Refrigerator compartment

11 Refrigerator compartment

Refrigerator compartment

You can keep meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, drinks, pre-

pared meals and pastries in the refrigerator compartment.

The temperature can be set from 33°F (1°C) to 43°F

(6°C).

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store

highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The

lower the selected temperature, the longer the food re-

mains fresh.

11.1 Tips for storing food in the refrigerator

compartment

¡Only store food when fresh and undamaged.

¡Store food covered or in air-tight packaging.

¡To avoid impeding the circulation of air and to prevent

food from freezing, do not place food in front of the in-

ner ventilation openings or in direct contact with the

back wall.

¡Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before plac-

ing in the appliance.

¡Observe the best-before date or expiration date speci-

fied by the manufacturer.

Freezer compartment en-us

11.2 Chill zones in the refrigerator compart-

ment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates

different chill zones.

Coldest zone

The coldest zone is in the storage container.

Tip:Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages

and meat in the coldest zone.

Warmest zone

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

Tip:Store groceries that do not spoil easily in the warmest

zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then con-

tinue to release its flavor and the butter will still be easy to

spread.

Freezer compartment

12 Freezer compartment

Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, freeze food and make ice

cubes in the freezer compartment.

The temperature can be set from 6°F (−14°C) to −7°F

(−22°C).

Long-term storage of food should be at 0°F (−18°C) or

lower.

The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable

food long-term. The low temperatures slow down or stop

the spoilage.

12.1 Tips for storing food in the freezer com-

partment

¡Store food in air-tight packaging.

¡Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with

frozen food.

¡Distribute the food over a wide area in the suspended

frozen food container.

¡To quickly and gently freeze larger quantities of fresh

food, place this in the frozen food pull-out container.

12.2 Tips for freezing fresh food

¡Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

¡Freeze food in portions.

¡Cooked food is more suitable for freezing than food that

can be eaten raw.

¡Vegetables: Wash, chop up and blanch before freezing.

¡Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar or

ascorbic acid solution.

¡Food that is suitable for freezing includes baked items,

fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, eggs without

shells, cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared meals

and leftovers.

¡Food that is unsuitable for freezing includes lettuce,

radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, raw apples and pears,

yogurt, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

If you select suitable packaging material and the correct

type of packaging, you can determine the product quality

and prevent freezer burn.

1. Place the food in the packaging.

2. Squeeze out the air.

3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor or dry-

ing out.

4. Label the packaging with the contents and the date of

freezing.

12.3 Defrosting methods for frozen food

CAUTION

During the thawing process, bacteria may multiply and

spoil the frozen food.

▶Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed food.

▶Refreeze food only after cooking.

▶The frozen items should no longer be stored for the

maximum storage period.

¡Defrost animal-based food, such as fish, meat, cheese,

curd cheese, in the refrigerator compartment.

¡Defrost bread at room temperature.

¡Prepare food for immediate consumption in the mi-

crowave, in the oven, or on the cooktop.
