5.8 Storing food and making ice
cubes
5.8.1 Storing products in the cooling
compartment
Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours
before filling it.
Always store pre-cooled foods in the refri-
gerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when
transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
Fig. 15 Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
Products must be packed - best of all in
closed containers, wrapped in aluminium
foil or similar - and stored separately from
each other, in order to prevent drying out or
odours.
Allow foods that have been warmed up to
cool down before storing.
Avoid storing products in the refrigerator
that could emit volatile flammable gases.
Do not overfill the storage grids and com-
partments to prevent obstructing the inter-
nal air circulation.
Maintain a clearance of approx. 5 - 10 mm
between chilled products and post-evapo-
rator ("cooling fins").
Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation gril-

les free from obstructions.
5.8.2 Storing products in the freezer
compartment
Do not keep carbonated drinks in the free-
zer.
The freezer compartment is suitable for
making ice cubes and for short-term stora
ge of frozen food. It is not suitable as a
means of freezing foods.
