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 storage shelf, the veg-
etable drawer and the
storage compartments on
the door.
The arrangement example
shows at which places in
the refrigerator suitable
temperatures for various types of foods exist.
Tip:Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to pre-
vent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited...

+1.All foods must be packed into airtight packages or containers prior to
freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that
no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.

stick to the food causing skin abrasions.
2.Lay the packaged food on the base of the freezer compartment.
Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the

Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the
thawing frost evaporates by itself.
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...

Technical terminology
¥Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as
refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low,
that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can
cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
¥
Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refriger-
ant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a con-
denser and pipe work.
