4 Foods management

4.1 Storing food

WARNING
Risk of fire
u Do not use any electrical appliances in the food area of
the appliance unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling power
goes down if ventilation is not sufficient.
u Always keep air slots clear.
When storing food, always observe the following:
Air vents on the inside rear wall are unobstructed.
q
Air vents on the fan are unobstructed.
q
Food is in sealed packaging.
q
Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste are
q
stored in sealed containers or covered.
66
Raw meat and fish are in clean, sealed containers to
q
prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto
other foods.
Liquids are in sealed containers.
q
Foods are not stored too closely together, as the air
q
needs to circulate.
Note
Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to food perishing.
4.1.1 Fridge section
The natural air circulation creates a range of temperatures.
Arrange your food as follows:
u In the top section and in the door: butter and cheese,
preserves and tubes.
u In the coldest zone Fig. 1 (C): easily perishable food such
as prepared meals.
4.1.2 ColdFresh
ColdFresh allows you to store certain fresh foods for a
longer period of time in comparison to conventional refriger‐
ation systems.
In the case of foods with a minimum shelf life, the date
indicated on the packaging still applies.
Note
If the temperatures drop below 0 °C foods may freeze to
each other.
u Store cold-sensitive vegetables such as cucumbers,
aubergines, courgettes, and cold-sensitive tropical fruit,
in the fridge compartment.
ColdFresh with humidity control
This provides a fresh storage climate with the lid closed. A
moist climate is suitable for storing loose foods with a high
moisture content (e.g. salad, vegetables, fruit).
The air moisture in the compartment depends on the mois‐
ture content of the items being stored and the number of
times the door is opened. You can adjust the air moisture.
Arrange your food as follows:
u Store your loose fruit and vegetables.
u Excessive air moisture: Regulate the air humidity .
ColdFresh without humidity control
Here a relatively dry storage climate is set. A dry climate is
great for dry or packaged foods (e.g. dairy products, meat,
fish, sausage).
Arrange your food as follows:
u Place the dry or packaged foods inside.
4.1.3 Freezer compartment*
The air temperature can vary in the compartment when
shown on a thermometer or other gauges. The temperature
varies more when the compartment is half-full or empty and
can rise to more than -18 °C.
Freezing food
You can freeze as many kilograms of fresh food within 24
hours as is indicated on the model plate .
So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, keep
to the following quantities per pack:
- Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg
Meat up to 2.5 kg
-
