5.3 Refrigerator compartment

The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in zones differing in temperature. It is coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment and in the door.

5.3.1 Food refrigeration

Note

The energy consumption increases and the cooling performance decreases if the ventilation is inadequate.

▶ Always keep the air slits of the fan free.

▶ Store perishable food such as ready-to-serve dishes, meat products and sausages in the coldest zone. Place butter and preserves in the upper area and in the door (see 1).
▶ Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminium and glass containers and cling film for wrapping.
▶ Always store raw meat and fish in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, to prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.
▶ Always store liquids and food which is subject to odour or taste transfer in closed containers or cover them.
▶ Use the front area of the refrigerator compartment floor only for briefly putting down cooled products, e.g. when rearranging and sorting. However do not leave cooled products there otherwise they may be pushed back or tipped over when the door is closed.
▶ Do not store food too close together to enable good air circulation.

5.3.2 Setting the temperature

The temperature depends on the following factors:

• the frequency of opening the door
• how long the door is open for
• the room temperature of the installation location
• the type, temperature and quantity of the food

Recommended temperature setting: 5 °C

An average temperature of approx. -18 °C is then established in the freezer compartment.

The temperature is changed sequentially. Once the 2 °C setting is reached, the sequence starts again at 9 °C.

▶ Call up temperature function: press the setting button Fig. 3 (2).

The previously-set value will flash in the temperature display.

▶ Change the temperature in 1 °C steps: Press the setting button Fig. 3 (2) until the required temperature is indicated in the temperature display.

During adjustment the value flashes on the display.

The new setting is adopted approx. 5 seconds after the last time the button was pressed and the set temperature is again displayed. The temperature in the interior gradually adjusts to the new value.

5.3.3 Fan

With the fan you can rapidly cool large quantities of fresh food or achieve a relatively even distribution of temperature across all the storage levels.

The forced-air cooling is to be recommended:

• at high room temperature (above33 °C)
• at high humidity

The forced-air cooling uses slightly more energy. To save energy, the fan switches off automatically when the door is open.

The fan may also run even when the fan function is switched off. This is expected behaviour and entirely normal when room temperature is below 18 °C and the SuperFrost function is switched on.

▷ The fan symbol Fig. 3 (8) shines.
The fan is active. In some appliances, the fan is only activated when the compressor is running.

▶ Briefly press the fan button Fig. 3 (4).

A vacuum is generated after the door is closed. After closing the door, wait for about 1 minute and then it opens more easily.

CAUTION

Risk of injury due to broken glass! Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks. ▶ Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!

So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do not exceed the following quantities per pack

• Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg
• Meat up to 2.5 kg
  Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic, metal or aluminium containers

5.4.2 Storage life

Standard values for the storage life of various types of food in the freezer compartment:
Ice-cream 2 to 6 months
Sausage, ham	2 to 6 months
Bread, bakery products	2 to 6 months
Game, pork	6 to 10 months
Fatty fish	2 to 6 months
Lean fish	6 to 12 months
Cheese	2 to 6 months
Poultry, beef	6 to 12 months
Vegetables, fruit	6 to 12 months

The values indicated for storage life are standard ones.

5.4.3 Thawing food

• in the refrigerator compartment
• in a microwave oven
• in a conventional or fan oven
• at room temperature
  ▶ Remove only as much food as is required. Use thawed food as quickly as possible.

▶ Food once thawed should be re-frozen only in exceptional cases.

5.4.4 SuperFrost

With this function you can freeze fresh food quick through to the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigeration. The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result.

In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a “cold reserve”. The food stays frozen longer as a result when you defrost the appliance.

You can freeze as many kilograms of fresh food within 24 hrs as is indicated on the type plate under "Freezing capacity ... kg/24hrs". This maximum freezing quantity can vary depending on model and climate class.

You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about 24 hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen.

Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already frozen to prevent the latter thawing.

You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases:

- when placing frozen food in the freezer

- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily

Freezing with SuperFrost

▶ Briefly press the SuperFrost button Fig. 3 (5).

Fig. 16

The SuperFrost symbol Fig. 3 (6) shines.
The freezer temperature drops, the appliance operates with the maximum refrigerating capacity.

Note

▶ Pressing the SuperFrost button can cause the compressor to switch on up to 8 minutes later, thanks to the integrated switch-on delay. This delay increases the service life of the compressor.

In case of a small amount of food to be frozen:

▶ wait approx. 6 h.
In case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen (see type plate):
▶ wait about 24 h.
▶ Place produce in the freezer compartment so that it touches the base or sides.
▷ SuperFrost is automatically deactivated after about 65 h.
TheSuperFrost button Fig. 3 (6) extinguishes once freezing is completed.
The temperature range set for the normal mode shines in the temperature display.
The appliance continues to operate in the energy-saving, normal mode.

To save energy SuperFrost can switch switched off, even before the full 65 hours of freezing time has elapsed, by pressing the SuperFrost button Fig. 3 (5) again. Only switch off SuperFrost once the temperature is -18 °C or colder.

5.4.5 Shelves

6 Maintenance

6.1 Manual defrosting

Fridge compartment:

The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the compressor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal.

▶ Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow away (see 6.2).

Freezer compartment:

A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment after a long period of operation.

The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance's energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.

Thawing process:

WARNING

Danger of injury and damage

▶ Do not use any mechanical aids or other means not recommended by the manufacturer in order to accelerate the defrosting process.
▶ Do not use electrical heating or steam cleaning equipment, open flames or defrosting sprays to defrost.
