Refrigerator compartment
You can keep meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com-
partment.
The temperature can be set from
2°C to 8°C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
Tips for storing food in the
refrigerator compartment
¡Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡Store food covered or in air-tight
packaging.
¡To avoid impeding the circulation
of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food so that
it has direct contact with the back
wall.
¡Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
¡Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
Chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the ar-
row stamped on the side and the
shelf underneath.

en PRF IU template project
16
Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
"OK" sticker
The "OK" sticker lets you check
whether the refrigerator compartment
reaches the safe temperature ranges
of +4°C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with
all models.
If the sticker does not indicate "OK",
gradually reduce the temperature.
→"Setting the refrigerator compart-
ment temperature", Page15
Once the appliance is switched on, it
may take up to 12hours until the set
temperature is reached.
Correct setting
Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer com-
partment depends on the temperat-
ure in the refrigerator compartment.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
Freezing capacity
The freezing capacity indicates the
quantity of food that can be frozen
right through to the centre within a
specific period of time.
Information on freezing capacity can
be found on the rating plate. →"Appli-
ance", Fig. 1/
4
, Page12
Prerequisites for freezing capacity
1. Approx. 24hours before placing
fresh food in the appliance, switch
on Super function.
→"Switching on Super function",
Page15
2. Place food in the top frozen food
container first.

Tips for storing food in the freezer
compartment
¡Store food in air-tight packaging.
¡Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
¡Place thefood over thewhole area
ofthefrozen food containers.
¡To quickly and gently freeze larger
quantities of fresh food, place this
in the lower frozen food container.
¡To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.

PRF IU template project en

Tips for freezing fresh food
¡Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡Freeze food in portions.
¡Cooked food is more suitable than
food that can be eaten raw.
¡Vegetables: Wash, chop up and
blanch before freezing.
¡Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.
¡Food that is suitable for freezing in-
cludes baked items, fish and sea-
food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.
¡Food that is unsuitable for freezing
includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in
shells, grapes, raw apples and
pears, yoghurt, sour cream, crème
fraîche and mayonnaise.
Packing frozen food
If you select suitable packaging ma-
terial and the correct type of pack-
aging, you can determine the product
quality and prevent freezer burn.
1. Place the food in the packaging.
2. Squeeze out the air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it
from losing flavour and drying out.
4. Label the packaging with the con-
tents and the date of freezing.
Shelf life of frozen food at −18°C

Defrosting methods for frozen food
CAUTION
Risk of harm to health!
During the thawing process, bacteria
may multiply and spoil the frozen
food.
▶Do not refreeze food after it has
been defrosted or started to de-
frost.
▶Refreeze food only after cooking.
▶These items should no longer be
stored for the maximum storage
period.
¡Defrost animal-based food, such
as fish, meat, cheese, quark, in the
refrigerator compartment.
¡Defrost bread at room temperat-
ure.
¡Prepare food for immediate con-
sumption in the microwave, in the

Defrosting
Defrosting in the refrigerator
compartment
When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas-
ons. The back panel in the refriger-
ator compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
Condensation runs through the con-
densation channel into the drainage
hole to the evaporation pan and does
not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:
→"Cleaning the condensation chan-
nel and drainage hole", Page19.

en PRF IU template project

Defrosting in the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically. A layer of hoar-
frost in the freezer compartment im-
pairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer com-
partment.
1. Switch on the Super function ap-
prox. fourhours before defrosting.
