Hints

Saving Energy

• Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section "Installation". When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.

Hints for refrigeration

- Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell.

The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools food stuffs and ensures optimal distribution of the temperature between the fridge and the "Vital & frisch" 0°C compartment.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:

• Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves.
• Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
  Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Freezer compartment

Temperature Control

• To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the temperature setting.
• Switch on the Super Frost function a few hours before freezing fresh items. Press the Super Frost button (7). The yellow indicator (6) will light up.
• In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs switch off the Super Frost function. To do that, press the Super Frost button (7) again. The yellow indicator (6) will go off.

Super Frost function

The Super Frost function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.

• The Super Frost function is switched on by pressing the Super Frost button (7). The yellow light illuminates (6).
  If the Super Frost function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the Super Frost function after 48 hours. The yellow light goes out.

Hints

Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions.
• It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may burst.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.

"Vital & frisch" 0°C compartment

• In the “Natura fresh” 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary.
• The constant storage temperature of about 0^ and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90% provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food.
• You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the “Natura fresh” 0°C compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments. This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields a higher degree of nutritional value.
• The “Natura fresh” 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food. In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days in the “Natura fresh” 0°C compartment.
• The compartment has stops to prevent the drawers from falling out when fully extended. To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning purposes), pull them out as far as the stops, lift and extract.

Humidity control

- Both drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity.

Natura fresh

Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer.

• „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity.
  This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position “% ” and the ventilation openings are wide open.
• „Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90 %. This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position “ % ” and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.

0°C compartment - Interior Accessories

Drawers

- The wire shelves inside the drawers permit that air can circulate freely and consequently a better conservation of foods.

i Hints

• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and freshness influence the storage time.
• Foods, and especially salad, must be kept well covered or packaged in such a way that they do not dry out and that their flavours and fragrances remain unchanged.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature will improve the texture and flavour.
• The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening.
• The “Natura fresh” 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the “Natura fresh” 0°C compartment for up to two days.

Not to be placed in the "Natura fresh" 0°C compartment:

- cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.

Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please follow these instructions:

SYMPTOM SOLUTION
Door does not close	Weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf so spread weight more evenly or take some products out.The appliance is not properly installed. Please look in the “Building-in” section.
It is too warm inside the refrigerator	Set a lower temperature.Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them.Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean.The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.
It is too cold inside the refrigerator.	Set a warmer temperature.
The compressor works continuously.	Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number.The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings are unobstructed.The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or frequent opening/closing of the door.
Noises	Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking sounds when the system is connected or disconnected.The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing through the tubes.The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping.The insulation material used has a tendency to slightly increase noise levels, how ever it allows for much better insulation and a lower energy consumption.Your appliance is equipped with a dynamic air ventilation system. To ensure optimal cooling performance in the refrigerator and 0°C compartment the fan is operates with various power levels. This results in the fan operating at different speeds for different lengths of time. This is quite normal and not a fault with the appliance.

Malfunctions

If the electronics in the appliance have detected a fault that prevents the ACTUAL temperature being measured, the temperature display shows a square. The appliance will continue to function using a backup programme until your local Customer Service engineer has repaired the appliance.

Customer service and spare parts

If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in these operating instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service department and consult the Guarantee card.

Selective ordering of replacement parts can save unnecessary travel and costs.

The technical data is indicated in the rating plate on the left side inside the appliance.

If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 12 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).

Installation

Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

• During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.
• Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

Positioning

• Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good condition and free of any transport damage.
• Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
• For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in Fig.

50 mm min. 200 cm² min. 200 cm² D526

Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

- It is necessary that the niche is provided with a conduct of ventilation having the following dimensions:

Depth 50 mm

Width 540 mm

The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is located inside the cabinet on the left hand wall.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:

Climate classification	for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32°C
N	+16 to +32°C
