The correct temperature The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
Storing food Storing food Natural air circulation gives rise to different temperature zones inside the appliance. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. The coldest zones are against the back wall and above the vegetable containers. Use the area above the vegetable containers for perishable foods such as meat, sausage, fish etc. The warmest zone is in the top section of the door.

Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the electronic unit or into the light. Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when cleaning. Never use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance.
Cleaning and care Metal grille at the back of the appliance The metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. When cleaning the grille, make sure that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way. After cleaning Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigerator. Switch the appliance on with the On / Off dial.
