Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
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 areas in the refrigerator
are in the top section towards the front
and in the top of the door. Use this for
storing butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest areas in a refrigerator are
directly above the vegetable containers
and next to the back wall.
Use this 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.
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.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil, make sure that it does not
come into contact with plastic
components as this could cause
stress cracks.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the refrigerator, as it may freeze to
the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the appliance.
Food which should not be
stored in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for storing in a
refrigerator at temperatures below 5°C, as
some food is sensitive to cold.
Cucumbers, for example, become glassy,
aubergines bitter and potatoes sweet.
Tomatoes and oranges loose their aroma
and the peel on citrus fruits hardens.
Food which is sensitive to cold
includes:
–
Pineapple, avocado, bananas,
pomegranate, mango, melon,
papaya, passion fruit, citrus fruit
(such as lemons, oranges,
mandarins, grapefruit).
–
Fruit which is not yet ripe
