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 +36 °F (+2 °C)... +46 °F (+8 °C).

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable groceries 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 +39 °F (+4 °C) or lower ensures optimum freshness and safety of the stored groceries.

Note when storing food

Note: Avoid contact between food and the back panel.

Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired and food or packaging may freeze to the back panel.

■ 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, 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.

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 in the interior at the back panel and in the chill compartment.

Note: Store delicate 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 aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable bin

The vegetable container is the optimum 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. eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside of the appliance at temperatures of approx. +8 °C/+36 °F ... +12 °C/+46 °F for optimum preservation of quality and aroma.
  ■ Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored.
  Remove condensation with a dry cloth.

Vegetable container with humidity controller

The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. You can adjust the humidity in the vegetable container via the humidity controller and a special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored up to twice as long as with conventional storage.

The humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and quantity of products to be stored:

■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower humidity with controller position FRUIT
- Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small load – set higher humidity with controller position VEGETABLES

Notes

For optimum preservation of quality and flavor store fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) outside of the appliance at temperatures of approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) ... +54 °F (+12 °C).

- Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust the humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.

Cool-fresh bin

The storage climate in the cool-fresh container offers ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat and sausage.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

■ storing frozen food
■ making ice cubes
- freezing food

The temperature can be set from -11 °F (-24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °C).

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

Fully utilizing the freezer volume

To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the freezer compartment:

■ Remove all fittings.
■ Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor of the freezer compartment.

Purchasing frozen food

■ Ensure the packaging is not damaged.
- Check there is a sell-by date.
■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.
- Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible, transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in the freezer compartment quickly.

When loading products

■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top compartment.
This is where it will freeze especially quickly and gently.
- Distribute food in the compartments or frozen food containers.
- Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with frozen food. If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food containers.
■ Important for unrestricted air circulation in the appliance: push in frozen food containers up to the limit stop.

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 eaten raw.

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

■ 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 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

en-us Freezer compartment

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, creme fraiche 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 flavor or drying out.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

■ Plastic foil
■ Tubular foil made of polyethylene (PE)
- Aluminum foil
■ Freezer containers

Suitable closures:

Rubber bands
■ Plastic clips
■ Cold-resistant adhesive tape

Unsuitable packaging:

■ Wrapping paper
■ Greaseproof paper
Cellophane
■ Garbage bags and used grocery bags

Shelf life of frozen food at 0 °F (-18 °C)

Fish, sausage, ready meals, and cakes and pastries:	up to 6 months
Meat, poultry: up to 8 months
Vegetables, fruit: 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)
■ 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 partly or completely thawed food. You can only refreeze food once it has been cooked (boiled or fried).

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

Ice and water dispenser

You can use the ice and water dispenser to dispense:

cooled water
crushed ice
- ice cubes

Before using the appliance for the first time

■ The ice and water dispenser only works when the appliance is connected to a drinking water pipeline.
■ For hygiene reasons, dispense water for 5 minutes and discard.
When the appliance has been connected, there may be air in the water circuit. Keep dispensing water until there are no more air bubbles in it.
It takes approx. 24 hours until the first serving of ice cubes is ready.
For hygiene reasons, discard the ice cubes produced within the first 24 hours.

Observing drinking water quality

All materials used in the ice and 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 pipeline

■ Freshness of the drinking water.

Note: If you dispense water again after a long time, it may taste stale. In this case, dispose of the first 15 glasses.

You will obtain the best water quality if you dispense a little water regularly.

The supplied water filter will filter only particles out of the water, not bacteria or microbes.

Information on operation of the ice maker

Ice cube production starts as soon as the freezer compartment has reached the set temperature.

The ready ice cubes are automatically discharged into the ice cube container.

Ice cube production stops as soon as the ice cube container is full.

Note: You can accelerate ice production by setting a colder freezer compartment temperature. This will slightly increase energy consumption.

Dispensing ice and water

Notes

■ To prevent the ice from falling on the floor, hold the glass directly under the dispenser when dispensing crushed ice.
- To prevent water damage, the water dispenser automatically stops after 30 seconds of continuous dispensing. If you want to dispense more water, wait 5 seconds and then press the button again.
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 dispenser.
2. Keep pressing the dispensing button until the required quantity of ice or water is in the glass.
