Correct storage
For physical reasons, there are dif-
ferent temperature regions in the
fridge. The coldest region is on the
lowest storage shelf. Warmer
regions are the top storage shelf,
the vegetable drawer and the stor-
age compartments on the door.
The arrangement example shows at
which places in the refrigerator
suitable temperatures for various
types of foods exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should
always be covered or packaged, to
prevent drying and tainting of other
food.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
Freezing and storing frozen food
The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or cold-
er before freezing fresh food or storing food already frozen.
• Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24
hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right
through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
