Correct Storage
For physical reasons, there are different
temperature regions in the fridge. The
coldest region is on the lowest storage
shelf. Warmer regions are the top stor-
age shelf, the vegetable drawer and the
storage compartments on the door.
The arrangement example shows at
which places in the refrigerator suitable
temperatures for various types of foods
exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always be
covered or packaged, to prevent drying
and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
Aluminium foil.

hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right
through to the core as quickly as possible.
Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
