Storing food in the refrigerator
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.
This appliance has dynamic cooling,
which helps to keep an even
temperature when the fan is running.
For this reason, the difference
between the various zones is less
pronounced.

Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
at the front and in the door. Use this for
storing butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area is directly above the
fruit and vegetable containers or above
the fruit and vegetable drawers
(depending on model) and at the back
of the appliance.
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.
