• keep the temperature evenly distributed
throughout the entire refrigerator compartment.
The air will circulate more intensively, keeping
all the different areas in the compartment at the
same temperature and ensuring all the food
inside is chilled at the same temperature.
We recommended you use the ventilation fan if:
• room temperatures are too high (approximately
95°F [35°C] or higher).
• the air humidity is high, during high heat and

sealed and stored upright.
• Fruit, vegetables and salad can be stored
unpacked in the bins.
Shelf Arrangement
WARNING
!
To avoid possible injury, only adjust an
empty shelf. Do not attempt to adjust a
shelf with food on it.
You can rearrange the height of the shelves and
door racks as required.
IMPORTANT
The shorter storage shelf (5) must always
be inserted and adjusted to the height of
the gallon shelf to prevent interference
with the gallon shelf on the door, when the
door is closed. The beverage rack can be
installed anywhere except on the bottom (the
beverage rack uses the same supports as
the other shelves). The top storage shelf*,
without the guard bar at the back, must
always be inserted in the uppermost position;
it will not fit in any other location. The design
of the glass shelves’ prevents the shelves
from being pulled out accidentally.

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.
Freezing with SuperFrost - Figure 1
• Press the SuperFrost button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly
so the SuperFrost button is lit. The SuperFrost
function will be activated as long as the button
is lit. 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 maximum 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 drawers. 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.
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.

Freezer Tray* - Figure 9
The freezer tray allows individual freezing of
berries, herbs, vegetables and other small goods. It
prevents foods from freezing together.
• 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 65 hours.
The freezing process is now complete; the
SuperFrost button will no longer be lit, and the
freezer will change back to normal energysaving 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.
Items being frozen will retain more of their shape,
and it will be easier to remove exactly the right
quantity later for use.
1. Spread the items out loosely on the tray.
2. Suspend the freezer tray in one of the top
drawers. Freeze for 10 to 12 hours, then transfer
to a freezer bag or container and place in a
drawer.
3.To defrost, spread the frozen items out loosely.

Freezing and Storage
Do Not Freeze:
Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears,
and fatty meat.
• 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).
- Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked
when partially thawed.
- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen ( in
half the normal time).
Storage - Figure 12
Each drawer and shelf can take up to 55 lbs
(25 kg) of frozen food.
By removing a drawer and a shelf you can create
a double height space for big items of frozen food.
This allows you to freeze things like poultry, large
pieces of meat or large cakes without first having
to cut them up, so they can be served “whole”
afterwards.
If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you
can remove the drawers and store items directly on
the shelves.
• Always leave the bottom drawer in the
appliance.
If you removed the top drawer, do not cover the fan
openings at the back, otherwise the freezer will not
work properly.
• 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.

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.
