Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of air in
the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
these different zones when placing
food in the appliance.

This appliance uses a dynamic
cooling feature to establish a
constant temperature during
cooling. As a result, the differences
between temperature zones are less
pronounced.

Leave some space between items, so
air can circulate freely around them.
Make sure the ventilation slits are not
covered - this is important for the
cooling performance.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section
of the door (storage shelf). Use this
area to store items such as butter and
cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator is
directly above the SmartFresh drawers.
The temperature in the drawers
themselves is even colder.

Use these cold areas in the refrigerator
for all highly perishable foods, such as:

– fish, meat, poultry,

– deli meats, store-bought meals,

– dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream,

– fresh bread dough, pastry dough,

cake batters,

– dairy products.

Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.

If storing high-proof alcohol, make
sure it is tightly closed and stored
upright.

Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.

Do not allow food to touch the rear
wall of the appliance, it may freeze
to the wall.

To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator. Do not
cover the fan in the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this is essential for
keeping the appliance cool.
