Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs,
ready meals and pastries.
Note when 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, color and freshness, pack or cover
food well before placing in the appliance. This will
prevent the transfer of flavors and the discoloration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
Note:
Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise
the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
Vegetable container with humidity
controller
The vegetable container is the optimum storage location
for fresh fruit and vegetables. A humidity controller and a
special seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the
vegetable container. This allows fresh fruit and
vegetables to be stored up to twice as long as with
conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and quantity of products to be
stored:
■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – lower air
humidity
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or small
load – higher air humidity
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones:
■ Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the
side and the glass shelf situated below.
Note:
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the
coldest zone.
■ The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note:
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest
zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavor,
and butter will still be easy to spread.
Note:
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya
and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.
eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and
potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator
at temperatures of approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) to +54 °F
(+12 °C) for optimum preservation of quality and flavor.
Note:
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.

en-us
Super cooling
Super cooling cools the refrigerator compartment as
cold as possible for approx. 15 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
Press refrigerator compartment super button 9.
The button is lit when super cooling is switched on.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment
■ To store frozen food.
■ To make ice cubes.
■ To freeze food.
Note:
Ensure that the freezer compartment door has always
been closed properly! If the door is open, the frozen food
will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered
in thick ice. Besides: energy is wasted due to the high
power consumption!
Freezing and storing food
Purchasing frozen food
■ The packaging must not be damaged.
■ Pay attention to the expiration date.
■ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F
(–18 °C) or lower.
■ If possible, transport frozen food in an insulated bag
and place quickly in the freezer compartment.
When loading products
■ Preferably freeze large quantities of food in the top
compartment, where food freezes particularly quickly
and therefore also gently.
■ Place the food over the whole area
of the compartments or the frozen food containers.
Note:
Food which is already frozen must not come into
contact with the food which is to be frozen. If required,
move the frozen food to other frozen food containers.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and
color, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.
Eggplants, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not
require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in
bookstores.
Note:
Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is
already frozen.
■ The following foods are suitable for freezing:
Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry,
vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy
products such as cheese and butter, 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:
Vegetables that 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 flavor or drying out, place
in airtight containers.
1.
Place food in packaging.
2.
Remove air.
3.

Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in
order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance
and flavor.
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.
You can place smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) in
the top compartment without super freezing.
Note:
When super freezing is switched on, increased operating
noises may occur.
Switching on and off
Press freezer compartment super button 2.
The button is lit when super freezing is switched on.
Super freezing automatically switches off after approx.
2½ days.
Thawing frozen food
Depending on the type and application, you can select
one of the following options:
■ at room temperature
■ in the refrigerator
■ in an electric oven with/without a hot air fan
■ in a microwave.

droplets. The condensation runs through the
condensation channel and the drainage hole to the
evaporation pan, where it evaporates.
Note:
Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean,
so the condensation can drain off.
Cleaning the appliance
, CAUTION:
■ Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic cleaning
agents or solvents.
■ Do not use scouring or abrasive sponges. The
