Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. 10

Fully utilising the freezer volume

The maximum amount of food can be placed in the freezer by removing the following fittings.

Removing the fittings

■ The door shelf can be taken out. Fig. 8
If appliances feature an ice maker, the latter can be taken out. Fig. 6

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.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

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

Coldest zone

is on the rear panel inside the appliance and in the chiller container. Fig. 1/18

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. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable container with humidity controller

Fig. 4

To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and vegetables, you can set the air humidity in the vegetable container depending on the quantity stored:

• smaller quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air humidity
• large quantities of fruit and vegetables – 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.

Chiller container

Fig. 1/18

Temperatures in the chiller container are lower than in the refrigerator compartment. Even temperatures below 0\ °C may occur.

Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable for lettuce, vegetables and produce sensitive to cold.

Super cooling

Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 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.

Switching on and off

Fig. 2

1. Press selection button 7 until refrigerator compartment display 4 is activated.
2. Press "super" button 8.

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!

Freezing capacity

Information on the freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. Fig. 10

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

Freeze large quantities of food in the fast freezer compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.

Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen.

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:

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.

Fault Possible cause Remedial action

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.
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. Fig. 9To 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.■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible■ Make sure that the appliance is always closed properly.
Ice and frost builds up in the freezer compartment.	Warm and humid ambient temperatures encourage the build-up of ice and frost.	■ Open the freezer compartment door as briefly as possible■ Make sure that the freezer compartment door is always closed properly.
