NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
"Cleaning and Maintenance"
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments are suit-
able for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making
ice-cream and making ice-cubes.

Temperature zones and storage recommendations
The optimal cooling temperature is around 4∼7 de-
grees for the central area of the cooling.
Different cooling zones are created by the air circula-
tion. Regardless of the power level, cold air drops off.
• The coldest zone is on the cooling rear wall and in
the lower cooling part. Recommended for storing
perishable foods such as meat, fish and sausages
at around 2∼3 degrees.
• About that it becomes less cold. For dairy prod-
ucts such as yoghurt, cheese and co., the center
of the cooling is just the right temperature at
around 4∼7 degrees.
• Well-packed leftovers or preserves needs less
cooling. The upper cooling part at around
6∼8 degrees could be the right place.
• The cooling door is one of the warmest locations.
The upper racks are good location for food that
needs moderate cooling, such as butter and eggs.
There is space for drinks in the lower door racks.
• The vegetable box (depending on model) is suita-
ble for fruit and vegetables at a temperature of
around 8 degrees, depending on the cooling tem-
perature. To ensure that delicate fruits and vege-
tables feel good, a glass shelf above avoids the
falling cold.
Freezer
The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of -18°C or colder for several months;
to prepare ice cubes and to freeze fresh food.
