Installing the appliance

Installation location

The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the room must be in which the appliance is situated.

Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small.

The room must be at least 1m^3 per 8 g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance. "Getting to know your appliance" on page 25

The weight of the appliance may be up to 65kg depending on the model.

Permitted room temperature

The permitted room temperature depends on the climatic class of the appliance.

Information on the climatic class can be found on the rating plate.

"Getting to know your appliance" on page 25

Climatic cate-gory	Permitted room tempera-ture
SN	+10 °C ... 32 °C
N	+16 °C ... 32 °C
ST	+16 °C ... 38 °C
T	+16 °C ... 43 °C

The appliance is fully functional within the permitted room temperature.

If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a room temperature of +5^ .

Cavity depth

A cavity depth of 56 cm is recommended for the appliance. If the cavity depth is smaller - at least 55~cm - the energy consumption increases slightly.

Tips for saving energy

If you follow the instructions below, your appliance will use less power.

Note: The arrangement of the features does not affect the energy consumption of the appliance.

Installing the appliance
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight.	The appliance must cool less frequently at low ambient temperatures and therefore consumes less power.
Install the appliance as far away as possible from heating elements, cooker and other heat sources: 3 cm to electric or gas cookers. 30 cm to an oil or solid-fuel cooker. Note: If this is not possible, attach an insulating plate between the appliance and heat source.
Select an installation location at a room temperature of approx. 20 °C.
Use a cavity depth of 56 cm. Caution! Risk of burns!	The air on the rear panel of the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can escape.
Individual parts of the appliance become hot during operation. Touching these parts may result in burns.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
Ventilate the room daily.

Using the appliance
Open the appliance door only briefly.	The air in the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The appliance must cool less frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Transport purchased food in a cold bag and place quickly in the appliance.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment in order to utilise the low temperature of the frozen food.
Always leave a space between the food and the back wall.	The air can circulate and the humidity will remain constant. The appliance must cool less frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Pack food airtight.
Vacuum the back of the appliance once a year.	The air on the back wall of the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can escape.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
Defrost the freezer compartment regularly.	A layer of hoar frost or ice in the freezer compa- ment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption.
Close the freezer compartment door properly.	The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. If greater demands are made of the appli- ance, the power consumption will increase.

Before using your appliance for the first time

1. Remove leaflets, adhesive tape and protective film.

Setting the temperature

Recommended temperature

Refrigerator compartment: +4^ C

Refrigerator compartment

• Keep pressing the button > until the display indicates the required temperature.

Freezer compartment

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment will affect the temperature in the freezer compartment. Change the temperature in the refrigerator compartment in order to change the temperature in the freezer compartment. Temperatures which are set higher in the refrigerator compartment will increase temperatures in the freezer compartment.

Sticker OK

(not all models)

You can use sticker OK to check whether the temperature in the refrigerator compartment reaches +4^ C or lower.

If the sticker does not indicate OK, gradually reduce temperature.

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

Correct setting

Super function

When the Super function is switched on, the freezer compartment and refrigerator compartment will become colder.

Starting the Super function, e.g.:

to freeze food solid as quickly as possible
4 to 6 hours before freezing food weighing 2kg or more
to use the max. freezing capacity

Note: When Super cooling is switched on, increased operating noise may occur.

After approx. 112 days the appliance switches to normal operation.

Starting/ending Super function:

Press the button. The super display lights up when the Super function is switched on.

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.

The temperature can be set from +2^ +8^

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temperature, the slower the enzymatic and chemical processes and deterioration by microorganisms. A temperature of +4^ or lower ensures optimum freshness and safety of the stored foods.

Note when storing food

Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of ready products and bottled goods do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-by-date indicated by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing it in the appliance.

This avoids transference of flavours and discolouration of the plastic parts.

• Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

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

Coldest zone

The coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the shelf underneath.

$$ \longrightarrow \text {F i g .} 6 $$

Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausages and meat) in the coldest zone.

Warmest zone

The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

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

Vegetable container

$$ \rightarrow \text {F i g .} \boxed {1 / 6} $$

The vegetable container is the best storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. A high air humidity keeps leafy vegetables fresh for longer. Fruit and vegetables should be stored at a slightly lower 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 - +12^ C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.
• Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

storing frozen food
making ice cubes
freezing food

The temperature in the freezer compartment depends on the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.

The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable foods long-term almost without any noticeable reduction in quality as the low temperatures considerably slow down or stop deterioration. Appearance, flavour and all valuable ingredients are largely retained.

