Observe ambient temperature and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific climate class. Depending on the climate class, the appliance can be operated at the following room temperatures.

Climate class Permitted ambient temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N +16 °C to 32 °C
ST +16 °C to 38 °C
T +16 °C to 43 °C

The climate class can be found on the rating plate.

GAGGENAU RT242202 - Ambient temperature - 1

Note

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

Ventilation

The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation openings!

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances to a heat source:

3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
- 30~cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance is switched on. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.

Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter "Cleaning the appliance").

Electrical connection

The socket must be near the appliance and also freely accessible following installation of the appliance.

The appliance complies with the protection class I. Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed socket with protective conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

For appliances operated in non-European countries, check whether the stated voltage and current type match the values of your mains supply match the values of the mains supply. These specifications can be found on the rating plate.

Warning

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs. Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.

  • Indicates the set temperature of the refrigerator compartment.
  • Indicates "SU" when super freezing is switched on.

Switching the appliance on

Switch on the appliance with the On/Off button 1 (see appliance overview).

The temperature display 6 indicates the set temperature. Displays 5 "cold+fresh" and "freezer" come on.

The appliance starts to cool, the light is switched on when the door is open.

We recommend a setting of +4^ .

Perishable food should not be stored above +4^ .

Operating tips

After the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached. Do not put any food in the appliance beforehand.
The temperature in the freezer compartment depends on the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. Warmer refrigerator compartment temperatures also cause warmer freezer compartment temperatures.
- While the refrigeration unit is running, water droplets or a thin layer of ice may form at the rear panel of the refrigerator. This is nothing unusual. It is not necessary to scrape off the frost or wipe off the water droplets. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation flows into the evaporation area of the appliance via the condensation channels and the drainage hole.
The partition in the lower "cool-fresh" container is required for functional reasons and should not be removed. The temperature behind the partition is lower than in the front area of the container.

Setting the temperature

Freezer compartment

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

Refrigerator compartment

The temperature can be set from +3^ to +8^

Keep pressing temperature setting button 3 until the required refrigerator compartment temperature is set. The value last selected is saved.

The set temperature is indicated on display 6.

Cool-fresh compartment

The temperature in the "cool-fresh" compartment Chas been set to almost 0^ at the factory and should not be changed if at all possible.

If frost forms on the refrigerated food, the temperature can be increased (see chapter "Eliminating minor faults yourself").

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter "Customer service").

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.

Note when loading products

  • 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.

Note

Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.

The "cool-fresh" compartment

The temperature in the cool-fresh compartment(see appliance overview) is about 0^ . The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.

Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer in the "cool-fresh" compartment than in the normal cooling zone - for even longer freshness, nutrient retention and flavour.

Humidity container

The humidity container 12 is covered with a special filter which optimises retention of the air humidity in the storage compartment. As a result, there is up to 95% air humidity in the humidity container, depending on the amount of products put in. This storage climate offers ideal conditions for fresh fruit, salad greens, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms.

Foods suitable for "cool-fresh" container:

In the "cool-fresh" container 10:

Fish, seafood, meat, sausage, dairy products, ready meals.

In the humidity container 12:

Vegetables (e.g. carrots, asparagus, celery, leeks, beetroot, mushrooms, brassicas such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi)
- Salad greens (e.g. lamb's lettuce, iceberg lettuce, chicory, lettuce)
Herbs (e.g. dill, parsley, chives, basil)
Fruit (types insensitive to cold, e.g. apples, peaches, berries, grapes)

Foods not suitable for the "coolfresh" drawer:

Fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.: tropical fruit such as pineapples, bananas, papaya, citrus fruits, melons as well as tomatoes, aubergines, zucchini, capsicums, cucumbers, potatoes).

The ideal storage location for these foods is the refrigerator compartment.

When purchasing food, please note:

The "purchase freshness" is important for the shelf-life of your food.

In principle, the fresher the produce when placed in the "cool-fresh" compartment, the longer it stays fresh.

Therefore, when buying food, always pay attention to the degree of freshness.

Observe the best-before date specified by the manufacturer for ready products and bottled products.

Storage times (at 0^ )

Depending on the initial quality
Fresh fish, seafood up to 3 days
Poultry, meat (boiled/fried) up to 5 days
Beef, pork, lamb, sausage (cold up to 7 days meat)
Smoked fish, broccoli up to 14 days
Salad greens, fennel, apricots, up to 21 days plums
Soft cheese, yoghurt, quark, up to 30 days buttermilk, cauliflower

The freezer compartment

Using the freezer compartment

To store deep-frozen food.
To make ice cubes.
To freeze small quantities of 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!

The freezer compartment door engages audibly.

Door closed indicator

(not all models)

The "close" display indicates whether the freezer compartment door has been closed properly:

red display: the freezer compartment door is open
- white display: the freezer compartment door is closed

GAGGENAU RT242202 - Door closed indicator - 1

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter "Customer service").

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^ or lower.
  • If possible, transport deep-frozen food in a cool bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

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, souffles 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

Depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18^

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

Fast freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

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

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, fast freezing must be switched on for 6 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food can be frozen without fast freezing.

Note

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

Switching on and off

GAGGENAU RT242202 - Switching on and off - 1

Defrosting

Refrigerator and "cool-fresh" compartments

Defrosting is actuated automatically.

While the refrigeration unit is running, water droplets or hoarfrost form at the rear panel of the refrigerator compartment. This is nothing unusual. It is not necessary to wipe off the water droplets or hoarfrost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation drains off into the condensation channel. From there the condensation drains off down the condensation channels to the refrigeration unit where it evaporates.

GAGGENAU RT242202 - Refrigerator and "cool-fresh" compartments - 1

Note

Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so the condensation can drain off.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically. A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer compartment will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption. Regularly defrost the freezer compartment.

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.
  5. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
  6. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
  7. Switch the appliance on again.
  8. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.
