Thawing frozen food
Depending on the type and application, select one
of the following options:
■ at room temperature
■ in the refrigerator
■ in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air
■ in the microwave
m Caution
Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready
meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.
No longer store the frozen produce for the max.
storage period.
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, colour and freshness, pack
or cover food well before placing in the appliance.
This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the
discolouration 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
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones:
■ Coldest zone is between the vegetable container and
the glass shelf situated above.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat)
in the coldest zone above the vegetable container.
■ 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 flavour
and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with humidity
controller
To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and
vegetables, you can set the air humidity in the
vegetable container depending on the quantity stored:
■ smaller quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air
humidity
■ large quantities of fruit and vegetables – low 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.
