The temperature can be set from 42°F (1°C) to 34°F (6°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 re- mains fresh. 11.1 Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment ¡ Only store food when fresh and undamaged. ¡ Store food covered or in air-tight packaging. ¡ To avoid impeding the circulation of air and to prevent food from freezing, do not place food so that it has di- rect contact with the back wall. ¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before plac- ing in the appliance. ¡ Observe the best-before date or expiration date speci- fied by the manufacturer. 11.2 Chill zones in the refrigerator compart- ment The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones. Coldest zone The coldest zone is in the storage container. Tip:Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages and meat in the coldest zone. Warmest zone The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.Freezer compartment en-us

Tip:Store groceries that do not spoil easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then con- tinue to release its flavor and the butter will still be easy to spread. Freezer compartment 12 Freezer compartment Freezer compartment You can store frozen food, freeze food and make ice cubes in the freezer compartment. The temperature can be set from 6°F (−14°C) to −7°F (−22°C). Long-term storage of food should be at 0°F (−18°C) or lower. The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable food long-term. The low temperatures slow down or stop the spoilage. 12.1 Tips for storing food in the freezer com- partment ¡ Store food in air-tight packaging. ¡ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with frozen food. ¡ Place thefood over thewhole area ofthefrozen food containers. ¡ To quickly and gently freeze larger quantities of fresh food, place this in the bottom frozen food container. ¡ To ensure that the air can circulate freely in the appli- ance, push the frozen food containers in as far as they will go. 12.2 Tips for freezing fresh food ¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. ¡ Freeze food in portions. ¡ Cooked food is more suitable for freezing than food that can be eaten raw. ¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and blanch before freezing. ¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid solution. ¡ Food that is suitable for freezing includes baked items, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, eggs without shells, cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared meals and leftovers. ¡ Food that is unsuitable for freezing includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, raw apples and pears, yogurt, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise. Packing frozen food If you select suitable packaging material and the correct type of packaging, you can determine the product quality and prevent freezer burn.

1. Place the food in the packaging.2. Squeeze out the air.3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor or dry-

4. Label the packaging with the contents and the date of

freezing. 12.3 Defrosting methods for frozen food CAUTION During the thawing process, bacteria may multiply and spoil the frozen food. ▶ Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed food.▶ Refreeze food only after cooking.▶ The frozen items should no longer be stored for the maximum storage period. ¡ Defrost animal-based food, such as fish, meat, cheese, curd cheese, in the refrigerator compartment. ¡ Defrost bread at room temperature. ¡ Prepare food for immediate consumption in the mi- crowave, in the oven, or on the cooktop. Defrosting 13 Defrosting Defrosting 13.1 Defrosting in the freezer compartment The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains frost-free. Defrosting is not required. Cleaning and maintenance 14 Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning and maintenance To keep your appliance working efficiently for a long time, it is important to clean and maintain it carefully.

Issue Cause and troubleshooting Condensation accumulates on the surface of the appliance and on the shelves inside. The water contained in warm and humid air condenses on the colder surfaces of the appliance. 1. Wipe away the water with a soft, dry cloth.2. Open the appliance as briefly as possible.3. Ensure that the appliance is always closed properly. A large volume of condensation collects regularly in the fruit and vegetable container. Depending on the food and quantity stored, condensation may form in the fruit and vegetable container.

Remove the fruit and vegetable container. → Page14

2. Remove the ventilation clips and rotate them before inserting again .

The appliance hums, bubbles, buzzes, gargles, clicks or crackles. Not an issue. A motor is running, e.g. refrigerating unit, fan. Refrigerant is flowing through the pipes. The motor, switches or solenoid valves are switching on or off. Automatic defrosting is running. No action required. The appliance makes noises. The appliance is not level. ▶ Align the appliance using a bubble level and the screw feet. The appliance is not free-standing. ▶ Observe the minimum clearances for the appliance. Fittings wobble or stick. ▶ Check the removable fittings and, if required, replace these. Bottles or containers are touching. ▶ Move the bottles or containers away from each other.
