Using the refrigerator efficiently

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
