Storing food in the refrigerator section
25
Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different tem-
perature zones in the refrigerator sec-
tion. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
area of the refrigerator section. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing but-
ter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-
tion is directly above the fruit and ve-
getable drawer and at the back of the
appliance.
Use this for all delicate and highly per-
ishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products con-
taining propellants (e.g. spray cans).
Danger of explosion.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the appliance or the ap-
pliance door, make sure that it does
not come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause
stress cracks or break the plastic.
Food must not touch the back of the
refrigerator section as it may freeze
to the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the refrigerator.
