Using the refrigerator section efficiently

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator
section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the
lowest section of the appliance. Make
use of the different zones when placing
food in the appliance.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in a refrigerator is
normally directly above the vegetable
containers. In this appliance, however,
the coldest area is in the StayFresh
zone.
Use the coldest areas in the refrigerator
section and in the StayFresh zone for all
delicate and highly perishable food,
e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
24
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door.
Traces of oil can cause stress
cracks to occur in the plastic
components in the door.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the appliance, as it may freeze to the
back wall.

StayFresh zone

A temperature of between 0 - 3 °C
combined with a high humidity level
provides the optimum storage
conditions for fresh food, enabling it to
be kept fresher for longer than in a
refrigerator.
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh.
Bear this in mind when shopping.
The temperature in the StayFresh zone
is automatically held at approx. 0 °C.
