Preventing material damage
Preventing material damage
Follow these instructions to prevent
material damage to your appliance,
accessories or other objects in your
kitchen.
ATTENTION!
¡ Using the base, runners or appli-
ance doors as a seat surface or
climbing surface may damage the
appliance.

Environmental protection and saving energy
Environmental protection
and saving energy
Environmental protection and saving energy
Help protect the environment by using your appliance in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
Information about current disposal
methods are available from your
specialist dealer or local authority.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Selecting the installation location
Follow these instructions when installing your appliance.
¡ Keep the appliance out of direct
sunlight.
¡ Install the appliance as far away
as possible from heating elements, cookers and other heat
sources:
– Maintain a 30mm clearance to
electric or gas cookers.
– Maintain a 30cm clearance to
oil or solid-fuel cookers.
The appliance needs to cool less
frequently at low ambient temperatures.
¡ Use a niche depth of 560mm.
¡ Do not cover or block ventilation
openings.
The air on the back wall of the ap-
pliance can escape more easily
and the appliance does not warm
up so intensely.
The appliance must cool less frequently.
Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separately.

Saving energy during use
Follow these instructions when using
your appliance.
Note:The arrangement of the fittings
does not affect the energy consumption of the appliance.
Installation and connection en
¡ Do not cover or block ventilation
openings.
The air on the back wall of the ap-
pliance can escape more easily
and the appliance does not warm
up so intensely.
¡ Open the appliance door only
briefly.
¡ Transport purchased food in a
cool bag and place in the appliance quickly.
¡ Allow warm food and drinks to
cool down before placing them in
the appliance.
¡ Thaw frozen food in the refriger-
ator compartment to utilise the low
temperature of the food.
The air in the appliance does not
warm up so intensely.
The appliance must cool less frequently.
¡ Always leave some space
between the food and to the back
panel.
¡ Pack the food airtight.
The air can circulate and the air
humidity remains constant.
¡ Defrost the freezer compartment
regularly.
A frost-free freezer compartment is
power-saving and cools the frozen
food optimally.
¡ Only open the freezer compart-
ment door briefly and then carefully close it.
A closed freezer compartment
door protects the freezer compartment against severe icing.

You can keep dairy products, eggs,
prepared meals, pastries, open preserves and hard cheese in the refrigerator compartment.
You can set the temperature in the
refrigerator compartment from 3°C
to 8°C.
The recommended temperature in
the refrigerator compartment is 4°C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temperature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment
Follow the tips if you store food in
your refrigerator compartment.
¡ To ensure that the freshness and
quality of the food is retained for
longer, only store fresh and unspoiled food.
¡ In the case of ready-made
products and bottled goods, do
not exceed the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
¡ To retain aroma, colour and fresh-
ness or to prevent taste transfer
and discolouration of the plastic
parts, store food well wrapped or
covered.
¡ Leave warm food and beverages
to cool down before placing them
in the refrigerator compartment.
Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is on the partition
and in the door rack for large bottles.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tips
¡ Store food that does not spoil eas-
ily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can
then continue to release its aroma
and the butter will still be easy to
spread.
18
Cool-fresh compartment en
¡ Store perishable food such as fish,
sausages and meat in the coolfresh compartment.
→"Cool-fresh compartment",

Cool-fresh compartment
Cool-fresh compartment
Cool-fresh compartment
In the cool-fresh compartment, you
can keep fresh food fresh three times
longer than in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature in the cool-fresh
compartment is kept at around 0°C.
Storing food in the fresh compartment retains the quality of the food
better. The low temperature and the
optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
Storage times in the coolfresh compartment at 0°C
The storage times are dependent on
the original quality of your food.

Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer compartment depends on the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food longterm. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on various factors:
¡ Set temperature
¡ Food (size and type)
¡ Quantity and type of storage
¡ Quantity and type of food already
stored
Freezer compartment door
To ensure that the frozen food that is
stored does not thaw and the freezer
compartment is not covered in too
much ice, always close the freezer
compartment door.
The position of the handle on the
freezer compartment door indicates
whether or not the freezer compartment is correctly closed.
Note:When you close the freezer
compartment door, you can hear it
engaging.

Freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity indicates the quantity of food that can be
frozen right through to the centre
within a specific period of time.
Information on the maximum freezing
capacity can be found on the rating
plate. →"Appliance", Fig. 1 /7,
Page14
Prerequisites for freezing capacity
1. Approx. 6hours before placing
fresh food in the appliance, switch
on Super function.
→"Switching on Super function",
Page17
2. Store larger quantities of fresh
food store at the bottom, close to
the back panel. This is where food
will freeze most quickly.
Tips for buying frozen food
Follow the tips when you are buying
frozen food.
¡ Check the packaging is not dam-
aged.
¡ Check the best-before date.
¡ The temperature in the supermar-
ket freezer must be –18°C or
lower.
¡ Do not interrupt the deep-freeze
chain. If possible, transport frozen
food in a cool bag and quickly
place it in the freezer compartment.
Tips for storing food in the freezer compartment
Follow the tips if you are storing food
in the freezer compartment.
¡ Spread out the food over a wide
area in the freezer compartment.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
If necessary, redistribute frozen
food in the freezer compartment.
Tips for freezing fresh food
Follow the tips when you freeze fresh
food.
¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable than
food that can be eaten raw.
¡ In order to retain the nutritional
value, flavour and colour, you
should prepare certain food for
freezing.
– Vegetables: Wash, chop up,
blanch.
– Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps
peel, possibly add sugar or
ascorbic acid solution.
Additional information on how to do
this can be found in the relevant literature.
Food suitable for freezing
¡ Baked goods

does not defrost automatically. A
layer of hoarfrost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the
frozen food and increases power
consumption.
Defrosting the freezer compartment

Page17
This means that the food reaches
very low temperatures and it can
be stored for longer at room temperature.
2. Remove the frozen food and tem-
porarily place it in a cool location.
Place ice packs (if available) on
the frozen food.
3. "Switch off the appliance."
→Page17
4. Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
