Operating the appliance Connect the appliance to an earthed mains socket. The local mains volt- age must match the voltage stated in the technical specifications for the appliance. Setting the temperature control (3) au- tomatically sets the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. There are 8 possible settings for the temperature control (3) (see Fig. 20): Fig. 20 0 The appliance is switched off203

To de-energise the appliance, set the temperature control (3) to and unplug the mains plug from the socket. 1 Lowest level of cooling (warmest) 2–5 Intermediate position 7 Highest level of cooling (coldest) The internal temperatures can be influenced by factors such as the in- stallation location, ambient temperature and the number of times the door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the tem- perature control (3). Do not load the refrigerator compartment (9) or freezer compartment (13) before the appliance has cooled. Before loading fresh food, set the temperature of the refrigerator or freezer compartment to the coldest level by selecting level . The maximum level of cooling on the temperature control (3) should only be set for short periods in the event of high external temperatures or when filling the refrigerator with food that must be cooled quickly. Once the required interior temperature has been reached, the tempera- ture control (3) should be readjusted again, otherwise temperatures in- side the appliance fall below 0°C and can damage the chilled goods. Check the temperatures in the compartments with a thermometer. Ideal tem- peratures are +8°C in the refrigerator compartment (9) and -18°C in the freezer compartment (13). Once the set temperatures have been reached, you can load the appliance with food. .. Switching off the appliance To de-energise the appliance, set the temperature control (3) to and unplug the mains plug from the socket. Wait approx. 10 minutes before switching on the appliance again. . Optimising energy consumption In order to achieve the best possible cooling performance with low energy con- sumption, observe the following: Do not position the appliance near a heat source (radiator or cooker etc.). The location should be not too warm, dry, dust-free and well ventilated. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the refrigerating appliance. Leave all shelves and the fruit/vegetable compartment (8) in the appliance dur- ing operation to minimise energy consumption. If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the appliance zones to increase significantly. Only open the door briefly when204 loading and removing foodstuffs. Less cold can escape if the door is left open for only a short time and therefore the appliance requires less energy. Select the temperature setting according to how full the appliance is. Ensure that the door seals are undamaged and that the door closes properly. If the appliance is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. Allow the appliance to defrost, clean it and then allow it to dry. Leave the door open to prevent mould from forming in the appliance. .. Recommended temperature setting Ambient temperature Temperature setting up to 32°C Setting 2–4 Normal Setting 4 from 16°C Setting 4–6 Effects of storage on food At the recommended setting, the optimal storage time in the refrigera- tor compartment is no longer than 3 days. At the recommended setting, the optimal storage time in the freezer compartment is no more than 1 month. Other settings can shorten the optimal storage time. The optimal storage time varies depending on the food. Pay attention to the storage times recommended by the food manufacturers. . Storing food in the refrigerator compart- ment NOTICE! Possible material damage! Risk of damage to the door seal. Sensitive surfaces: Do not allow oil and grease to come into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as the door seal can become porous and brittle. To avoid food from becoming contaminated, please observe the following instruc- tions: If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the appliance zones to increase significantly. Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems.205

Store raw meat and fish in appropriate containers in the refrigerator to ensure that they do not come into contact with or drip onto other food. Store food on plates, in appropriate containers. Distribute the food evenly throughout the appliance. Please note that food must not touch the rear wall of the cooling chamber, as this could cause frost and con- densation to form. Allow hot foods to cool down before placing them into the fridge to avoid in- creasing the energy consumption. Ensure that foods that take on other smells easily, such as butter, milk and quark, are well packaged. i.e. in tightly sealed containers. Store food in the correct cooling zone according to its type and sensitivity, see ‘6. Recommended food storage’ on page 194. Storing vegetables with a high water content causes condensation to form on the vegetable containers. This does not impair the proper function of the refrig- erator compartment (9). Dry vegetables thoroughly before placing them in the compartment (9). The storage time is reduced for vegetables with a high water content (e.g. leaf vege- tables, cucumbers). . Deep-freezing food Almost all types of food are suitable for freezing, except vegetables which are eaten raw, e.g. lettuce. Only high-quality food is suitable to be frozen. Freeze food in portions for single use and do not refreeze any products that have defrosted. Food to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been frozen. It may be necessary to reduce the quantity of food to be frozen if you in- tend to freeze food each day. Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the food manufacturers. Place the food in odourless, airtight, moisture-free, greaseproof and leach-resist- ant packaging. – Polythene bags and aluminium foil are the most suitable materials. – The food must be closely wrapped in airtight packaging. – Do not use glass packaging as the glass may shatter. Set the temperature control to position 2 to 3 hours before putting fresh food in the freezer. After inserting fresh food to be frozen, set the temperature control to one of positions . Take care not to overload the freezer compartment (13) otherwise optimal per- formance cannot be guaranteed and energy consumption will increase. – Signs of moisture or swelling of deep-freeze packaging indicates that the food has not been stored/transported correctly and may be spoiled. Check the condition of the food before eating. Fruit can be frozen in the freezer compartment (13) and ice cubes can be made.206 .. Using ice cube trays Clean the ice cube tray (14) thoroughly with water and a little washing-up liquid before using for the first time. Fill the ice cube tray (14) with drinking water. Place the ice cube tray (14) on the level in the freezer compartment (13). As soon as the ice cubes are frozen, remove the ice cube tray (14) from the freez- er compartment (13) and press the ice cubes out of the mould. .. Defrosting food Depending on the type and use, food can be defrosted in a refrigerator, in a contain- er filled with lukewarm water, in a microwave, at room temperature or in the oven. Fruit and vegetables which are going to be cooked do not need to be defrosted. Once defrosted, food is preferably to be eaten on the same day or stored in the re- frigerator compartment (9) until the next day at the latest. Food must not be refro- zen, even if it has not fully defrosted. . Cleaning and maintenance Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems. WARNING! Risk of electric shock! There is a risk of electric shock from electrified parts. Before starting any cleaning work, always pull the mains plug out of the socket (pull on the plug, not the cable). If the plug is not accessible, the corre- sponding fuse for the mains electricity supply to the house needs to be switched off. Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.207