The time between putting fresh food in the freezer compartment and it freezing solid depends on the following factors:

set temperature
type of food
amount of food in the freezer compartment
quantity and type of storage

Freezer compartment door

Fig. 7

Note the following points:

The position of the handle indicates whether or not the freezer compartment is correctly closed.
The freezer compartment door engages audibly when closing.
- When the freezer compartment door is open, the frozen food stored there will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice.

Maximum freezing capacity

The maximum freezing capacity indicates the quantity of food that can be frozen solid within 24 hours.

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

"Getting to know your appliance" on page 25

Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity

1. Before placing fresh produce in the freezer compartment: Switch on the Super function.
2. Freeze fresh food as close as possible to the side panels.

Purchasing frozen food

Ensure the packaging is not damaged.
- Do not exceed the minimum sell-by date.
The temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18^ or lower.
If possible, transport frozen food in a cool bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Note when loading products

• Spread out the food over a wide area in the freezer compartment.
• Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with frozen food. If necessary, re-stack frozen food in the freezer compartment.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.

Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable for freezing than food which is raw.

Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour:

Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid solution.

Information on how to do this can be found in the relevant literature.

Suitable for freezing

Baked goods
Fish and seafood
Meat
Poultry and game
Vegetables, fruit and herbs
Eggs without shells
Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark
Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts

Not suitable for freezing

• Types of vegetables which are usually eaten raw, e.g. lettuce or radishes
  Unpeeled or hard boiled eggs
  Grapes
  Whole apples, pears and peaches
  Yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise

Packing frozen food

The correct type of packaging and material selection are decisive factors in the retention of the product quality and prevent the development of freezer burn.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavour and drying out.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film
Tubular film made of polyethylene (PE)
Aluminium foil
Freezer containers

Suitable locks:

Rubber bands
Plastic clips
Cold-resistant adhesive tape

Not suitable packaging:

Wrapping paper
Greaseproof paper
Cellophane
Refuse bags and used shopping bags

Shelf life of frozen food at -18^

Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:	up to 6 months
Meat, poultry:	up to 8 months
Fruit, vegetables:	up to 12 months

Thawing frozen food

The thawing method must be adjusted to the food and application in order to retain the best possible product quality.

Thawing methods:

in the refrigerator compartment (especially suitable for animal-based foods such as fish, meat, cheese, quark)
at room temperature (bread)
in the microwave (food for immediate consumption or immediate preparation)
- in the oven/cooker (food for immediate consumption or immediate preparation)

Caution!

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. You can only refreeze the food when it has been used for a ready-to-eat meal (boiled or fried).

The frozen food can no longer be stored for the maximum duration.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

While the refrigerating unit is running, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel. This is due to functional reasons. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation droplets or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation drains off into the condensation channel.

Fig. 8

The condensation runs from the condensation channel to the evaporation pan where it evaporates.

Note: Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean so that the condensation can drain and odours do not form.

Freezer compartment

As the frozen food may not start thawing, the freezer compartment does not defrost automatically. A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption.

Remove the layer of frost regularly!

Caution!

Avoid any damage to the pipes of the refrigeration circuit.

If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite.

• Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object.

Proceed as follows:

1. Switch on the Super function approx. 4 hours before defrosting. This means that the food reaches very low temperatures and it can be stored for longer at room temperature.
2. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
3. Switch off the appliance.
4. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse.
5. To accelerate the defrosting process: place a pan of hot water on a trivet in the freezer compartment.
6. Wipe up the condensation water with a cloth or sponge.
7. Wipe the freezer compartment dry.
8. Switch on the appliance.
9. Put the frozen food back into the appliance.

Cleaning

Caution!

Avoid damaging the appliance and the fittings.

• Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic cleaning agents or solvents.
• Do not use scouring or abrasive sponges. The metallic surfaces may corrode.
• Never clean the shelves or containers in the dishwasher. The parts may become deformed.

Proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse.
3. Take out the food and store in a cool location. Place ice pack (if available) on the food.
4. If present: Wait until the layer of frost in the refrigerator compartment has thawed.
5. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm water and a little pH-neutral washing-up liquid.

Caution!

The rinsing water must not run into the light or through the drainage hole into the evaporation area.

1. Wipe door seal with clear water and dry thoroughly with a cloth.
2. Reconnect and switch on appliance and put in food.

Cleaning the equipment

To clean, take the variable parts out of the appliance.
