Proper Storage
The cooling fan ensures an even tem-
perature distribution in the fridge.
There is a max. temperature differ-
ence of 1 °C. Foods with different
lengths of storage time can therefore
be arranged on the shelves as you
like, without having to take into
account the different temperature
zones which usually occur. The tem-
perature in the fruit and vegetable
drawer is around 3 - 4 °C higher than
the fridge temperature set. The
example arrangement opposite
shows possible ways of storing food.
The shelf immediately above the fruit
and vegetable tray should be 5 °C for
safe storage of meat and fish
products. In order to check that the
appliance is at 5 °C on the lowest
shelf you can carry out the following
test yourself:
0 1. Place a cup of water in the centre of the said shelf with a thermometer
inside.
2. Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first
thing in the morning.
3. At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does,
you need to adjust the temperature to a colder setting.
Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator compartment should always be
covered or packed so that they do not dry out, lose their flavour, or
transfer their flavour to any other refrigerated food. The following are
suitable for packing:
– polyethylene bags;
– plastic containers with lids;
– special plastic covers with rubber retainers;
– aluminium foil.
