Refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries. Storing food ■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer. ■ In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer. ■ To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavors and the discoloration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment. ■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance. Note: Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel. Note the chill zones in the refrigerator section The air circulation in the refrigerator section creates different chill zones: ■ Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the glass shelf situated below. Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone. ■ The warmest zone is at the very top of the door. Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavor and butter will still be easy to spread. en-us Vegetable container with humidity controller The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. A humidity controller and a special seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored up to twice as long as with conventional storage. The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and quantity of products to be stored: ■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load - lower air humidity ■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or small load - higher air humidity Note: Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) to +54 °F (+12 °C) for optimum preservation of quality and flavor. Note: Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller. 11
