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 remains 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 direct contact with the back wall. ¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance. ¡ Observe the best-before date or expiration date specified by the manufacturer. 11.2 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 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. Tip:Store groceries that do not spoil easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then continue 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 compartment ¡ 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 ensure that the air can circulate freely in the appliance, 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

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.en-us Water system ▶ 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 microwave, in the oven, or on the cooktop. Water system 13 Water system Water system Your appliance is equipped with water-carrying components. The water system only works if a water filter or a bypass cap is installed. Switch off ice cube production before disconnecting the appliance from the drinking water connection. → Page16 13.1 Water filter The water filter filters particles and the taste of chlorine out of the water. The water filter reduces further contamination, e.g. from chloramines, lead and pharmaceutical products. Note:The water filter does not filter bacteria or microbes out of the water. Change the water filter: ¡ Every 6months. ¡ If ##CP0717SY## flashes. ¡ If the water output has visibly reduced. Tips ¡ A new water filter can be purchased from customer service, your dealer or our website. ¡ If you do not want to use a water filter in your appliance or an external water filter system is installed, you can permanently replace the water filter with a bypass cap. The bypass cap filters only large particles out of the water and can be cleaned as required. A bypass cap can be purchased from customer service or our website. Changing the water filter or replacing it with a bypass cap

1. Reach into the recess below the filter cover, pull it

forward slightly and remove it.

2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise by 90° and

remove it . ‒ Remove the water filter with care as it is under pressure. Note:When removing it, a small amount of water may drip out of the water filter. Remove the drips of water with a dry cloth. Tip:You can dispose of the old water filter with your household garbage.

3. Insert the new water filter or the bypass cap all the way

into the filter opening and turn it 90° clockwise all the way.Water system en-us

Dispensing water ▶ Press and hold the glass against the dispensing button. ‒ If water has not been dispensed for 48hours, the water may have a "stale" taste. ‒ Flush the water system if water has not been drawn for 5days. To flush the water system, dispense 68floz (2liters) of water. 13.3 Ice maker Use the ice maker to produce ice cubes. WARNING Rotating parts may cause injury. ▶ Never reach into or underneath the ice maker. Note:The ice cube maker automatically detects that the ice storage container is full and stops producing ice cubes. It may take up to 48hours until the ice storage container is full. Tip:If the ice cubes taste stale, dispose of the remaining ice cubes and the cubes produced over the next 24hours. If the ice cubes still taste stale, change the water filter. Putting the ice maker into operation Notes ¡ Ice cube production starts as soon as the appliance is switched on and the freezer compartment has reached the set temperature. ¡ As soon as the freezer compartment reaches the set temperature, the first batch of ice cubes will be ready in approximately 4hours. Requirement:The appliance is connected to the drinking water connection. ▶ For hygiene reasons, discard the ice cubes produced within the first 24hours.
