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 +33^ (1^) ... 43^ (6^) .

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable groceries in the short to medium term. A temperature of +39^ (+4^) or lower ensures optimum freshness and hygiene of the stored groceries.

Note when storing food

Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of convenience products and bottled goods, do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing it into the appliance.
This will prevent flavors being transferred between foods and the plastic parts from becoming discolored.
- Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before placing them into the refrigerator compartment.

Cool-fresh compartment

With cool-fresh storage, you can keep fresh foodstuff fresh for up to three times longer than in the refrigerator compartment - for even longer freshness and nutrient retention, and consistent flavor.

You can select pre-defined storage settings directly using the cool-fresh compartment controls or adjust the humidity and temperature from 29^

(-2^) ... 40^ (4^) with the Home Connect app.

Cool-fresh bin

The storage climate in the cool-fresh bin offers ideal conditions for storing fish, meat and sausage, as well as fruit and vegetables.

Notes

• Store food no higher than the bin rim to avoid detaching the lid of the cool-fresh bin.
• Never store fruit and vegetables in a cool-fresh bin with meat or fish.
  Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit), and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. eggplants, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. 46^ (8^) ... 54^ (12^) for optimal preservation of quality and flavor.
• Condensation may form in the cool-fresh bin depending on the type and quantity of food stored.

Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust the humidity in the cool-fresh bin with the controls for cool-fresh compartment.

Storage recommendations

Set the pre-defined storage settings depending on what and how much you are storing.

Note:

= low humidity

= high humidity

Meat, fish and seafood 29°F button
Fruit, mixed load with fruit and vegetables, sausage, cheese and dairy products	32°F button
Vegetables 32°F button
Beverages 34°F button
Snacks/Miscellaneous 40°F button

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

storing frozen food
making ice cubes
freezing food

The temperature can be set from 6^(-14^) ... -7^(-22^)

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, flavor 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:

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

Water dispenser

You can dispense cold water using the water dispenser.

Note: The water dispenser will only work when the appliance is connected to a drinking water supply and a filter is installed.

Before using the appliance for the first time

Once the refrigerator has been connected or a new water filter has been installed, there will be air in the water circuit. Keep dispensing water until it contains no more bubbles. Wipe splashes dry with a soft cloth.
For hygiene reasons, dispense water for 5 minutes and discard.

Observing drinking water quality

All materials used in the water dispenser are odorless and tasteless.

If the water has an aftertaste, this may be due to the following causes:

Mineral content and chlorine content of the drinking water
Material of the water line leading to the appliance
Freshness of the drinking water

Notes

If you dispense water again after a long time, it may taste stale. Allow water to dispense for 5 minutes and discard.
- You will obtain optimum water quality if you dispense some water regularly.

Dispensing water

CAUTION

To avoid water damage to the floor or to the appliance, never dispense water without a glass underneath.

Notes

To avoid water damage, the function automatically stops after 30 seconds of continuous water dispensing.If you want to dispense more water, wait 5 seconds.
- You can dispense water up to five times in succession, after which the function stops automatically. If you want to dispense more water, wait 2 minutes.
The dispensed water is cooled to a palatable temperature. To obtain a colder drinking temperature, put additional ice cubes in the glass.
The water may become warmer when dispensing large amounts of water.

1. Hold the glass under the water dispenser.
2. Push the glass upwards against the dispenser lever or press button until the glass contains the amount of water required.

Ice maker

The ice maker produces ice cubes.

Note: The ice maker will only work when the appliance is connected to a drinking water supply and a filter is installed.

Before using the appliance for the first time

Switch on ice cube production.
As soon as the freezer compartment reaches the set temperature, the first batch of ice cubes will be ready in approximately 4 hours.
For hygiene reasons discard the ice produced within the first 24 hours.

Switching ice cube production on or off

WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

Never reach under or into the ice maker.

CAUTION
