Different storage zones
Natural air circulation gives rise to
different temperature zones inside 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 the refrigerator
section is normally directly above the
vegetable containers. In this appliance,
however, the coldest area is in the
Stayfresh (0 °C) zone.
Use the coldest areas in the refrigerator
section and in the Stayfresh (0 °C)
zone for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a minimum
temperature of 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store 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.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance. Otherwise it may
freeze to the back wall.
Stayfresh (0 °C) zone
A temperature of between 0 - 3 °C
combined with a high humidity level
provides the optimum storage
conditions for fresh food, enabling it to
be kept fresher for longer than in the
refrigerator section.
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh.
Bear this in mind when shopping.
The temperature in the Stayfresh (0 °C)
zone is automatically held at approx.
0 °C.
