Drawer for sausage and cheese

Fig. 5

The drawer can be removed for adding and removing food. Lift the drawer and pull it out. The drawer holder can be adjusted.

Vegetable container with humidity controller

Fig. 6

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.

Ice block

Fig. 7

If a power failure or malfunction occurs, the ice blocks can be used to slow down the thawing process. The longest storage time is obtained by placing the ice block directly on the food in the top compartment.

To save space, the ice block can be stored in the door compartment.

The ice blocks can also be used to cool food temporarily, e.g. in a cold bag.

Freezer calendar

Fig. 1/27

The figures next to the symbols indicate the permitted storage period of the produce in months. When purchasing frozen produce, observe the date of manufacture or sell-by date.

Sticker "OK"

not all models

The "OK" temperature monitor can be used to determine temperatures below +4 °C. Gradually reduce the temperature if the sticker does not indicate "OK".

Note

When the appliance is switched on, it may take 12 hours until the temperature is reached.

Correct setting

Temperature too high, reduce temperature.

Storing food in the appliance

When storing food, comply with the following:

• Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of the food. In addition, flavours will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discoloured.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance!
• Do not block air vents in the refrigerator compartment with food products to avoid hindering air circulation. Food stored directly in front of the air vents are liable to freeze due to the cold air flowing out of the vents.

We recommend arranging the food as follows:

• On the shelves in the refrigerator compartment: Bakery products, ready meals, cold sensitive fruit and vegetables • In the vegetable drawer: Vegetables, salad, fruit • In the chiller compartment: Fish, meat and sausage
• In the door (from top to bottom): Butter, cheese, eggs, tubes, small bottles, large bottles, milk, juice cartons • In the freezer compartment: Frozen food, ice cubes, ice cream

Usable capacity

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

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

• For storing frozen food
• Making ice cubes
• For freezing food

Ensure that the freezer-compartment door is always closed! If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in a thick layer of ice. Also: energy will be wasted due to high power consumption!

Freezing and storing frozen food

Buying frozen food

The packaging must not be damaged.

Note the sell-by date.

The temperature in the supermarket freezer should be -18°C or lower.

Transport the frozen food in an insulating bag, where possible, and put it quickly into the freezer compartment.

Storing frozen food

• To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert the freezer drawers all the way.
• Freeze larger quantities of food preferably in the bottom frozen food container. This is where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
• To remove a freezer drawer, pull it out all the way, lift at the front, and remove. (Fig. 8)

Freezing fresh food

Freezing food yourself

If you are freezing food yourself, use only fresh, undamaged food.

The following foods are suitable for freezing:

Meat and sausage products, poultry and game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit, cakes and pastries, pizza, ready meals, leftovers, egg yolk and egg-white.

The following foods are not suitable for freezing:

Eggs in shells, soured cream and mayonnaise, green salads, radishes and onions.

Blanching vegetables and fruit

To retain colour, flavour, aroma and vitamin C, vegetables and fruits should be blanched prior to freezing. Blanching is the brief immersion of vegetables and fruit in boiling water. Literature on freezing and blanching is available in bookshops.

Freezing food

Freeze fresh, undamaged food only.

Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

Freezing capacity

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

How to wrap food correctly:

1. Place the food in the wrapping.
2. Press out air.

The following products are not suitable for wrapping food:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, refuse bags and used shopping bags.

The following products are suitable for sealing the wrapped food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape or similar. Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a film sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food

Depends on the type of food.

At a temperature setting 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. Vitamins, nutritional values, appearance and taste are therefore retained.

To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing several hours beforehand.

If the freezing capacity according to the rating plate is to be used, switch on super freezing 24 hours before the fresh products are placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without "Super freezing".

"Super freezing" switches off automatically after 2 1/2 days at the latest.

Eliminating minor faults yourself

Before you call customer service:

Please check whether you can eliminate the fault yourself based on the following information.

Customer service will charge you for advice, even if the appliance is still under guarantee!

Fault	Possible cause	Remedial action
Temperature differs greatly from the set value.		In some cases it is adequate to switch off the appliance for 5 minutes.If the temperature is too high, wait a few hours and check whether the temperature has approached the set value.If the temperature is too low, check the temperature again the next day.
The light does not function.Fig. 1713	Light switch is sticking.	Check whether the light switch can move. Fig. 1711
	The light (LED) is defective.	See chapter “Light”.
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is too cold.	Colder temperatures in the freezer compartment may also result in colder temperatures in the refrigerator compartment.This is a consequence of refrigeration.	Slightly increase the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.If this is not adequate, e.g. because ambient temperatures are too cold, also increase the temperature in the freezer compartment.
Displays do not illuminate.	Power failure; the fuse has been switched off; the mains plug has not been inserted properly.	Check whether the power is on, the fuse must be switched on.
The temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm.	Freezer compartment door is open.The ventilation openings are blocked.Too much food was placed in freezer compartment at once.	Close the door.Ensure that there is adequate ventilation.Do not exceed freezing the capacity.
Freezer compartment door was open for a long time; temperature is no longer reached.	The evaporator (refrigeration generator) in the No Frost 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, Fig. 11, 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.

We will always find an appropriate solution and try to avoid unnecessary visits being made by a Customer Service technician.

With any warranty claims, we will make sure that your appliance is repaired by trained Customer Service technicians using genuine spare parts, including after the manufacturer's warranty has expired.

For safety reasons repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff. The warranty claim becomes void if repairs or interventions have been carried out by persons not authorised by us for that purpose or if our appliances have been fitted with spare, supplementary or accessory parts that were not genuine parts and then resulted in a defect.

Function-relevant genuine spare parts according to the relevant Ecodesign Directive can be obtained from Customer Service for a period of at least 10 years from the date on which your appliance was placed on the market.

Detailed information on the warranty period and terms of warranty in your country is available from our Customer Service, your retailer or on our website. If you contact Customer Service, you will require the product number (E-Nr.) and the production number (FD) of your appliance.

The contact details for Customer Service can be found in the enclosed Customer Service directory or on our website.