DANGER! RISK OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE! An accumulation of gas can lead to explosions. Do not use any flammable liquids to clean the appli- ance or its individual parts. Do not use defrosting sprays, as these can form ex- plosive gases. WARNING! Risk to health! Improperly handling foods can lead to food poisoning. Cooling is no longer sufficient if you switch off the appliance or in case of power failure. Frozen food can thaw or defrost completely. A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning can shorten the storage life of the frozen products. Remove the frozen food from the appliance, wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a sufficiently cool room or refrigerator. WARNING! Risk of injury! Risk of burns resulting from the low temperatures. Do not touch the freezer compartment’s frozen inner walls or frozen foodstuffs with your hands. Use a dry cloth, for example, to hold the frozen products. NOTICE! Possible material damage! Damage to the appliance caused by improper handling Do not operate any electronic appliances to assist in cleaning the interior. Both appliances may be dam- aged irreparably. Do not use any abrasive or harsh cleaning agents on208 the inside, door or housing of the appliance as these could damage the surfaces. Do not allow oil and grease to come into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as the door seal can become porous and brittle. Do not use any mechanical equipment or artificial means to accelerate the defrosting process, e.g. elec- tric heaters, hot air blowers, hair-dryers or pointed or hard objects. The heat insulation and appliance inte- rior are sensitive to scratches and heat and can melt.... Defrosting the refrigerator and freezer compartment For thorough cleaning, you should defrost the appliance beforehand. Turn the temperature control (3) to position . The appliance switches off. Pull the mains plug out of the socket. If the plug is not accessible, the corre- sponding fuse for the mains electricity supply to the house needs to be switched off. A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, main- tenance or cleaning can shorten the storage life of the frozen products. It is advisable to defrost the appliance at least once a year. Take the frozen products out of the freezer compartment (13), wrap in a few lay- ers of paper and possibly a blanket and store in a cool location. Empty the refrigerating appliance and clean as described in the next section. After approx. half an hour after switching off, the frost coating can be easily re- moved from the smooth walls using a plastic or wooden spatula. The spatulas are not supplied as part of the package contents.... Cleaning the appliance Clean the drainage channel for con- densation water in the refrigerator compartment (9), e.g. with a cotton bud or a cleaning pin (see Fig. 21). Clean the refrigerator and freezer compartment with a mild cleaning agent (e.g. washing-up liquid) and allow to dry. Fig. 21209

Clean all the fittings carefully with a mild detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid) (fruit/vegetable compartment (8), door compartments (4/6), glass shelves (10/11)). The glass shelves (10/11) are made of toughened safety glass and are dishwasher-safe. To prevent mould, vinegar (cleaning vinegar, household vinegar or vine- gar essence) can be added to the water for cleaning. Cleaning agents containing sand, soda and acid are not suitable. Clean the appliance surfaces, except the door seal, with a mild cleaning agent. Clean the door seal with clean water, wipe it off and allow to dry. Plug the mains plug back into the socket. As soon as the freezer compartment (13) has reached a temperature of -18°C, you can put the food back into the appliance. . Measures in case of power failure Food must not be refrozen, even if it has not fully defrosted. In case of a power failure, check the condition of food before eating (see also ‘3.3.4. Use of the appliance’ on page 190).210 . Troubleshooting WARNING! Risk of electric shock! There is a risk of electric shock due to live parts.
