Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the 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.
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
directly above the crispers.
Use this area for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.,
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready-made
meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough and batters,
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in
this appliance, nor 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.
If you are storing bottles of oil, or
food containing high levels of fat or
oil, take care not to let the fat or oil
come into contact with plastic
components in the appliance. Fat
and oil can cause stress cracks in
the plastic components.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance, as it may freeze to
the back wall.
Food that should not be stored
in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.
This includes:
– Fruit and vegetables that are
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,
avocados, papayas, passionfruit,
eggplant, peppers, tomatoes and
cucumbers
– Fruit that is not yet ripe
– Potatoes
– Some hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan.
