Installing the appliance

Transporting

The appliance is heavy. Secure in position during

transportation and installation.

Due to the weight/dimensions of the appliance and to

minimise the risk of injury and damage to the appliance

at least two persons are necessary to set-up the

appliance safely.

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.

The installation location should neither be exposed

to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker,

radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is

unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe

the following minimum distances to a heat source:

■ 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.

■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

If installing the appliance next to another refrigerator

or freezer, ensure a minimum lateral distance of 25 mm

to prevent the formation of condensation.

If a panel or cupboard is installed above the appliance,

ensure that a gap of 30 mm is left so that the appliance

can be pulled out of the recess if required.

The air heated on the rear side of the appliance must

be allowed to escape unhindered.

Subsurface

m Caution

The appliance is very heavy.

13

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

■ To store frozen food.

■ To make ice cubes.

■ To freeze food.

Note

Ensure that the freezer compartment is always closed

properly! If the appliance is open, the frozen food will

thaw and the freezer compartment will ice up. Besides:

energy is wasted due to the high power consumption!

When closing the freezer compartment, a vacuum is

generated, causing a sucking noise. Wait two to three

minutes until the vacuum has subsided.

We recommend leaving the ice cube container

in the appliance. This ensures optimum temperature

distribution in the freezer compartment.

Purchasing frozen food

■ Packaging must not be damaged.

■ Use by the “use by” date.

■ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be

-18 °C or lower.

■ If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an

insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer

compartment.

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within

24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see diagram

at chapter “Customer service”).

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and

colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.

Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not

require blanching.

Literature on freezing and blanching can be found

in bookshops.

Note

Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which

is already frozen.

■ The following foods are suitable for freezing:

Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game,

poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells,

dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark,

ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews,

cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and

desserts.

■ The following foods are not suitable for freezing:

Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed

raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells,

grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-

boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream,

crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out,

place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.

2. Remove air.

3. Seal the wrapping.

4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene,

aluminium foil, freezer containers.

up to 6 months

■ Cheese, poultry and meat:

up to 8 months

■ Vegetables and fruit:

up to 12 months

en

14

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible

in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance

and flavour.

Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer

compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent

an unwanted temperature rise.

As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.

This appliance runs constantly and the freezer

compartment drops to a very low temperature.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super

freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the

fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen

without “super freezing”.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased

operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

1. Press freezer compartment selection button 5.

The freezer compartment display 6 is activated.

2. Press the “super” button 12.

If the freezer compartment display 6 shows "super"

and a temperature setting of -30 °C, super freezing

has been activated.

Super freezing automatically switches off after

approx. 2½ days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, select one

of the following options:

■ at room temperature

■ in the refrigerator

■ in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air

■ in the microwave

m Caution

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready

meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

No longer store the frozen produce for the max.

storage period.

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage

location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved

food, condensed milk and hard cheese.

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 the chill zones in the refrigerator

compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment

creates different chill zones.

The coldest zone is right at the bottom in the

refrigerator compartment and in the flip tray for large

bottles.

The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Notes

■ Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest

zone. Cheese can then continue to release its aroma

and the butter will still be easy to spread.

■ Store delicate foods, e.g. fish, sausage, meat, in the

cool-fresh compartment (see "The cool-fresh

compartment" section).

Opening and closing the refrigerator

compartment doors

There is a sealing flap on the left refrigerator

compartment door. This sealing flap seals the gap

between the refrigerator compartment doors.

m Caution

The sealing flap will get damaged if you close the left

refrigerator compartment door while the refrigerator

compartment door on the right is already closed.

Therefore always close the left refrigerator door first.

en

15

Super cooling

Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature

to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours.

Then the appliance automatically switches

to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode.

Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.

■ before placing large quantities of food

in the refrigerator compartment.

■ for the fast cooling of drinks.

Note

When super cooling is switched on, increased

operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

1. Press the selection button for the refrigerator

compartment 1.

The refrigerator compartment display 2 is activated.

2. Press the “super” button 12.

If the refrigerator compartment display 2 shows

"super" and a temperature setting of +2 °C, super

cooling has been activated.

Cool-fresh container

The temperature in the cool-fresh container is kept at

around 0 °C. The low temperature, which can be

adjusted specifically to the particular stored food,

ensures ideal storage conditions for fresh food.

Food can be stored up to three times longer than in the

normal cooling zone without loss of freshness – for

even longer freshness, nutrient retention and taste.

Temperatures in the cool-fresh container are lower than

in the refrigerator compartment. At the 0 °C setting,

temperatures may also drop below 0 °C.

The temperature must be set according to the stored

food:

■ Fish and meat, 0 °C

■ Milk and yogurt, +2 °C

■ Fruit and vegetables, +4 °C

Humidity container

The humidity container on the right side of the cool-

fresh container is covered with a special filter to

optimise retention of the air humidity in the storage

compartment. As a result, there is up to 95% air

humidity in the humidity container, depending on the

amount of products put in. This storage climate offers

ideal conditions for fresh fruit, salad greens,

vegetables, herbs and mushrooms.

Note

Condensation may form in the humidity container

depending on the type and quantity of products stored.

Remove condensation with a dry cloth.

Foods suitable for “cool-fresh” container:

In principle all foods which are fresh and are to remain

fresh for even longer, such as: fish, seafood, meat

and sausage, dairy products, and ready meals.

Foods not suitable for the “cool-fresh”

drawer:

Fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.: tropical fruit

such as pineapples, bananas, papaya, citrus fruits,

melons as well as tomatoes, aubergines, zucchini,

capsicums, cucumbers, potatoes).

The ideal storage location for these foods is

the refrigerator compartment.

When purchasing food, please note:

The “purchase freshness” is important for the shelf-life

of your food.

In principle, the following applies: the fresher you store

the food in the appliance, the longer it will remain fresh.

Therefore, when buying food, pay attention

to the degree of freshness.

In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods,

observe the best-before date or use-by date specified

by the manufacturer.

Features of the freezer

compartment

(not all models)

Drawer insert

The insert can be taken out.

Ice maker

1. Remove the ice cube tray, fill ¾ full of drinking water

and re-insert.

2. When the ice cubes are frozen, rotate the knobs

on the ice cube trays several times to the right

and release. The ice cubes loosen and fall into

the storage container.

3. Remove ice cubes from the storage container.

Intermediate floor with ice packs

Ice packs and small frozen food items can be stored

neatly in the intermediate floor between the frozen food

containers.

If a power failure or malfunction occurs, the ice packs

will slow down thawing-out of the frozen food. The

longest storage time will be achieved by placing the ice

packs on the food in the top compartment.

The ice packs can also be used to cool food

temporarily, e.g. in a cool bag.

Once the top frozen food container has been taken out,

the intermediate floor can be removed as well.

Tips for saving energy

■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room!

The appliance should not be installed in direct

sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).

If required, use an insulating plate.

■ Do not block the ventilation openings in

the appliance.

■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before

placing in the appliance.

■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment

and use the low temperature of the frozen food

to cool refrigerated food.

■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible.

■ Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always

closed properly.

■ If available:

Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated energy rating

of the appliance (see “Installing the appliance”,

section “Ventilation”). A reduced wall gap will not

restrict the function of the appliance. The energy

rating may then increase slightly.

■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the

energy rating of the appliance.
