Usable capacity
You will find the details of the usable capacity on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
Using the entire freezing capacity
To accommodate the maximum quantity of frozen food,
you can remove all of the fittings from inside the
appliance. You can then stack the food directly on the
shelves and the bottom of the freezer compartment.
How to remove and refit the fittings is described in the
section headed Fittings.
Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment is the perfect place for keeping
ready meals, bread and pastries, jams and preserves,
condensed milk and hard cheeses.
When placing food in the fridge, follow
these guidelines:
Keep fresh, untouched food in the fridge. In that way
it will keep longer and stay fresher.
In the case of ready-made products and packaged
foods and liquids, pay attention to the manufacturer's
specified best-before or use-by date.
In order to maintain flavour, colour and freshness,
keep food well packed or covered over. That also
prevents flavours from mixing and the plastic parts
from becoming discoloured in the fridge
compartment.
Allow warm food and beverages to cool before
putting them into the appliance.
Note
Keep food from coming into contact with the rear panel.
Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could also become frozen to the
rear panel.
Pay attention to the temperature zones in
the fridge compartment
The air circulation produces different temperature
zones in the fridge compartment:
The coldest zones are close to the rear panel.
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note
Keep items such as hard cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. That will allow the cheese to continue
developing its flavour and the butter will remain
spreadable.
Cold storage container
Food can be kept in the cold storage container up to
two times longer than in the normal fridge compartment
– to keep it fresher for longer and retain its nutritional
value and taste.
The temperature can be individually adjusted to suit the
food placed inside. Setting the optimum temperature
and air humidity ensures the ideal storage conditions
for fresh food.
Setting the temperature
Using the selector button, select the type of food that is
in the cold storage container.
The LED lights up to show the selection made.
The following foods are unsuitable for
keeping in the cold storage container:
Fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to the cold
(e.g. pineapples, bananas, papaya and citrus fruits,
aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes
and potatoes) should be stored outside the
refrigerator at temperatures between about +8 °C
and +12 °C in order to keep their flavour and
condition at their best.
The following foods are suitable for
keeping in the cold storage container:
Fish, seafood, meat, sausage and cold meats, dairy
products, ready meals
Vegetables (e.g. carrots, asparagus, celery, leeks,
beetroot, mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower,
sprouts, kohlrabi)
Lettuce varieties (e.g. lamb's lettuce, iceberg,
chicory, round lettuce)
Herbs (e.g. dill, parsley, chives, basil)
Fruit (varieties not sensitive to cold, e.g. apples,
peaches, berries, grapes).
ã=Caution
After power failure or disconnection of the appliance
from the mains, the temperature of the cold storage
container must be readjusted.

closed. When the door is open, the frozen foods defrost
and the freezer compartment ices up heavily. In
addition: Energy is wasted due to the power
consumption.
Note
The 2-star door pockets can be used to store ice and
food at -12 °C for short periods.
The rest of the freezer compartment is 4-star rated.
Max. freezing capacity
You will find information on the maximum freezing
capacity in 24 hours on the rating plate.
Conditions for use of max. freezing
capacity
Switch on the fast freezing function before placing
the food in the freezer (see section headed Fast
freezing).
Remove the freezer compartment fittings.
Stack the food directly on the shelves and the
bottom of the freezer compartment.
Note
Do not cover over the ventilation slots in the rear
panel with the food you are freezing.
Preferably, large quantities of food for freezing
should be placed in the top compartment. There it
will freeze quickly and, therefore, without adversely
affecting the food quality.
Freezing and storing
Purchasing frozen foods
Packaging must not be damaged.
Observe the best before date.
The temperature in the commercial chest freezer
must be -18 °C or colder.
As far as possible, frozen food must be transported
in an insulated container and quickly placed in the
freezer compartment.
When arranging the food, note the
following:
Preferably, large quantities of food for freezing
should be placed in the top compartment. There it
will freeze quickly and, therefore, without adversely
affecting the food quality.
Spread the items out well in the compartments/trays.
Note
Food that is already frozen must not come into
contact with the food that is to be freshly frozen. If
necessary, move already frozen items to other
freezer trays.
Storing frozen food
Push the freezer trays in as far as they will go so as to
ensure perfect air circulation.
Freezing fresh food
Only use fresh, undamaged food for freezing.
In order to retain the nutritional value, aroma and colour
of the food as much as possible, blanch vegetables
before they are frozen.
Blanching is not required for aubergines, peppers,
courgettes and asparagus.
You can find literature about freezing and blanching in
bookshops.
Note
Do not allow food that is to be frozen to sit right next to
food that has already been frozen.

