Humidity Control (not on all models)
On some models, there is an adjusta-
ble air grille in front of the shelf
above the fruit and vegetable com-
partments.
The opening in the ventilation slots
can be steplessly adjusted with a sli-
der.
Slider in right position: Ventilation
slots opened.
Slider in left position: Ventilation slots closed.
With the ventilation slots open, the stronger air circulation results in a
lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments....

43
Bottle Holder (not on all models)
Some models are equipped with a bottle
holder in the bottle compartment. This is
used to prevent individual bottles from
falling over and can be slid sideways.
Correct Storage
For physical reasons, there are different
temperature regions in the fridge. The
coldest region is on the lowest storage
shelf. Warmer regions are the top stor-
age shelf, the vegetable drawer and the
storage compartments on the door.
The arrangement example shows at
which places in the...

Freezing and storing frozen food
The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.
Important!
¥ The temperature in the freezer compartment must be Ð18¡C or cold-
er before freezing fresh food or storing food already frozen.
¥ Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24
hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right
through to the core as quickly as possible.
¥ Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice...

45
¥ The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
¥ Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for
the frozen food to dry out.
¥ Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
¥ Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or pasteÐlike
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-
up time can be requested...

Defrosting
46
Defrosting the freezer compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, mois-
ture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this
frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circum-
stances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of
frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least
once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the...
