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.

Storage times (at 0 °C)

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment for the

following:

■ Storing deep frozen food.

■ To make ice cubes.

■ To freeze food.

Note

Make sure that the freezer compartment door is always

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.