Defrosting frozen food
You can choose between the following options,
depending on the type of food and its intended use:
at ambient temperature
in the fridge
in an electric oven, with/without hot air convection
In the microwave oven.
ã=Caution
Do not refreeze defrosted food. It can only be refrozen
after it has been made into a ready-to-eat meal (cooked
or roasted).
Do not continue to use the complete max. storage time
for the frozen food.
Ice and water dispenser
Any of the following can be dispensed, as required:
chilled water
crushed ice
ice cubes
ã=Warning
Never reach into the ice cube dispenser spout.
There is a risk of injury.
ã=Caution
Never place bottles or food in the ice cube container in
an attempt to cool them quickly. You could block and/
or damage the ice-maker.
Points to observe when switching on for
the first time
The ice and water dispenser only functions when the
appliance is connected to the water supply.
After the appliance is first switched on, it takes roughly
24 hours for the first portion of ice cubes to be
produced.
When the water supply is first connected, there are still
air bubbles in the pipes.
Draw off and throw away the drinking water until there
are no longer any air bubbles in the water dispensed.
Discard the first 5 glasses of water.
When the ice-cube maker is used for the first time, for
hygiene reasons the first 30 - 40 ice cubes should not
be used.
Notes on using the ice-maker
Once the freezer compartment has reached its freezing
temperature, water is fed into the ice-maker and freezes
into ice cubes inside. When ready, the ice cubes are
automatically discharged into the ice-cube container.
After the appliance is first switched on, it takes roughly
24 hours for the first portion of ice cubes to be
produced.
Sometimes, the ice cubes may stick together. They
usually come apart of their own accord when fed to the
dispenser spout.
When the ice-cube container is full, the ice-maker
switches off automatically.
The ice-maker can make roughly 140 ice cubes in a
period of 24 hours depending on the ambient
temperature and the appliance setting.
When ice cubes are being made, the sound of the
water valve humming, the water running into the ice tray
and the ice cubes dropping into the container can be
heard.

Observing the drinking water quality
All materials used to manufacture the water dispenser
are odourless and tasteless.
If the water has an after-taste, this may be caused by
the following:
The mineral and chlorine content of the drinking
water.
The material that the household plumbing or water
mains are made of.
The freshness of the drinking water. If water has not
been dispensed for a long period of time, the water
may taste "stale". In such cases, draw off and throw
away about 15 glasses of water.
We recommend that you regularly draw off a certain
amount of water from the water dispenser and do not
switch the appliance off. This will maintain the best
water quality.
Note
The water filter supplied only filters particles out of the
water supply; it does not remove bacteria or microbes.
Dispensing water
1. Press the "water" button. The display panel shows
the "Water" symbol.
2. Press a glass against the dispenser lever until the
glass is filled with the desired amount of water.
Tip
The water from the water dispenser is cooled to a
pleasant temperature for drinking. If you prefer the
water to be colder, dispense some ice cubes into the
glass before drawing the water.
Dispensing ice
Only hold the container against the dispenser lever until
the container is half full of ice. Otherwise, the ice in the
ice-cube dispenser spout may cause the container to
overflow or block the ice cube dispenser spout.
If crushed ice was dispensed before dispensing ice
cubes, there may still be some crushed ice in the
dispenser spout. It will come out together with the first
few ice cubes.
1. Press the "crushed ice/ice cubes" button until the
display shows the "Ice cubes" or "Crushed ice"
symbol.
2. Press a suitable vessel against the dispenser lever
until it is filled with the desired amount of ice.

Switching off the ice-maker
Note
It is imperative to turn off the water supply to the
appliance several hours before switching off the
ice-maker.
If you do not expect to be using the ice-maker for
longer than 1 week (e.g. when going on holiday), the
ice-maker should be temporarily switched off to stop
the ice cubes freezing together.
1. Press and hold the "crushed ice/ice cubes" button
for 3 seconds.
In the display, the symbols "Ice cubes", "Crushed ice"
and "Lock" flash for approx. 3 seconds.
Then the water dispensing is switched on and the
symbol "Water" lights up.
Note
When the "crushed ice/ice cubes" button is pressed,
when the ice-maker is switched off, an alarm sounds
and the symbols "Ice cubes" , "Crushed ice" and "Lock"
flash for approx. 3 seconds.
2. Pull out the ice-cube container.
3. Empty the ice-cube container and clean it.
4. Push the ice-cube container all the way back on the
runners until it snaps into place.
Switching on the ice-maker
Press and hold the "crushed ice/ice cubes" button for
3seconds.
An alarm sounds as soon as the ice-maker is switched
on.
Water filter
ã=Warning
In localities where the water quality is not ideal or not
known, do not use the appliance without suitable
means of disinfection on the inlet and outlet side of the
filter.
Filter cartridges for the water filter can be obtained from
After-sales Service.
ã=Caution
After fitting a new filter cartridge, always throw away
the first 24 hours' worth of ice produced after
switching on the ice-maker.
If the ice has not been used for an extended period,
throw away all the ice cubes in the ice-cube
container as well as the ice produced over the next
24 hours.
If the appliance has not been used or no ice has
actually been dispensed for several weeks or
months, or if the ice cubes have an unpleasant taste
or smell, change the filter cartridge.
Air trapped in the system can cause water to spurt
out and eject the filter cartridge. Take care when
removing it.
The filter cartridge must be replaced at least every
6months.
Important notes on the water filter
After use, the water system is slightly under
pressure. Take care when removing the filter
cartridge.
If the appliance has not been used for an extended
period or the water has an unpleasant taste or smell,
flush the water system through. To do so, draw water
from the dispenser continuously for several minutes.
If the unpleasant taste or smell persists, change the
filter cartridge.
