Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.

Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.

Removing the fittings

Pull out the frozen food container all the way, lift at the front and remove. Fig. )

2.4 GHz band: 100 mW max.

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:

■ The coldest zones are in front of the

air outlet openings and in the chill compartment, Fig. !/26.

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 bestbefore 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.

Note

Do not block air outlet openings with food, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.

Note

Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.

■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the

door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. The aroma of hard cheese can then continue to develop and butter remains spreadable.

Super cooling

Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 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.

Switching on and off

Fig. $

1. Select the refrigerator section using the °C button.

2. Press super button. The supercool indicator lights up.

You do not need to switch off super cooling.After 6 hours the previously set temperature will be automatically restored.

Note

When super cooling is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

The VitaFresh compartment

The temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is about 0 °C. The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.

Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer in the cool-fresh compartment than in the normal cooling zone – for even longer freshness, nutrient retention and flavour.

Vegetable container

Fig. ' The vegetable container 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 vegetable container.

The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount 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

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.

■ 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.

“Cool-fresh” container

Fig. !/26 The storage climate in the “cool-fresh”

container offers ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat, sausage, cheese and milk.

Freezing capacity

Information on the freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. Fig. ,

Prerequisites for freezing capacity

■ Switch on fast freezing 24 hours

before placing fresh products in the compartment (see chapter “Fast freezing”).

■ Preferably freeze large quantities of

food in the bottom compartment. This is where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.

Freezing and storing food

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.

When loading products, please note:

■ Freeze larger quantities of food

preferably in the bottom frozen food container. This is where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.

■ Distribute 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 necessary, re-stack frozen food in the frozen food containers.

■ To ensure air circulation in the

appliance, push the frozen food container all the way in.

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, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Freezing smaller amounts of food

How you freeze smaller amounts of food, so that they are frozen solid extremely quickly, can be found in the section Automatic super freezing.

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:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.

up to 12 months

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

The appliance runs constantly when super freezing has been switched on. The freezer compartment temperatures are much lower than in normal operation.

Switching on super freezing

Depending on the amounts of food to be frozen, you can use super freezing in different ways.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Automatic super freezing

Smaller amounts of food are frozen solid extremely quickly if you freeze them as follows:

■ In the bottom frozen food container

■ On left

Automatic super freezing automatically switches on when warm food items are placed inside the freezer.

Manual super freezing

Fig. $ Preferably freeze larger quantities of food

in the bottom compartment. Here, it freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.

Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.

If the freezing capacity according to the rating plate is to be used, switch on super freezing 24 hours before the fresh products are placed in the freezer compartment.

1. Select the freezer compartment area with °C button.

2. Press super button. The superfreeze indicator will be lit.

approx. 2½ days.

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
