Storing food in the fridge zone
Risk of explosion due to
flammable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause
flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store explosive materials in
the refrigeration appliance or any
products containing propellants (e.g.
spray cans). The spray cans in
question can be identified by the
contents printed on the can or by a
flame symbol. Electrical components
can cause escaping gases to ignite.
Risk of damage due to greasy or
oily foods.
If storing food which contains a lot of
fat or oil in the refrigeration appliance
or the appliance door, make sure that
it does not come into contact with
plastic components as this could
cause stress cracks or break the
plastic.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto
the plastic parts of the refrigeration
appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation,
the cooling performance will
decrease and energy consumption
will increase.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do
not pack food too closely together in
the appliance.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall
of the appliance.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation, there are
different temperature regions in the
refrigerator section.
46
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the refrigeration section.
Make use of the different zones when
placing food in the appliance.
This refrigeration appliance has
dynamic cooling, which helps to keep
an even temperature when the fan is
running. The difference between the
various temperature zones is therefore
less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing
butter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is
directly above the DailyFresh drawer
and at the back of the appliance.
A temperature setting of 4 °C
combined with appropriate hygiene
measures delays the propagation of
bacteria, e.g. salmonella and listeria,
which can lead to serious food
poisoning.
Therefore, you should use these areas to
store all delicate and highly perishable
food, including:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Cold cuts, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough
- Raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products
- Hummus, vegetable spreads, plant-
based cream cheese substitutes
- Pre-packed vegetables
