure.

¡ Prepare food for immediate con-

sumption in the microwave, in the
oven or on the hob.

12 Defrosting

12.1 Defrosting in the refri­gerator compartment

When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas­ons. The back panel in the refriger­ator compartment defrosts automatic­ally.

Condensation runs through the con­densation channel into the drainage
hole to the evaporation pan and does
not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob­serve the following information:
→"Cleaning the condensation chan-
nel and drainage hole", Page20.

12.2 Defrosting in the freezer compartment

The fully automatic NoFrost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
remains frost-free. Defrosting is not
required.

13 Cleaning and servi-

cing
