Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. 14

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.

Storing food

Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer. In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer. To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.

Note

Do not block air outlet openings with food, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:

The coldest zones are in front of the air outlet openings and in the chill compartment, Fig. 1/23. Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zones. Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Note

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. The aroma of hard cheese can then continue to develop and butter remains spreadable.

Vegetable container with humidity control

Fig. 10

To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and vegetables, you can set the humidity level in the vegetable container:

• Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small load – high air humidity
• Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – low air humidity

Notes

• Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g., pineapple, banana, papaya, and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g., aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approximately +8 °C to +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavor.
• Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.

Cold storage compartment

Fig. 8

The cold storage compartment has lower temperatures than the refrigerator compartment. Even temperatures below 0 °C may occur.

Eliminating minor faults yourself

Before you call customer service:

Please check whether you can eliminate the fault yourself based on the following information.

Customer service will charge you for advice – even if the appliance is still under guarantee!

Fault Possible cause Remedial action
Temperature differs greatly from the set value.		In some cases it is adequate to switch off the appliance for 5 minutes.If the temperature is too high wait a few hours and check whether the temperature has approached the set value.If the temperature is too low check the temperature again the next day.
It is too cold in the refrigerator section or in the chill compartment.		Increase the temperature in the refrigerator section.
		Push temperature controller for the chill compartment downwards. Fig. 9
The temperature in the freezer section is too warm.	Appliance opened frequently.	Do not open the appliance unnecessarily.
	The ventilation openings have been covered.	Remove obstructions.
	Large quantities of fresh food are being frozen.	Do not exceed the freezing capacity.
Appliance is not cooling, temperature display and light are lit up.	Showroom mode is switched on.	Press and hold °C button for 15 seconds."77" appears briefly on the control panel.After a short time check whether your appliance is cooling.
The side panels of the appliance are warm.	Pipes run into the side panels which heat during the cooling process.	That is normal behaviour for the appliance and not a fault.Furniture touching the appliance will not be damaged by the heat.
The appliance displays a temperature alarm for no apparent reason.	A heat source is located too close to the appliance.A second refrigerator is located right next to the appliance (side-by-side installation).	Call customer service.
The light does not function. The LED light is defective. See chapter “Light (LED)” section.
	Appliance was open too long.Light is switched off after approx. 10 min.	When the appliance is closed and opened, the light is on again.
Displays do not illuminate. Power failure; the fuse has been switched off; the mains plug has not been inserted properly.		Connect mains plug. Check whether the power is on, check the fuses.
Freezer compartment door was open for a long time; temperature is no longer reached.	The evaporator (refrigeration generator) in the NoFrost system is covered in thick ice and can no longer be defrosted fully automatically.	To defrost the evaporator, remove the frozen food with the compartments, insulate well and store in a cool location.Switch off the appliance and move it away from the wall. Leave the appliance door open.After approx. 20 min. the condensation begins to run into the evaporation pan, at the rear of the appliance.To prevent the evaporation pan from overflowing in this case,mop up the condensation with a sponge.The evaporator is defrosted when the water stops running into the evaporation pan. Clean the interior. Switch the appliance back on again.
Condensation accumulates on the surface of the appliance and on the shelves inside.	The effect is reinforced if ambient temperatures are warm and humid.	Wipe away the water with a soft, dry cloth.■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible■ Make sure that the appliance is always closed properly.

Appliance self-test

Your appliance features an automatic self-test program which shows you sources of faults which may be repaired by customer service only.

Starting the appliance self-test

1. Pull out the appliance plug or switch off the fuse and wait 5 minutes.
2. Plug the appliance back in or switch on the fuse and within the first 2 minutes press and hold °C button for 3 seconds until an audible signal sounds.

The self-test programme will start.

If the self-test ends and an audible signal sounds twice, your appliance is in working order.

If 5 audible signals sound, there is an error. Notify customer service.

Ending the appliance self-test

When the programme has ended, the appliance switches over to normal operation.
