Refrigerator compartment
11 Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment
You can keep dairy products, eggs, prepared meals, pas-
tries, open preserves and hard cheese 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.
¡ 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.
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 pull-out container.
Tip:Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages
and meat in the cool-fresh compartment.
→ "Cool-fresh compartment", Page18
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.
Cool-fresh compartment

Cool-fresh compartment
In the cool-fresh compartment, you can keep fresh food
fresh up to three times longer than in the refrigerator com-
partment.
The temperature can be set from 29°F (−2°C) to 40°F
(4°C) using pre-defined storage settings.
Storing food in the cool-fresh compartment retains the
quality of the food better. The low temperature and the op-
timum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh
food.
