unnoticed and to avoid energy being
wasted if the door is left open.

Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator
section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the
lowest section of the appliance. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in a refrigerator is
normally directly above the vegetable
containers. In this appliance,...

The StayFresh zone is divided into two
areas:

humidity level of approx. 45 %.
–Thehumidity controlled
compartmenthas a control for
setting the humidity level between
45 % and 90 %. Slide the control to
the humidity level you require.

by the moisture content of the food
being stored and how often the
compartment is opened.

Storing food correctly
Store food covered or packaged. This
will prevent food smells or tastes from
affecting other foods, and prevent food
from drying out and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. The
growth of bacteria, such as salmonella,
can be avoided by setting the correct
temperature and maintaining good
standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables can be stored
loose in the vegetable containers.
However, you should bear in mind that
some types of vegetables give off a...

Moving the shelves
The shelves can be adjusted according
to the height of the food.
^Pull the shelves forward and half-way
out and then lift them upwards or
downwards to remove them.
^With the rear barrier facing upwards,
place the shelf at the required
position.
The rear barrier must face upwards to
prevent food from touching the back
of the appliance and freezing to it.

the appliance one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be
pushed under...

Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be
exceeded. The maximum freezing
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour
period is given on the data plate
“Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs”.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, check
– that the packaging is not damaged,
– the use by date,
– the temperature at which the frozen
food is being stored in the...

–Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before
freezing. Only season cooked food
lightly before freezing but care
should be taken as the taste of some
spices alters when frozen.
–Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw, and increases
the energy consumption
considerably. Allow hot foods and
drinks to cool down before placing
them in the freezer.
Packing
^Freeze food in portions.
Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- grease-proof paper
-...

When freezing, make sure that food
already frozen does not come into
contact with fresh food being frozen
as this could cause the frozen food
to begin to defrost.
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored for
effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Marker system for frozen food
Markers serve as a reminder of how
long food has been stored.
