Storing food in the refrigerator section


Risk of explosion due to
flammable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans).

Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily foods.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigeration appliance
or the appliance door, make sure
that it does not come into contact
with plastic components as this
could cause stress cracks or break
the plastic.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks
onto the plastic parts of the
refrigeration appliance.

Different storage zones

Due to natural air circulation, there are
different temperature zones in the
refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the refrigeration section.
Make use of the different zones when
placing food in the appliance.
Tip: To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely together in
the appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption
will increase.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.

Tip: Do not store food in such a way
that it touches the rear wall of the
refrigerator section as it may freeze to
the rear wall.
This appliance has Dynamic cooling,
which helps to keep an even
temperature when the fan is running,
making the difference between the
various zones less pronounced.
