  • The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable 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.

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

Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the storage container.

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.

“OK” sticker
