FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for
ready meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy
products, fruit and vegetables and beverage.
AIR VENTILATION
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator
compartment results in zones with di erent
temperatures. It is coldest directly above the fruits
and vegetables crisper and at the rear wall. It is
warmest at the top front of the compartment.
Insu cient ventilation results in an increase in
energy consumption and reduction of the
refrigerating performance.
Do not cover air slots by food on other sta -
they are optimized for proper air circulation and
food preservation.
FOOD-STORAGE TIPS
HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE
› Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass
containers and cling  lm to wrap foods.
› Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food that may give o or be tainted by odor or
 avor transfer or cover them.
› Foods which give o a large amount ethylene
gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as
fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be
separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the
storage life; for example do not store tomatoes
together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.
› Do not store food too close together to enable
su cient air circulation.
› To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the
bottle holder.
› If you have a little quantity of food to store in the
refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves
above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this
is the coolest area of the compartment.
› Be aware to do not close air slots by the food.
