√ The appliance stops cooling.
Setting the temperature
After you have switched on the appliance, you can set the temperature.
Setting the refrigerator compartment temperature
- Press ≠ repeatedly until the temperature display shows the required temperature.
The recommended temperature in the refrigerator compartment is 4 °C.
Setting the cool-fresh compartment temperature
Note: The temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is kept at around 0 °C .

→ Page 47
Additional functions
Find out which additional functions which can be used for your appli-ance.
Super cooling
Super cooling cools the refrigerator compartment to make it as cold as possible. This cools food and drinks quickly through.
Switch on Super cooling before placing large quantities of food in the freezer compartment.
Note: When Super cooling is switched on, increased noise may occur.
Switching on Super cooling
▶ Press super
√ suplights up.
Note: After approx. 15 hours, the appliance switches to normal operation.
Switching off Super cooling
▶ Press super
√ The previously set temperature is displayed.
Alarm
Your appliance is equipped with alarm functions.
Door alarm
If the appliance door is open for a longer period, the door alarm switches on.
Switching off the warning signal (door alarm)
- Close the appliance door or press alarm.
√ The warning tone is switched off.
Refrigerator compartment
You can keep dairy products, eggs, ready meals, pastries, open preserves and hard cheese in the refrigerator compartment.
You can set the temperature in the refrigerator compartment from 3 °C to 8 °C.
The recommended temperature in the refrigerator compartment is 4 °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.
Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment
Follow the tips if you store food in your refrigerator compartment.
■ To ensure that the freshness and quality of the food is retained for longer, only store fresh and unspoiled food.
In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, do not exceed the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
■ To retain aroma, colour and freshness or to prevent taste transfer and discolouration of the plastic parts, store food well wrapped or covered.
■ Leave warm food and beverages to cool down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.
Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is on the partition and in the door rack for large bottles.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Tips
- Store food that does not spoil easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then continue to release its aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread. - Store perishable food such as fish, sausages and meat in the cool-fresh compartment.
→ "Cool-fresh compartment", Page 42
Cool-fresh compartment
In the cool-fresh compartment, you can keep fresh food fresh three times longer than in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is kept at around 0 °C. Storing food in the fresh compartment retains the quality of the food better. The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
Storage times in the cool-fresh compartment at 0 °C
The storage times are dependent on the original quality of your food.
| Food Storage | time |
| Fresh fish, seafood up to 3 days | |
| Poultry, meat (boiled/fried) up to 5 days | |
| Beef, pork, lamb, sausage (cold meat) | up to 7 days |
| Smoked fish, broccoli up to 14 | days |
| Salad greens, fennel, apricots, plums | up to 21 days |
| Soft cheese, yoghurt, quark, buttermilk, cauliflower | up to 30 days |
