appliance. This allows the refrigerant and system lubri-

cation to reach equilibrium.

Make sure incoming voltage is the same as the appli-

ance rating. A 110-120 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp electrical

supply (20 Amp for side-by-side installations) circuit

that is controlled by a circuit breaker or fuse is required.

We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this appli-

ance to prevent electrical overload.

Follow all Federal, State and local electrical, fire and

building codes and ordinances when installing the

receptacle and / or the appliance.

In some communities, a wall switch is required to turn

power to the appliance ON and OFF.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal

injury, installation work and electrical wiring must be

done by a qualified electrician in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated

construction.

Fig. 4 (8)

The acoustic warning ceases.

5.3 Fridge compartment

The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compart-

ment results in zones with differing temperatures. It is

coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at the

rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment

and in the door.

5.3.1 Refrigerating food

Note

Do not load the door with more than 40 lbs (18 kg) of

food.

Note

Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy

consumption and reduction of the refrigerating perform-

ance.

Never block the air slits in the fan.

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass

containers and cling film to wrap foods.

Always use closed containers for liquids and for food

that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer

or cover them.

Foods which give off a large amount of ethylene gas

and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit,

vegetables and salad, should always be separated or

wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for

example, do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits

or cabbage.

Use the front floor area of the fridge compartment only

to set down food to be refrigerated temporarily, e.g.,

when rearranging or sorting the contents of the fridge.

Do not leave the food there, as it may be pushed back

or tipped over when the door is closed.

Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient

air circulation.

To ensure bottles do not tip over: move the bottle

holder.

5.3.2 Setting the temperature

The temperature depends on the following factors:

the number of times the door is opened

the room temperature of the installation location

the type, temperature and amount of food.

Recommended temperature setting: 41 °F (5 °C)

The temperature can be altered continuously. If the

setting reaches 34 °F (2 °C) it starts again at 48 °F (9 °C).

Calling up the temperature adjustment: Press the chiller

compartment Set button

Fig. 4 (3)

once only.

Operation

10 * Depending on model and options

On the temperature display, the LED flashes the

current temperature.

Press the chiller compartment Set button

repeatedly until the illuminated LEDs show the desired

temperature.

Note

By pressing and holding down the Set button, a slightly

colder value can be set within a small temperature

range (e.g. between 41 °F (5 °C) and 45 °F (7 °C)). On

the temperature display, the illuminated LEDs then

show the next lower temperature range.

5.3.3 Fan

The fan allows you to rapidly cool large amounts

of fresh food or to achieve a relatively even

distribution of temperature across all the storage

levels.

Re-circulated air cooling is advisable:

at high room temperatures (from approx. 95 °F

(35 °C) )

in the case of high humidity

Re-circulated air cooling has a somewhat higher energy

consumption. To save energy, the fan automatically

switches off when the door is open.

Switching on the fan

5.4.5 SuperFrost

With this function you can rapidly freeze fresh

food through to the core. The appliance works

with maximum refrigerating performance. The

sound of the refrigeration unit may be tempora-

rily louder as a result.

The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can

be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating

plate under “Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”. This maximum

amount of frozen food varies according to the model and

climate rating.

Depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen you

must switch SuperFrost on in advance - for a small

amount of food to be frozen, about 6 hours, for the

maximum amount about 24 hours before putting the food

in.

Operation

12 * Depending on model and options

Package the food and place it inside across as wide an

area as possible. Do not bring food that is to be frozen

into contact with products that are already frozen to

prevent these items from starting to thaw.

You do not need to switch SuperFrost on in the following

cases:

when placing frozen food in the freezer

Freezing with SuperFrost

Briefly press the SuperFrost button

Fig. 4 (7)

The SuperFrost button lights up

frozen items. Poultry, meat, large

joints of game and tall bakery

items can be frozen and then

presented whole.

Each drawer can hold up to

55.12 lbs (25 kg) of frozen

food; each plate can hold up to

77.16 lbs (35 kg).

6 Maintenance

6.1 Defrosting with NoFrost

The NoFrost system defrosts the appliance automatically.

Fridge compartment:

The defrosted water is evaporated by the heat of the

compressor. Drops of water on the back wall are a func-

tional feature and completely normal.

Clean the drain opening regularly so that the defrosted

water can flow away (see 6.2) .

Freezer compartment:

The moisture condenses on the evaporator and is periodi-

cally defrosted and evaporated.

The appliance does not need to be defrosted manually.
