5.3.5 Adjusting the temperature in the BioFresh compartment

The temperature is regulated automatically. At a temperature of 5 °C in the refrigerator compartment, the temperature in the BioFresh compartment is between 0 °C and 3 °C.
You can adjust the temperature slightly colder or warmer. The temperature is adjustable from 1 (coldest temperature) to 9
(warmest temperature). The preset value is 5. At 1 to 4, the temperature can drop below 0 °C and therefore the food may
freeze a little. The temperature can be changed continuously. Once the value
9 is reached, the selection starts from the beginning again. A combination of LEDs that corresponds to the value shines in the temperature display.
To activate the setting mode: Press the SuperFrost button

5.4 Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment.

5.4.1 Freezing food

The rating plate indicates the maximum quantity of fresh food you can freeze within 24 hours (see Appliance at a glance) under “Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”.
The maximum load of frozen food for the drawers is 25 kg each and for the shelves 35 kg each.

5.4.4 SuperFrost

With this function you can freeze fresh food quickly through to the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigeration. The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result.
In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a “cold reserve”. The food stays frozen longer as a result when you defrost the appliance.
The maximum amount of fresh food which can be frozen in 24 h is indicated on the type plate under “freezing capacity ... kg/ 24h”. This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.
You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about 24 hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen.
Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already frozen to prevent the latter thawing.
You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases:
when placing frozen food in the freezer
-
when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily
-

Maintenance
The freezer temperature drops, the appliance operates with
w
the maximum refrigerating capacity. In case of a small amount of food to be frozen: wait approx. 6 h.
u
Place wrapped produce in the bottom drawers.
u
In case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen (see type plate): wait about 24 h.
u
Remove bottom drawer and place produce directly in the
u
appliance so that it touches the base or sides. SuperFrost is automatically deactivated after about 65 h.
w
The SuperFrost button extinguishes once freezing is
w
completed. Place produce in the drawer and then push the drawer back
u
in again. The appliance continues to operate in the energy-saving,
w
normal mode.

5.4.5 Drawers

To store frozen food directly on the shelves: pull the drawer
u
forwards and lift it out.
Using cold storage accumulators*
Freeze and store the cold storage accumu-
u
lators in the ceiling of the freezer compart­ment.
With the top drawer removed: to insert cold storage accu-
u
mulators: slide cold storage accumulator into the top back of the freezer compartment ceiling and snap into place at the front.
With the top drawer removed: to remove cold storage
u

5.4.6 Shelves

To remove the shelf: lift up at the front
u
and pull out. To put the shelf back: simply push in as
u
far as it will go.

5.4.7 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 frozen food
u
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.
(4) Sausages, bread

5.4.9 Cold storage accumulators*

The cold storage accumulators prevent the temperature from rising too fast in the event of power failure.
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 6.2) .
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”.
w
Switch off the appliance.
u
The temperature display goes out.
w
Pull out the power plug or switch off the fuse.
u
Place cold storage accumulators on top of the frozen food.
u
If possible, put the frozen goods in the freezer drawer,
u
wrapped in newspaper or a blanket, and store in a cool place. Place a pan with hot, not boiling
u
water on a middle shelf.
Defrosting is speeded up.
w
Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting.
u
Remove detached pieces of ice.
u
If necessary, pick up defrost water several times, using a
u
sponge or cloth. Clean the appliance (see 6.2) and rub dry.

7 Malfunction

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation. If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a handling error. In this case you will have to be charged for the costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
Appliance does not work.
The appliance is not switched on.
Switch on the appliance.
u
The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
Check power plug.
u
The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
Check fuse.
u
The compressor runs for a long time.
The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is
needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved. This is normal in energy-saving models.
u
SuperFrost is activated.
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the
u
food. This is normal.
A LED on the bottom rear of the appliance (at the compressor) flashes regularly every 15 seconds*.
The inverter is equipped with a diagnostic LED.
The flashing is normal.
u
* Depending on model and options 13
Decommissioning
Excessive noise.
Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated*
compressors can generate different running noises. The sound is normal.
u
A bubbling and gurgling noise.
This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refriger-
ation circuit. The sound is normal.
u
A quiet clicking noise.
The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit
(motor) automatically switches on or off. The sound is normal.
u
A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on.
The refrigeration increases automatically when the
SuperFrost, function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while. The sound is normal.
u
The ambient temperature is too high.
Solution: (see 1.2)
u
A low hum.
The sound is produced by air flow noise of the fan.
