Fig. 9
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.
Storing food
■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
■ To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
- Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
Note
Do not block air outlet openings with food, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.
en
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:
The coldest zones are in front of the air outlet openings and in the chill compartment, Fig. 1/14.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.
■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. The aroma of hard cheese can then continue to develop and butter remains spreadable.
Vegetable container with humidity control
Fig. 7
To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and vegetables, you can set the humidity level in the vegetable container:
- Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small load – high air humidity
- Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – low air humidity
Notes
- Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.
- Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.
Cold storage compartment
Fig. 6
The cold storage compartment has lower temperatures than the refrigerator compartment. Even temperatures below 0\ °C may occur.
Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable for lettuce and vegetables and produce sensitive to cold.
The temperature of the chill compartments can be varied using the ventilation opening. Push temperature controller upwards to reduce the temperature. Push temperature controller downwards to increase the temperature.
Fig. 6
Super cooling
Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 15 hours. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode.
Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.
■ before placing large quantities of food in the refrigerator compartment.
■ for the fast cooling of drinks.
Note
When super cooling is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.
Switching on and off
Fig. 2
Keep pressing the temperature setting button 2 until the super indicator 3 is lit.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment
■ To store deep-frozen food.
■ To make ice cubes.
■ To freeze food.
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!
Max. freezing capacity
Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate. Fig. 12
Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity
- Switch on super freezing before placing fresh products in the compartment (see chapter entitled “Super freezing”).
■ Remove containers; stack food directly on the shelf and on the floor of the freezer compartment.
■ Freeze large quantities of food preferably in the very top compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
Freezing and storing food
Purchasing frozen food
■ Packaging must not be damaged.
■ Use by the “use by” date.
■ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower.
If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.
en
Note when loading products
■ Preferably freeze large quantities of food in the top compartment, where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
- Place the food over the whole area of the compartments or the frozen food containers.
Note
Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen. If required, move the frozen food to other frozen food containers.
Storing frozen food
Insert frozen food container all the way to ensure unrestricted air circulation.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.
■ The following foods are suitable for freezing:
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
■ The following foods are not suitable for freezing:
Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.
Packing frozen food
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.
- Place food in packaging.
- Remove air.
- Seal the wrapping.
- Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.
Suitable packaging:
Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.
These products are available from specialist outlets.
Unsuitable packaging:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.
Items suitable for sealing packaged food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc.
Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene (PE) can be sealed with a film heat sealer.
Shelf life of frozen food
Storage duration depends on the type of food.
At a temperature of -18 °C:
■ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:
up to 6 months
■ Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months
■ Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months
Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.
As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”.
Note
When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.
Switching on and off
Fig. 2
Keep pressing the temperature selection button 6 until the Super display 7 is lit.

| The temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm. | Appliance opened frequently. | Do not open the appliance unnecessarily. |
| The ventilation openings have been covered. | Remove obstacles. | |
| Large quantities of fresh food are being frozen. | Do not exceed max. freezing capacity. | |
| The light does not function. The LED light is defective. See chapter “Light (LED)” section. | ||
| Controls have reduced luminosity. | When the appliance is not used for some time, the display on the fascia switches to energy saving mode. | As soon as the appliance is again used, e.g. the door is opened, the display switches back to normal illumination. |
| Displays do not illuminate. Power failure; the fuse has been switched off; the mains plug has not been inserted properly. | Connect mains plug. Check whether the power is on, check the fuses. | |
| Appliance is not cooling, temperature display and light are lit. | Showroom mode is switched on. | Hold down temperature selection button fig. 2/2 for 10 seconds until an acknowledgement signal sounds. After a short time check whether your appliance is cooling. |
| Freezer compartment door was open for a long time; temperature is no longer reached. | The evaporator (refrigeration generator) in the NoFrost system is covered in thick ice and can no longer be defrosted fully automatically. | To defrost the evaporator, remove the frozen food with the compartments, insulate well and store in a cool location. Switch off the appliance and move it away from the wall. Leave the appliance door open. After approx. 20 min. the condensation begins to run into the evaporation pan, at the rear of the appliance. To prevent the evaporation pan from overflowing in this case, mop up the condensation with a sponge. The evaporator is defrosted when the water stops running into the evaporation pan. Clean the interior. Switch the appliance back on again. |
| Condensation accumulates on the surface of the appliance and on the shelves inside. | The effect is reinforced if ambient temperatures are warm and humid. | Wipe away the water with a soft, dry cloth.
