Switching on the appliance 1. Switch on the appliance at the

main switch. → Fig. 1 / 3 a The appliance begins to cool. a The temperature display flashes until the appliance has reached the set temperature. 2. "Set the required temperature." → Page 30

Operating tips ¡ Once you have switched on the appliance, the set temperature is only reached after several hours. 30

Do not put any food in the appliance until the set temperature has been reached. ¡ If you open the refrigerator compartment door frequently, put large quantities of food in the appliance or if the room temperature is high, the temperature of the refrigerator compartment rises. ¡ When you close the door, a vacuum may be created. The door is then difficult to open again. Wait a moment until the vacuum is offset. ¡ Avoid contact between the food and the rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging may freeze to the rear panel.

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. Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages and meat in the coldest zone.

Refrigerator compartment

Refrigerator compartment You can keep meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, prepared meals and pastries in the refrigerator compartment. The temperature can be set from 2 °C to 8 °C. The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temperature, the longer the food remains fresh. Refrigerator compartment

Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment ¡ Only store food when fresh and undamaged. ¡ Store food covered or in air-tight packaging. ¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance. ¡ Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

Warmest zone The warmest zone is at the very top of the door. Tip: Store food that does not spoil easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then continue to release its aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.

"OK" sticker The "OK" sticker lets you check whether the refrigerator compartment reaches the safe temperature ranges of +4 °C or colder recommended for food. The "OK" sticker is not included with all models. If the sticker does not indicate "OK", gradually reduce the temperature. → "Setting the refrigerator compartment temperature", Page 30 Once the appliance is switched on, it may take up to 12 hours until the set temperature is reached.

Defrosting Defrosting

Defrosting in the refrigerator compartment When the appliance is operating, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel of the refrigerator compartment due to functional reasons. The back panel in the refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. Condensation runs through the condensation channel into the drainage hole to the evaporation pan and does not have to be wiped away. To ensure that the condensation can drain and odours do not form, observe the following information: → "Cleaning the condensation channel and drainage hole", Page 33. Cleaning and servicing

Cleaning and servicing To keep your appliance working efficiently for a long time, it is important to clean and maintain it carefully. Customer Service must clean inaccessible points. Cleaning by customer service can give rise to costs. Cleaning and servicing

Care instructions for stainless steel surfaces When taking care of and cleaning stainless steel surfaces, use only cleaning cloths and cleaning agents suitable for stainless steel. Tips ¡ To prevent visible scratches, wipe the stainless steel surface in the direction of the grain.
