Chill Zones In The Refrigerator Compartment; Cool-Fresh Compartment; Storage Times In The Cool-Fresh Compartment At 0 °C; Defrosting - Siemens KI81FH Series User Manual

¡ Leave warm food and beverages
to cool down before placing them
in the refrigerator compartment.
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 partition
and in the door rack for large bottles.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tips
¡ Store food that does not spoil eas-
ily 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.
¡ Store perishable food such as fish,
sausages and meat in the cool-
fresh compartment.

ment retains the quality of the food
