6.1 Storing food
When storing food, always ensure that:
u Ventilation slits on the back panel inside are always
kept clear.
u Ventilation slits on the ventilator are kept clear.
u Food is properly packaged (except for fruit and
vegetables).
u Food that easily takes on or emits odour or taste is
kept in closed containers or covered.
u Raw meat and fish is kept in clean, closed containers
so that it does not touch any other food.
u Liquids are kept in closed containers.
u Food is stored with gaps in between so that air can
circulate properly.
Scan the QR code for more information
on how to store food correctly.
6.1.1 Cooling section
The special air circulation enables the same
temperature to be set throughout the refrigerator
section (except for the Fresh zero compartment).
Arranging food:
u
In the upper section and in the door: Butter and
cheese, tinned foods and tubes.
u In the middle section, perishable foods such as
finished dishes.
6.1.2
BORA Fresh zero
The Fresh zero compartment allows some fresh food to
be stored for a longer period of time compared with
conventional refrigeration. For food with a best before
date, the date printed on the packaging applies.
The moisture regulating cover allows you to create the
ideal storage conditions for your food. Thanks to the
two different positions of the cover, you can choose
between humid and dry storage conditions.

Arranging food:
To keep food fresh over a long period of time, humidity,
besides temperature, is vitally important. When the
cover is closed, the humidity in the Fresh zero tray
increases and, alongside the low temperature, creates
ideal conditions for storing fruit and vegetables.
By opening (pulling forwards) the cover, the Fresh zero
tray is gently ventilated and a relatively dry storage
environment is created. This environment is ideal for
storing fish, meat and dairy products.
Every Fresh zero tray, which features a moisture
regulating cover, allows you to set up both storage
environments.
6.1.3
Freezer section
A dry storage environment is set up here. This
environment is suitable for storing frozen foods and
products for several months, for preparing ice cubes or
freezing fresh food.
Freeze food
You can freeze as many kg of fresh food within 24h as
is indicated on the specification plate or in the technical
data under freezing capacity. (see"3Technical data")
So that the food quickly freezes to its core, the
following amounts per pack must be observed:
T Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg
T Meat up to 2.5 kg
Before freezing, ensure that:
T For small freezing amounts: Power Freeze is
activated approx. 6 hours prior.

T
At maximum freezing amount: Power Freeze is
activated approx. 24 hours prior.
Arranging food:
u
Distributed the packaged food over all the drawers.
u If possible, place the food backwards in the drawers,
near the back panel.
u For efficient storage, use the Power Freeze function
(see"7.4.2Power Freeze").
Defrost food
T
in refrigerator space
T in microwave
T in oven/fan oven
T at room temperature
u Remove only as much food as is needed.
u Thawed food should be processed as quickly as
possible.
Multi-tablet
The multi-tablet allows you to freeze berries, herbs,
vegetables and other small frozen food, without them
freezing together. The frozen food will largely keep its
shape and later portioning is easier.
u Spread food out on the multi-tablet.

The indicated storage periods are guidelines. For food
