only reached after several hours.
Do not put any food in the appli-
ance until the set temperature has
been reached.
The front panels of the housing are
temporarily heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area
of the door seal.
When closing the door, make sure
that the door is not blocked by
stored items.
When you close the door, a va-
cuum may be created. The door is
then difficult to open again. Wait a
moment until the vacuum is offset.
The temperature in the appliance
varies due to the following condi-
tions:
– How often the appliance is
opened
– Load capacity
– Temperature of newly stored
food
– Ambient temperature
– Direct sunlight
7.3 Switching off the appliance

.
The refrigerator compartment tem-
perature influences freezer com-
partment temperature. Refrigerator
compartment temperatures that
are set to warm generate warmer
freezer compartment temperatures.
Refrigerator compartment8 Refrigerator compart-
ment
You can keep meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com-
partment.
The temperature can be set from
"cold" to "colder".
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
13
en Freezer compartment
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
8.1 Tips for storing food in the
refrigerator compartment
Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
Store food covered or in air-tight
packaging.
To avoid impeding the circulation
of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food so that
it has direct contact with the back
wall.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
8.2 Chill zones in the refriger-
ator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the bottom
area at the back panel.
Tip: Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip: Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
8.3 Cooling capacity
The temperature in the refrigerator
compartment may rise temporarily if
loaded with fairly larger amounts of
food or drinks.
Tip: Turn the temperature controller
to a higher setting for approximately
7hours.
"Setting the refrigerator compart-
ment temperature", Page13
Freezer compartment9 Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer com-
partment depends on the temperat-
ure in the refrigerator compartment.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
9.1 Freezing capacity
The freezing capacity indicates the
quantity of food that can be frozen
right through to the centre within a
specific period of time.

possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.
Food that is suitable for freezing in-
cludes baked items, fish and sea-
food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.
Food that is unsuitable for freezing
includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in
shells, grapes, raw apples and
pears, yoghurt, sour cream, crème
fraîche and mayonnaise.
