Storage container
The temperatures in the storage container are lower than in the refrigerator compartment. Temperatures be-low 0 °C may occur occasionally. In order to reach temperatures close to 0 °C in the storage container, set the refrigerator compartment temperature to 2 °C.
Use the lower temperatures in the storage container to store highly perishable food, e.g. fish, meat and sausages.

Fruit and vegetable container with humidity control
Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose in the fruit and vegetable container. Cover any chopped fruit and vegetables, or store in air-tight packaging. You can adjust the humidity in the fruit and vegetable container using the humidity controller and a special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored for up to twice as long as with conventional storage. Fig. 7

The air humidity in the fruit and vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of food to be stored by pressing the humidity controller:

• Low humidity required when primarily storing fruit or mixed items, or if the appliance is very full.
• High humidity required when primarily storing vegetables or when the appliance is not very full.
  Condensation may form in the fruit and vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored.

Remove the condensation with a dry cloth and adjust the air humidity to a lower setting using the humidity controller.
To ensure that the quality and aroma are retained, store fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to cold out-side of the appliance at temperatures of approx. 8 °C to 12 °C, e.g. pine-apple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucumbers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes.

Refrigerator compartment

You can keep meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, prepared meals and pastries in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature can be set from 2 °C to 6 °C.
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perish-able foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temperature, the longer the food remains fresh.

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 appliance.
• Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.

Coldest zone
The coldest zone is on the top shelf.
Tip:  Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages and meat in the coldest zone.

Warmest zone
The warmest zone is on the fixed shelf.
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.

Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, freeze food and make ice cubes in the freezer compartment.
The temperature can be set from 16 °C to −24 °C.
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.

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.
Information on freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. Fig. 1 /5

Prerequisites for freezing capacity

1. Approx. 24 hours before placing fresh food in the appliance, switch on Super freezing. → “Switching on Super freezing”,

• Place the food over the whole area of the frozen food containers.
• To quickly and gently freeze larger quantities of fresh food, place this in the bottom frozen food container.
• To ensure that the air can circulate freely in the appliance, push the frozen food containers in as far as they will go.

Tips for freezing fresh food

• Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

• Freeze food in portions.

• Cooked food is more suitable than food that can be eaten raw.

• Vegetables: Wash, chop up and blanch before freezing.

• Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
  Food that is suitable for freezing includes 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.

Packing frozen food
If you select suitable packaging material and the correct type of pack-aging, you can determine the product quality and prevent freezer burn.

1. Place the food in the packaging.
2. Squeeze out the air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor and drying out.
4. Label the packaging with the con-tents and the date of freezing.

Shelf life of frozen food at −18 °C

The imprinted freezer calendar indicates the maximum storage duration in months at a constant temperature of –18 °C.

Defrosting methods for frozen food
CAUTION
Risk of harm to health!
During the thawing process, bacteria may multiply and spoil the frozen food.
