URefrigerator

compartment

Ref r i ger at or compar t ment

The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing

meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready

meals and pastries.

The temperature can be set from +36 °F (+2 °C)...

+46 °F (+8 °C).

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to

store highly perishable groceries in the short to

medium term. The lower the selected temperature,

the slower the enzymatic and chemical processes

and deterioration by microorganisms. A temperature

of +39 °F (+4 °C) or lower ensures optimum

freshness and safety of the stored groceries.

Note when storing food

Note: Avoid contact between food and the back

panel.

Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired and

food or packaging may freeze to the back panel.

■ Store fresh, undamaged food.

The quality and freshness will then be retained for

longer.

■ In the case of ready products and bottled goods,

do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-

by date indicated by the manufacturer.

■ To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack

or cover food well before placing it into the

appliance.

This will prevent flavors being transferred

between foods and the plastic parts from

becoming discolored.

■ Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before

placing them into the refrigerator compartment.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator

compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment

creates different chill zones.

Coldest zone

The coldest zone is in the interior at the back panel

and in the cold storage compartment.

Note: Store delicate food (e.g. fish, sausages and

meat) in the coldest zone.

Warmest zone

The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the

warmest zone. Cheese can continue to release its

aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable container with humidity

controller

The vegetable container is the optimum storage

location for fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust

the humidity in the vegetable container via the

humidity controller and a special seal. This allows

fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored up to twice as

long as with conventional storage.

The humidity in the vegetable container can be set

according to the type and quantity of products to be

stored:

■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower

humidity with controller position

Ú

■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small

load – set higher humidity with controller position

Ù

Notes

■ For optimum preservation of quality and flavor

store fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,

banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables

sensitive to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers,

zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes)

outside of the appliance at temperatures of

approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) ... +54 °F (+12 °C).

■ Condensation may form in the vegetable

container depending on the type and quantity of

products stored.

Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust

the humidity in the vegetable container with the

humidity controller.

Cold Storage compartment

The cold storage compartment has lower

temperatures than the refrigerator compartment.

Temperatures below +32 °F (0 °C) may occur.

Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable

for salads, vegetables and groceries sensitive to

cold.

The temperature of the cold storage compartment

can be varied using the ventilation opening. Push the

temperature controller down to make the

temperature lower. Push the temperature controller

up to make the temperature higher.

en-us Freezer compartment

20

WFreezer compartment

Fr eezer compar t ment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

■ storing frozen food

■ making ice cubes

■ freezing food

The temperature can be set from -11 °F (-

24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °C).

The freezer compartment can be used to store

perishable foods long-term almost without any

noticeable reduction in quality, as the low

temperatures considerably slow down or stop

deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all valuable

ingredients are largely retained.

The time between putting fresh food in the freezer

compartment and it freezing solid depends on the

following factors:

■ temperature set

■ type of food

■ amount of food in the freezer compartment

■ quantity and type of storage

Fully utilizing the freezer volume

To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the

freezer compartment:

■ Remove the frozen food container (small).

■ Store the frozen food in the frozen food container

(large).

Purchasing frozen food

■ Ensure the packaging is not damaged.

■ Check there is a sell-by date.

■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must

be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.

■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,

transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in

the freezer compartment quickly.

When loading products

■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top

compartment.

This is where it will freeze especially quickly and

gently.

■ Distribute food in the compartments or frozen

food containers.

■ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into

contact with frozen food.

If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food

containers.

■ Important for unrestricted air circulation in the

appliance:

push in frozen food containers up to the limit

stop.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.

Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable

for freezing than food which is eaten raw.

Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate

to the food in order to retain the best possible

nutritional value, flavor and color:

■ Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.

■ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add

sugar or ascorbic acid solution.

Information on how to do this can be found in

relevant literature.

Suitable for freezing

■ Baked goods

■ Fish and seafood

■ Meat

■ Poultry and game

■ Vegetables, fruit and herbs

■ Eggs without shells

■ Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark

■ Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews,

cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and

desserts
