FOOD-STORAGE TIPS
FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for ready
meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy products, fruit
and vegetables and beverage .
AIR VENTILATION
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator
compartment results in zones with different
temperatures . It is coldest directly above the fruits
and vegetables crisper and at the rear wall . It is
warmest at the top front of the compartment .
HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE
› Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass
containers and cling film to wrap foods .
› Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor
transfer or cover them .
› Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas
and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit,
vegetables and salad, should always be separated
or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for
example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi
fruits or cabbage .
WHERE TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE
› On the fridge shelves: ready meals, tropical fruits,
cheeses, deli .
› In the coldest area (the one above the fruits and
vegetables crisper): meat, fish, cold cuts, cakes

Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy
consumption and reduction of the refrigerating
performance .
Do not cover air slots by food on other staff - they
are optimized for proper air circulation and food
preservation .
› Do not store food too close together to enable
sufficient air circulation .
› To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle
holder .
› If you have a little quantity of food to store in the
refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above
the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the
coolest area of the compartment .
› Be aware to do not close air slots by the food .
› In the fruits and vegetables crisper: fruits, salad,
vegetables .
› In the door: butter, jams, sauces, pickles, cans,
bottles, beverage cartons, eggs .
