You can keep meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, prepared meals and pastries in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature can be set from
2 °C to 8 °C.
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temper-ature, the longer the food remains fresh.

Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment

  • Only store food when fresh and undamaged.
  • Store food covered or in air-tight packaging.
  • To avoid impeding the circulation of air and to prevent food from freezing, do not place food directly against the back wall.
  • Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance.
  • Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the pull-out container.

Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages, and meat in the coldest zone.

Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Tip: Store food that does not spoil easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then continue to release its aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.

“OK” sticker
The “OK” sticker lets you check whether the refrigerator compartment reaches the safe temperature ranges of +4 °C or colder recommended for food.
The “OK” sticker is not included with all models.

Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, freeze food and make ice cubes in the freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer compartment depends on the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. Long-term storage of food should be at –18 °C or lower. The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable food long-term. The low temperatures slow down or stop the spoilage.

Freezer compartment door
To ensure that the frozen food that is stored does not thaw and the freezer compartment is not covered in too much ice, always close the freezer compartment door.

Freezing capacity
The freezing capacity indicates the quantity of food that can be frozen right through to the center within a specific period of time.
Information on freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. → “Appliance”, Fig. 1 / 5, Page 13

Prerequisites for freezing capacity

  1. When placing fresh food in the appliance, switch on Fast freezing.
    → “Switching on Fast freezing”, Page 15
  2. Place the food as close as possible to the back wall of the freezer compartment.

Tips for storing food in the freezer compartment

  • Store food in air-tight packaging.
  • Do not bring food that is to be frozen into contact with frozen food.
  • Spread out the food over a wide area in the freezer compartment.

Tips for freezing fresh food

  • Freeze fresh and undamaged food only
  • Freeze food in portions.
  • Cooked food is more suitable than
    food that can be eaten raw.
  • Vegetables: Wash, chop up and
    blanch before freezing.
  • Fruit: Wash, pit, and perhaps peel,
    possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
  • Food that is suitable for freezing includes baked items, fish and sea food, meat, game, poultry, eggs without shells, cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers.
  • Food that is unsuitable for freezing includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, raw apples and pears, yogurt, sour cream, crème fraîche, and mayonnaise.

Defrosting

Defrosting in the refrigerator compartment

When the appliance is operating, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel of the refrigerator compartment due to functional reasons. The back panel in the refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically.
Condensation runs through the condensation channel into the drainage hole to the evaporation pan and does not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can drain and odors do not form, observe the following information:

“Cleaning the condensation channel and drainage hole”, Page 19.

Defrosting in the freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically. A layer of hoar-frost in the freezer compartment im-pairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer compartment.
