Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can be found inside
your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram in
chapter Customer service).
Fully utilizing the freezer volume
The maximum amount of food can be placed in the
freezer by removing all fittings. The food can be stacked
directly on the shelves and in the bottom of the freezer
compartment.
Removing the fittings
Pull out the frozen food container all the way, lift at the
front and remove.
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs,
ready meals and pastries.
Note when 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, color and freshness, pack or cover
■
food well before placing in the appliance. This will
prevent the transfer of flavors and the discoloration
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 arrow stamped on the
■
side and the glass shelf situated below.
Note:
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the
coldest zone.
The 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 flavor,
and butter will still be easy to spread.
