en
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.
HyperFresh crisper drawer
The crisper drawer is the optimum storage location for
fresh fruit and vegetables.
The humidity controller of the partition and a special
seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the
crisper drawer.
The air humidity in the crisper drawer can be set
according to the type and amount of products to be
stored:
■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load:
Move the controller to the right.
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or
small load:
Move the controller to the left.
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.
Note
■ 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.
■ Condensation may form in the vegetable container
depending on the food and quantity stored. Remove
condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity
in the vegetable container with the humidity
controller.
12
Page 13
Freezer compartment
en
When arranging the food, note the following:
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 pocket 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 super freezing function before placing
the food in the freezer (see section headed Super
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.
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.
■ 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
If lots of food is to be stored, you can remove the glass
shelf and the ice twister.
Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise
the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
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.
■ The following are suitable for freezing:
Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry,
vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without their shells,
dairy products such as cheese, butter and curd
cheese, prepared dishes and leftovers such as
soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes,

Your appliance is equipped with a maintenance-free
LED light.
Any repair work on the lighting must only be carried out
by the after-sales service or authorised experts.
Saving energy
■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
The appliance must be installed out of direct sunlight
and away from heat sources (e.g. heating elements,
cooker).
Use an insulating plate if necessary.
■ Allow hot food and drinks to cool before placing
them in the appliance.
■ Place frozen food in the fridge compartment to
defrost and utilise the low temperature of the frozen
food to cool other food.
■ Only open the appliance doors for as short a time as
possible.
■ To prevent the food warming up quickly in the event
of a power cut or a fault, place blocks of ice in the
top compartment directly on top of the food.
■ Make sure that the freezer compartment door is
always closed.
■ The arrangement of the fittings has no effect on the
energy consumption of the appliance.
■ To prevent increased power consumption,
occasionally clean the air vent with a soft brush or
vacuum cleaner.
Ice twister
Note
Never clean the parts of the ice twister in the
dishwasher.
If no ice cubes are dispensed for an extended period,
the ice cubes in the storage container shrink, taste
stale and stick together. Therefore, the ice twister
should be cleaned regularly.
Smells
If you notice unpleasant smells:
1. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the circuit-breaker.
2. Remove all food from the appliance.
3. Clean the inside of the appliance (see section
headed Cleaning the appliance).
4. Clean all packaging.
5. Pack strongly smelling food in air-tight containers to
prevent odours.
6. Switch on the appliance again.
7. Arrange the food.
8. After 24 hours, check again to see if the smells
have reappeared.
