Using the refrigerator efficiently

Different storage zones

Due to the natural circulation of 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 these different zones when placing food in the appliance.

This appliance uses a dynamic cooling feature to establish a constant temperature during cooling. As a result, the differences between temperature zones are less pronounced.

Leave some space between items, so air can circulate freely around them. Make sure the ventilation slits are not covered - this is important for the cooling performance.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this area to store items such as butter and cheese.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator is directly above the SmartFresh drawers. The temperature in the drawers themselves is even colder.

Use these cold areas in the refrigerator for all highly perishable foods, such as:

–fish, meat, poultry,

–deli meats, store-bought meals,

–dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream,

–fresh bread dough, pastry dough, cake batters,

–dairy products.

If storing high-proof alcohol, make sure it is tightly closed and stored upright.

Do not store cooking oil in the refrigerator door. Traces of oil can cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.

Do not allow food to touch the rear wall of the appliance, it may freeze to the wall.
