Freezing, Storage
- Figure 1
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as
rapidly as possible.Frozen food can also be given a
cold boost.This is provided by the Superfrost
feature and ensures that the nutritional value,
appearance and flavor of the food remain intact.
• The maximum amount of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the model plate
(
“Freezing capacity ...kg/24h”
), (Fig. 1, 23).This
amount varies according to the model and

- Figure 1
• Press the Superfrost button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly so
the LED tur ns ON. The freezer temperature will
decrease and the appliance will change to the
lowest temperature.
• For small amounts of frozen food, it is
normally sufficient to turn ON Superfrost
six hours beforehand.For the maxim um
amount (see freezing capacity on the
model plate) you will need to turn it ON
24 hours before.
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer,
preferably in the top drawer. If freezing the
maximum quantity of food, DO NOT use the
drawers;instead, place the wrapped food directly
on the glass shelves.Once the food is frozen,
you can place it into the drawers.
• The Superfrost function turns OFF automatically.
Depending on the quantity of food placed in the
freezer, this will normally be between 30 and
maximum of 60 hours.The freezing process is
now complete; the Superfrost LED will turn OFF,
and the freezer will change back to normal
energy-saving operation.
IMPORTANT
You should not
turn ON the Superfrost function:
•
when placing frozen food in the freezer;
•
when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs
(2 kg) fresh food daily.
Information System
- Figure 8
Use frozen food within the recommended period.
The numbers between the symbols indicate the
storage period in months for different kinds of
frozen foods.Storage times given are guidelines for
food frozen at home.Whether or not the lower or
upper value is applicable depends on the food
quality and how it was processed prior to freezing.
The lower values always apply to food with a high
fat content.

CI 16/CS 16
Freezing and Storage
Do Not Freeze:
Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears, and
fatty meat.
Food to Freeze:
Meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit,
dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre-cooked
meals.
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or
reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to
come into contact with food already frozen.
Always keep packages dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the
package and do not exceed the stated storage
time for the food.This prevents spoiling.
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in
quantities right for your household.To ensure the
food freezes right through quickly, the following
quantities should not be exceeded per package:
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).
• Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting
them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes,
remove and quickly cool down in cold water. If
you blanch with a steamer or microwave oven,
please follow the operating instructions.)
• Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched
vegetables before freezing. Only lightly salt and
season other food.Some spices can alter their
flavor intensity.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain
carbonated drinks as they might burst.Drinks
can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles
out of the freezer compartment after an hour at
the most.
• Only take out as much food as needed for
thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as
quickly as possible.Frozen food can be thawed
in the following ways:
- in a microwave oven
- in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food
because there is less chance of bacteria
growth.Use this method for high density food
such as roasts or poultry.
- Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked
when partially thawed.
- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen ( in
half the normal time).

Water Connection
Please read the first three points of the safety
instructions and warnings before connecting the
appliance to the main water supply.
• The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0
psi (1.5-6 bar).
• Use a 1/4 inch OD copper line to connect the
water supply to the solenoid valve.
This is not
supplied with the refrigerator (Figure 9).
• A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve
illustration here, must be installed between the
hose line and the main water supply so the
water supply can be stopped if necessary.
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the
refrigeration unit.
Figure 9
• If you have hard water, we recommend you install
a water softener. Also, a filter must be installed if
the water contains solids such as sand.
• All equipment and devices used to supply the
water to the appliance must comply with the
current regulations for your geographical area.
Connection to the Water Supply
1. Install the shut-off valve, water filter and
automatic shut-off device as required.
Note
The solenoid valve is located at the rear of
your unit.
2. The 1/4 inch copper
tubing between the
shut-off valve and
solenoid valve has a
3/4 inch male
connector
(Figure
10)
. Make sure there
is approximately 27
inches (68.6 cm) of
excess tubing behind
the unit for easy
connection.
Note
A 3/4 inch to a 1/4
inch adapter is
supplied with the
icemaker .
3. Open the shut-off
valve for the water
supply and check the
entire water system for
leaks. Before the appliance is used for the first
time a licensed plumber should bleed air from
the system.
4. Insert the electrical plug for the combined
refrigerator/freezer into the electrical outlet
(Figure 11)
.
5. Move the combined refrigerator-freezer into final
position in the room.

CI 16/CS 16
To Start the IceMaker
The IceMaker will only work if the combined
refrigerator-freezer is connected to the electrical
outlet. It will only make ice cubes if the freezer
compartment is operating.
The IceMaker is in the top left drawer in the freezer
compartment of the combined refrigerator-freezer.
You can identify this drawer by its labeling
“IceMaker .”
To turn on
• Pull out the drawer.
• Press the “ON/OFF” button so the control lamp
comes on
(Figure 12)
.
• Close the drawer.
Note
The icemaker can only make ice cubes if the
drawer is completely closed.
Figure 12
To turn off
If you do not need any ice cubes, the icemaker can
be turned off independently of the freezer
compartment.
• Press the “ON/OFF” button for approximately
1 second so the control lamp goes out.
Note
If the icemaker is turned off, the empty drawer
can also be used to freeze and store food.
To make ice cubes
After you start the icemaker for the first time it may
take up to 24 hours before the first ice cubes are
ready.
Note
The first three batches of ice must not be
consumed or used.
The production capacity depends on the
temperature inside the freezer compartment.The
lower the temperature, the more ice can be
produced over a period of time.
The ice cubes fall out of the icemaker into the
drawer.When the ice reaches a certain level in the
drawer, the appliance stops producing ice
automatically.
If you need a large quantity of ice you can change
out the drawer to the right with the complete
“IceMaker” drawer.When you close the drawer the
icemaker will immediately start production.
To Clean the IceMaker
The IceMaker (arrow in
Figure 13
) can be cleaned
by using this procedure.
1. Pull out the drawer and remove the ice.
2. Clean the drawer with warm water and mild dish
detergent.
3. To access the IceMaker for cleaning:
a. With the drawer pulled out, press and hold
the “ON/OFF” button until the LED goes out
(takes about 1 second).
b. Continue to hold the button and after 10
seconds the LED will start to flash.
c. Insert the drawer while the LED is flashing.
The IceMaker should rotate down into the
cleaning position.
d. Remove the drawer.
4. Clean the IceMaker with warm water. If you need
to use a cleaning aid, use a mild dish detergent
and rinse. You will need to throw out the first
three batches of ice if you use any soap.
5. Push the “ON/OFF” button until the LED lights
and insert the drawer.
6. Throw out the first three batches of ice to
remove any soap residue.
Note
If you need to leave the IceMaker off, clean
the IceMaker but do not push the “ON/OFF”
button in Step 5.

DEFROSTING/CLEANING
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment:
The refrigerator compartment
defrosts automatically. The water
that forms on the rear wall
drains into a reservoir at the
back of the appliance and
evaporates automatically
through the compressor heat.
Ensure the defrost water can flow freely through
the drain hole in the rear wall
(Figure 14)
.
Freezer compartment:
The No-frost system automatically defrosts the
freezer compartment. Any moisture will collect on
the evaporator and freeze. It will periodically defrost
and evaporate.
Cleaning
• To prevent possible injury due to an
electrical shock, be sure to disconnect
the power cord or turn OFF the circuit
breaker before replacing the interior
light bulb(s) or cleaning the appliance.
