Refrigerator compartment
Refri gerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing
meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
The temperature can be set anywhere between
+2°C and +8°C.
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store
highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The
lower the temperature selected, the slower the
enzymatic and chemical processes and deterioration
caused by micro-organisms. A temperature of +4°C or
lower ensures optimum freshness and safety of the
stored foods.
Note when storing food
Note: Avoid contact between food and the rear panel.
Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired and food
or packaging may freeze to the rear panel.
▯ Store food when fresh and undamaged.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for
longer.
▯ In the case of convenience products and bottled
goods, do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or
use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
▯ To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack
or cover food well before placing it in the
appliance.
This will prevent flavours being transferred between
foods and the plastic parts from becoming
discoloured.
▯ Leave warm food and beverages to cool down
before placing them in the refrigerator
compartment.
Note: Store products such as hard cheese and butter in
the warmest zone. Cheese can continue to release its
flavour, and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Vegetable container with humidity
controller
The vegetable container is the best storage location for
fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust the humidity in
the vegetable container via the humidity controller and a
special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be
stored up to twice as long as with conventional storage.
The humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and amount of products to be
stored:
▯ Mainly fruit or large loads – set lower humidity with
controller position ^
▯ Mainly vegetables or mixed or small loads – set
higher humidity with controller position ^^^
Notes
– Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapples, bananas,
papayas and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to
cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored
outside the appliance at temperatures of approx.
+8°C ... +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
the humidity in the vegetable container with the
humidity controller.
Cold storage compartment
The chill compartment has lower temperatures than the
refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below 0°C may
occur.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the interior at the rear wall and in
the chill compartment.
Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausages and
meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage.
Note: Not suitable for storing lettuce, vegetables or
food that is sensitive to the cold.

Freezer compartment
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
▯ Storing frozen food
▯ Making ice cubes
▯ Freezing food
The temperature can be set anywhere between –24°C
and –14°C.
The freezer compartment can be used to store
perishable foods for long periods almost without any
noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop deterioration. The
appearance, flavour and all the valuable ingredients are
largely retained.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer
compartment and it freezing solid depends on the
following factors:
▯ Set temperature
▯ Type of food
▯ Amount of food in the freezer compartment
▯ Quantity and type of storage
Maximum freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity indicates the quantity of
food that can be frozen solid within 24 hours.
Information on the maximum freezing capacity can be
found on the rating plate.
~ "Getting to know your appliance" on page 10
To use the maximum freezing capacity, switch on fast
freezing 24 hours before placing the fresh food in the
freezer compartment.
~ "Fast freezing" on page 16
Fully utilising the freezer volume
To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the
freezer compartment:
▯ Remove all fittings.
▯ Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor
of the freezer compartment.
Purchasing frozen food
▯ Check the packaging is not damaged.
▯ Check there is a sell-by date.
▯ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must be
–18°C or lower.
▯ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,
transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in the
freezer compartment quickly.
When loading products, please note:
▯ Freeze large quantities of food in the top
compartment.
Food will freeze very quickly and gently here.
▯ Distribute food across the compartments or frozen
food containers, leaving plenty of space.
▯ Do not bring food to be frozen into contact with
food already frozen.
If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food
containers.
▯ Important for unrestricted air circulation in
appliance:
Push in frozen food containers as far as they will
go.
Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity
1 Approx. 24 hours before inserting fresh produce:
switch on fast freezing.
~ "Fast freezing" on page 16
2 Take the container out of the freezer compartment
and stack the food directly on the shelves and on
the floor of the freezer compartment.
3 Fill the upper compartment with food first. This is
where the food will freeze most quickly.
4 If the top compartment does not have enough
space, store the remaining quantity in the
compartment underneath.

▯ Unpeeled or hard boiled eggs
▯ Grapes
▯ Whole apples, pears and peaches
▯ Yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, creme fraiche
and mayonnaise
Packing frozen food
The correct type of packaging and material selection are
decisive factors in the retention of the product quality,
and prevent the development of freezer burn.
1 Place food in packaging.
2 Squeeze out the air.
3 Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavour
and drying out.
4 Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.
The defrosting method must be adjusted to the food and
application in order to retain the best possible product
quality.
Defrosting methods:
▯ In the refrigerator compartment (especially suitable
for animal-based foods such as fish, meat, cheese,
quark)
▯ At room temperature (bread)
▯ In the microwave (food for immediate consumption
or immediate preparation)
▯ In the oven/cooker (food for immediate
consumption or immediate preparation)
Caution!
Do not refreeze food after it has been defrosted or
started to defrost. You can only refreeze the food after it
has been used for a ready-to-eat meal (boiled or fried).
The frozen food can no longer be stored for the
