Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter “Customer service”).
Fully utilising the freezer volume
To place the maximum amount of food in the freezer, the top frozen food container can be taken out of the appliance. The food can then be placed directly on the shelves and stacked in the lower frozen food container.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment
To store deep-frozen food.
To make ice cubes.
To freeze food.
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!
When the freezer compartment door is closed, a low pressure occurs, causing a sucking noise. Wait two to three minutes until the low pressure has adjusted itself.
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
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, hard­boiled 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:
Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets.
Unsuitable packaging:

Page 15
en
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.
You can freeze smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) without fast freezing.
Note
When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.
Switching on super freezing
1. Keep pressing the “select” button until the freezer compartment climate zone is marked with an arrow.
2. Press “super” button.
If “super freezing” is switched on, “SU” and “super” are indicated on the display panel.
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 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.
Switching off super freezing
1. Keep pressing the “select” button until the freezer compartment climate zone is marked with an arrow.
2. Press “super” button.
If super freezing is switched off, the “SU” and “super” displays go out on the display panel.

Note
Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:
Coldest zone is between the vegetable container and
the glass shelf situated above.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone above the vegetable container.
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 flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

“Cool-fresh” container
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.
Vegetable container with humidity controller
To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and vegetables, you can set the air humidity in the vegetable container depending on the quantity stored:
smaller quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air
humidity
large quantities of fruit and vegetables – 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 approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.

ice cubes.
m Warning
Never reach into the ice cube dispenser opening! Risk of injury!
m Caution
Do not place bottles or food in the cube container in order to cool them quickly. The ice maker may block and be damaged.
* Not all models.
Using the ice and water dispenser
The ice and water dispenser only works when the appliance is connected to the water mains.
When the appliance has been switched on, it takes approx. 24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are ready.
When the appliance has been connected, there are still air bubbles in the lines.
Run off drinking water and pour away until water can be dispensed without bubbles. Pour away the first 5 glasses.
When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use the first 30-40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene.
en
Observing drinking water quality
All materials used in the drinks dispenser are odourless and tasteless.
If the water has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:
Mineral and chlorine content of the drinking water.
Material of the domestic water line and connection
line.
Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not
been dispensed for a long time, the water may have a “stale” taste. In this case fill approx. 15 glasses of water and throw away.
We recommend that you regularly dispense a little fresh water from the water maker and that you do not switch off the appliance. This will ensure that the best water quality is retained.
The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out of the supply water, not bacteria or microbes.

Dispensing water
Operating the ice maker
As soon as the freezer compartment has reached its freezing temperature, ice cube production starts. After 2–3 hours the ready ice cubes are automatically discharged into the ice cube container.
Note
The appliance produces more ice if you lower the freezer compartment temperature. This will slightly increase the energy consumption of your appliance.
Occasionally ice cubes will freeze together and block the dispenser:
1. Open the door and check inside whether ice cubes are sticking to the ice and water dispenser.
2. If the ice and water dispenser is not blocked:
m Caution
A full ice cube container is heavy!
Carefully pull out ice cube container and remove ice
cubes which are frozen together.
When the ice cube container is full, ice making switches off automatically.
When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and the falling ice cubes can be heard.
Note
The water from the water dispenser is cooled to a palatable temperature. If you would like the water colder, place ice cubes in the glass before dispensing the water.
Note
When dispensing fairly large amounts of water, the dispensed water may become warmer.

Water filter
m Warning
Do not use the appliance in places where the water quality is risky or not sufficiently known about without suitable disinfection, before and after filtering.
A filter cartridge for filtering particles can be obtained from customer service or a specialist dealer.
m Caution
After installing a new filter, always discard the ice
produced within the first 24 hours after switching on the ice maker.
If the ice has not been used for a prolonged period,
pour all ice cubes out of the container and also discard the ice produced within the next 24 hours.
If the appliance or the ice has not been used actively
for several weeks or months or if the ice cubes have an unpleasant taste or odor, change the water filter.
Air trapped in the system may cause water
to escape and the filter cartridge to be ejected. Caution when removing.
The filter must be changed at least every 6 months.
Important information concerning the water filter
After use, the water system is subject to low
pressure. Be careful when removing the filter!
Rinse the water system through if the appliance has
not been used for a long period, or if the water tastes or smells unpleasant. In addition to this, draw water from the water dispenser for several minutes. If the unpleasant taste or smell persists exchange the filter.
The term ‘bacteriostatic’ indicates that the system
limits the passage or growth of bacteria that may already exist in the incoming water. It does not mean that water leaving the system is microbiologically safer to drink than the water entering the system.
18
Page 19
en
Exchanging the filter cartridge
After 6 months you are prompted via the [filter change] display message to change the filter cartridge (see chapter “Special functions”).
Take out the filter cartridge as follows:
Insert new filter cartridge.
Draw a few litres of water from the water dispenser.
Doing this removes air from the water system.
Pour water out of the used filter cartridge. The filter
cartridge can be disposed of in the household rubbish.
Use locking cap
The ice and water dispenser can also be used without a water filter. In this case, fit the locking cap.
Note
The locking cap and the filter screen inside should be rinsed out under running water at regular intervals.
