Removing the fittings

Pull out the frozen food container all the way, lift at the front and remove.

Fig. 3

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

Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.

Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.

en

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:

- Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the glass shelf situated below. Fig. 5

Note

Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.

■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable container with humidity controller

Fig. 4

The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. A humidity controller and a special seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored twice as long as with conventional storage.

The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of products to be stored:

• Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – lower air humidity ■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or small load – higher 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.

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

Press the super button 9 for the refrigerator compartment.

The button is lit when super cooling is switched on.

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. 16

Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity

• Switch on super freezing before placing fresh products in the compartment (see chapter entitled “Super freezing”). ■ Remove the fittings. The food can be stacked directly on the shelves and in the bottom of the freezer compartment. Large quantities of food are frozen most quickly in the top compartment. If the top compartment is not adequate for the freezing capacity indicated on the rating plate, you can place the remaining quantity in the compartment underneath starting at the front right side. ■ Freeze fresh food as close as possible to the side panels.

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.

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.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, 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 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, 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.

You can place smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) in the top compartment without super freezing.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Fig. 2

Press "super" button 2.

If the super freezing has been switched on the button is lit.

Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 2 1/2 days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options:

■ at room temperature ■ in the refrigerator ■ in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air ■ in the microwave

Caution

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

3. Clean the appliance.
4. Leave the appliance door open.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically

While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is quite normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel, Fig. 12. and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where it evaporates.

Note

Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing. A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.

Caution

Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. You could damage the refrigerant tubes.

Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause eye injuries.

Proceed as follows:

Note

Approx. 4 hours before defrosting the appliance, switch on super freezing so that the food drops to a very low temperature and can therefore be stored at room temperature for a longer period.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Switch the appliance off.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a trivet in the freezer compartment. Fig. 13

Tips for saving energy

■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room! The appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker). If required, use an insulating plate. ■ Select 560 mm cavity depth. A smaller cavity depth will result in a higher energy consumption. - Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance. ■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food. ■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible. ■ Regularly defrost the freezer compartment to remove the layer of frost. A layer of hoarfrost will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption. ■ Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always closed properly. ■ Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance to prevent an increased power consumption. ■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance.

Operating noises

Quite normal noises

Droning

Motors are running (e.g. refrigerating units, fan).

Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises

Appliance self-test

Your appliance features an automatic self-test program which shows you sources of faults which may be repaired by customer service only.

Starting the appliance self-test

1. Switch off the appliance and wait 5 minutes.
2. Switch the appliance on.
3. Press alarm button, Fig. 2/5, to switch off the warning signal. If there is no warning signal, this step is not applicable.
4. Within the first 10 seconds after switching on the appliance, hold down the super button, Fig. 2/2, for 3 to 5 seconds until an acoustic signal sounds. The self-test programme starts. While the self-test is running, a long acoustic signal sounds.

When the self-test ends and an acoustic signal sounds twice, your appliance is in working order.

If the super button flashes for 10 seconds and 5 acoustic signals sound, there is a fault. Inform customer service.

Ending the appliance self-test

When the programme has ended, the appliance switches over to normal operation.
