Practical Tips
Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber. The coldest area is directly
above the vegetable drawers. Use this area for all delicate and highly
perishable food such as:
•
Fish, meat, poultry
•
Sausage products, ready meals
•
Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
•
Fresh dough, cake mixtures
•
Pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a label stating it should be
stored at a temperature of approximately 4°C
The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this area for
storing butter and cheese.
To achieve the most effective food preservation for the longest possible time and
to avoid wasting any food, position the products as shown on page 9. In addition,
this figure illustrates the layout of drawers, baskets and shelves, which allows
the most efficient use of energy. Optimal temperature and storage conditions will
extend product shelf life and optimise electricity consumption. Optimal storage
temperature range should be stated on the food packaging.
