5.6.7 VarioSpace
Apart from being able to
remove the drawers, you can
also remove the shelves,
creating space for large items
of frozen food. Poultry, meat,
large pieces of game and high
bakery products can be frozen
in one piece and prepared.
The maximum load of
u
frozen food for the drawers
is 25 kg each and for the
shelves 35 kg each.
The figures indicate the storage time in months for several
types of frozen food in each case. Storage times given are
guide times.
*
Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling performance decreases if there is insufficient ventilation.
For appliances with NoFrost:
Leave the bottom drawer in the appliance!
u
Always keep the air slits of the fan free at the rear wall!
u
To store frozen food directly on the shelves: pull the drawer
u
forwards and lift it out.
5.6.9 Cold storage accumulators
The cold storage accumulators prevent the temperature from
rising too fast in the event of power failure.
Using cold storage accumulators*
Place the frozen cold storage
u
accumulators on the frozen food
in the upper front area of the
freezer compartment.
Using cold storage accumulators*
Freeze and store the cold storage accumu-
u
lators in the ceiling of the freezer compartment.

Note
The IceMaker produces ice cubes only if the drawer is fully
u
closed.
Producing ice cubes*
The production capacity depends on the freezer temperature.
The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can be
produced in a specific period.
The ice cubes drop from the IceMaker into the drawer. When a
certain filling level has been reached, no further ice cubes are
produced. The IceMaker does not fill the drawer right up to the
brim.
If large quantities of ice cubes are needed, the complete
IceMaker drawer can be exchanged for the adjacent drawer.
When the drawer is closed, the IceMaker automatically recommences production.
Once the IceMaker has been switched on for the first time, it
may take up to 24 hours until the first ice cubes are produced.
Note
When the appliance is used for the first time and if it has been
out of use for a long time, particles may collect in the IceMaker
and/or water conduit.
Therefore do not use or consume the ice cubes made in the
u
first 24 hours.
Setting the water intake time*
The opening time of the IceMaker valve can be set if, for
example, the water pressure in the pipe is too low or too high.
The water intake time can be set in stages from E1 (short intake
time) to E8 (long intake time). The intake is preset at E3.
To activate the setting mode: press the SuperFrost button

6.1 Defrosting with NoFrost*
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the appliance.
Refrigerator compartment:
The defrost water evaporates due to the compressor heat.
Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow
u
away (see 6.3) .
Freezer compartment:
The moisture condenses on the evaporator, is periodically
defrosted and evaporates.
The appliance does not have to be manually defrosted.
u
6.2 Manual defrosting*
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically.
The defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the
compressor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly
normal.
Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow
u
away (see 6.3) .
A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment
after a long period of operation.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is
opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside.
However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s
energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!
Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames
u
or defrosting sprays for defrosting.
Do not remove ice using sharp instruments.
u
Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting.
u
The frozen goods are provided with a “cold reserve”.
