Fresh food storage
The fridge compartment is suitable for short-term
storage of all your fresh food. The temperature inside
the fridge compartment varies depending on the amount
of food stored and the frequency of door opening. It is
low enough to limit some bacterial growth, but it is not
suitable for long-term storage of perishable foods.
• The walls of the fridge are equipped with a series of
runners so that you can position the glass shelves to
suit your individual storage requirements (Fig. 10).
• The door balconies in the fridge compartment are
suitable for storage of food and drink bottles, cans
and jars. They may be placed at different heights:
gradually pull a balcony up until it is free, then
reposition it as required (Fig. 11).
• To keep fruit and vegetables fresh in the glass-
covered crisper, slide the humidity regulator to the
left for low humidity (for example, when storing fruit),
or to the right to create a high-humidity environment
which helps keep vegetables crisp (Fig. 12).
Fresh food storage tips
• Do not overload the fridge.
• Keep enough space around items for cold airflow.
• Do not block ventilation openings. Do not place items directly against the back wall.
• Let hot food cool down to room temperature before storing them in the fridge.
Otherwise the cooling capacity will be affected and power consumption increased.
Hot items may also affect the plastic parts inside the appliance.
• If necessary, wipe containers clean and dry before storage in the refrigerator.
• Thaw frozen foods in the fridge compartment to ensure safety and save energy.
• Cover cooked foods and use sealed containers or storage bags to prevent food
from drying out, losing its taste or taking on aromas from other foods.
• Store butter and cheese in airtight containers, or wrap them thoroughly.
• Make sure milk bottles are properly closed before storage on a door balcony.
