4.1 Storing food
WARNING
Risk of fire
u
Do not use any electrical appliances in the food area of
the appliance unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling power
goes down if ventilation is not sufficient.
u
Always keep air slots clear.
When storing food, always observe the following:
q
Air vents on the inside rear wall are unobstructed.
q
Air vents on the fan are unobstructed.
q
Food is in sealed packaging.
q
Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste are
stored in sealed containers or covered.
q
Raw meat and fish are in clean, sealed containers to
prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto
other foods.
q
Liquids are in sealed containers.
q
Foods are not stored too closely together, as the air
needs to circulate.
Note
Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to food perishing.
4.1.1 Fridge section
The natural air circulation creates a range of temperatures.
Arrange your food as follows:
u
In the top section and in the door: butter and cheese,
preserves and tubes.
u
In the coldest zone Fig. 1 (C): easily perishable food such
as prepared meals.
4.1.2 BioFresh
BioFresh helps certain fresh foods stay fresh for longer
compared to conventional cooling methods.
In the case of foods with a minimum shelf life, the date
indicated on the packaging still applies.
Note
If the temperatures drop below 0 °C foods may freeze to
each other.
u
Store cold-sensitive vegetables such as cucumbers,
aubergines, courgettes, and cold-sensitive tropical fruit,
in the fridge compartment.
Fruit & Vegetable-Safe
This provides a fresh storage climate with the lid closed. A
moist climate is suitable for storing loose foods with a high
moisture content (e.g. salad, vegetables, fruit).
The air moisture in the compartment depends on the mois‐
ture content of the items being stored and the number of
times the door is opened. You can adjust the air moisture.
Arrange your food as follows:
u
Store your loose fruit and vegetables.
u
Excessive air moisture: Regulate the air humidity
(see 7.9 Adjusting the moisture levels) .
Meat & Dairy-Safe
Here a relatively dry storage climate is set. A dry climate is
great for dry or packaged foods (e.g. dairy products, meat,
fish, sausages).
Arrange your food as follows:
u
Place the dry or packaged foods inside.
Fish & Seafood-Safe
A relatively dry storage climate is set here. This climate
is great for dry or packaged groceries (e.g. dairy products,
meat, fish, seafood, sausage).
A Fish & Seafood tray that can be moved or removed is
included in the compartment.
The temperature can be adjusted via the display in the
control panel. Dividing the compartment into different
temperature zones is only possible when the tray is
inserted. (see Temperature)
The following temperature combinations are possible:
Fig. 5
Arrange your food as follows:
Fig. 6
u
Position Fish & Seafood tray. The position shown gives
you an optimal cooling function (see Fig. 67) .
u
Zone -2 °C: Store fresh seafood or fish.
u
Zone 0 °C: Store dairy products or packaged meat.
Note
You can achieve the highest level of energy efficiency using
the temperature combination 0 °C / 0 °C.
Energy consumption is slightly higher using the temperature
combination -2 °C / 0 C° and -2 °C / -2 °C.
4.2 Storage times
Refer to the specified storage times as a guide.
In the case of foods with a minimum shelf life, the date
indicated on the packaging still applies.
4.2.1 Fridge section
Always follow the best-before date stated on the packaging.
4.2.2 BioFresh
Recommended storage periods in the Meat & Dairy-Safe
Butter at 1 °C up to 90 days
Hard cheese at 1 °C up to 110 days
Milk at 1 °C up to 12 days
Sausage, cold meats at 1 °C up to 8 days
Poultry at 1 °C up to 6 days
Pork at 1 °C up to 6 days
