Note the chill zones in the
refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator 
compartment creates different chill 
zones:
■
Coldest zone is between the arrow 
stamped on the side and the
glass shelf situated below. Fig. 5
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, 
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■
Warmest zone is at the very top 
of the door. 
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter 
in the warmest zone. Cheese can then 
continue to release its flavour and 
the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with
humidity controller
Fig. 4
The vegetable container is the optimum 
storage location for fresh fruit and 
vegetables. A humidity controller and 
a special seal can be used to adjust the 
air humidity in the vegetable container. 
This allows fresh fruit and vegetables 
to be stored twice as long as with 
conventional storage. 
The air humidity in the vegetable 
container can be set according to the 
type and amount of products to be 
stored:
■
Mainly fruit as well as for a large load 
– lower air humidity
■
Mainly vegetables as well as for 
a mixed load or small load – higher air 
humidity
Notes
■
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, 
banana, papaya and citrus fruit) 
and vegetables sensitive to cold 
(e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, 
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) 
should be stored outside the 
refrigerator at temperatures of approx. 
+8 °C to +12 °C for optimum 
preservation of quality and flavour.
■
Condensation may form in the 
vegetable container depending on the 
type and quantity of products stored. 
Remove condensation with a dry 
cloth and adjust air humidity in the 
vegetable container with the humidity 
controller.
Super cooling
Super cooling sets the refrigerator 
temperature to the coldest temperature 
setting for approx. 15 hours. Then the 
appliance automatically switches to the 
temperature set prior to super cooling 
mode.
Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.
■
before placing large quantities of food 
in the refrigerator compartment.
■
for the fast cooling of drinks.
Note
When super cooling is switched on, 
increased operating noises may occur.
