Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■ Coldest zone is between the arrow
stamped on the side and the glass
shelf situated below. Fig. 4
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■ Warmest zone is at the very top
of the door and in the lower vegetable
container.
Note
Store at the very top of the door e.g.
hard cheese and butter. Cheese can
then continue to release its flavour
and the butter will still be easy
to spread.
Vegetable container with
humidity controller
Fig. 5
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 twice as long as with
conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable
container can be set according to the
type and amount 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
Notes
■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,
banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and
vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.
aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes)
should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures
of approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for
optimum preservation of quality and
flavour.
■ 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.
