5.9 Storing food and making ice
cubes
5.9.1 Storing products in the cooling
compartment
n
Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours
before filling it.
n
Always store pre-cooled foods in the refri-
gerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when
transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
n
Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
n
Products must be packed - best of all in
closed containers, wrapped in aluminium
foil or similar - and stored separately from
each other, in order to prevent drying out or
odours.
n
Allow foods that have been warmed up to
cool down before storing.
n
Avoid storing products in the refrigerator
that could emit volatile flammable gases.
n
Do not overfill the storage grids and com-
partments to prevent obstructing the inter-
nal air circulation.
n
Maintain a clearance of approx. 10 mm bet-
ween chilled products and post-evapo-
rator ("cooling fins").
n
Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation gril-
les free from obstructions.
5.9.2 Storing products in the freezer
compartment
n
Do not keep carbonated drinks in the free-
zer.
n
The freezer compartment is suitable for
making ice cubes and for short-term stora-
ge of frozen food. It is not suitable as a
means of freezing foods.
When ambient temperatures are lower than
+10°C and the refrigerator is exposed to
these temperatures for extended periods of
time, an even regulation of freezer tempe-
rature cannot be guaranteed for system-
related reasons. This can cause the tempe-
rature in the freezer to rise and the stored
goods to melt..
