The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy

consumption. Sort your food: home.liebherr.com/food.

Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents

frost from forming. Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it

doesn’t warm up too much. Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temper‐

ature first. Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator.

If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost

the appliance. Dust deposits increase energy consump‐ tion:

For refrigerators with heat exchangers

5 Control

5.1 Refrigerator compartment

The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compart‐ ment results in zones differing in temperature. 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.

8 * Depending on model and options

Page 9

Control

5.1.1 Refrigerating food

Store perishable foods such as ready-to-eat meals, meat and sausages in the coldest area. Place butter and preserves in the top area and in the door. (see 1 Appli‐ ance at a glance)

Use reuseable plastic, metal, aluminium, glass containers and foil wrap to store food.

Always store raw meat and fish in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, to prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.

Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste, as well as liquids, should be stored in sealed containers or covered.

Use the front area of the base shelf only to tempora‐ rily set down refrigerated foods, for example while rear‐ ranging or sorting the contents. Remember not to leave refrigerated foods here as they could shift to the back or tip over when you close the door.

Do not pack foods too closely together, as the air needs to circulate.

5.1.2 Setting the temperature

The temperature is adjustable clockwise between “off” and “max cold” (coldest temperature, greatest cooling capacity).

We recommend the middle control position, which ensures an average cold room temperature of approx. 5°C.

An average temperature of about –18 °C is then set in the freezing compartment.

If frozen food is being stored and low freezing temperatures are to be ensured, it is recommended to adjust the tempera‐ ture control setting from the middle position to “max cold” . The “max cold” setting allows the coldest zone in the refrig‐ erator to reach temperatures below 0°C.

Turn temperature control Fig.3(1).

The temperature depends on the following factors:

- How often the door is opened

- How long the door is open for

- The room temperature of the installation site

- The type, temperature and amount of frozen items

If necessary, adjust the temperature with the control.

5.1.3 SuperCool function

This function ensures low temperatures in the freezer compartment.

Activating SuperCool function

At room temperatures of 15 °C or below, SuperCool is automatically activated. When SuperCool is activated, the SuperCool button lights up.

If you want to achieve lower temperatures in the freezer compartment, then you can also activate SuperCool manually:

Press the SuperCool (see Fig.3) button.

The SuperCool button lights up.

Deactivating SuperCool function

SuperCool is automatically deactivated at room tempera‐ tures of more than 15 °C. When SuperCool is deactivated, the SuperCool button does not light up.

If you have activated SuperCool manually, then SuperCool is automatically deactivated after 70 hours. However, you can also deactivate SuperCool manually at any time:

Press and hold the SuperCool (see Fig. 3) button for 3seconds.

Note

At room temperatures of more than 15 °C, SuperCool is activated automatically if SuperCool has not been activated before. When SuperCool is automatically activated, the SuperCool button lights up. If SuperCool has been activated automatically, the function cannot be deactivated manually.

Maintenance

Risk of injury due to broken glass! Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks.

So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do not exceed the following quantities per pack

- Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg

- Meat up to 2.5 kg

CAUTION

Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!

24 hours before freezing food, set the temperature to a mid to cold position Switching SuperCool on: (see Activating SuperCool func‐ tion) . The freezer temperature will drop, and the appliance will operate at the maximum refrigerating capacity.

Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic, metal or aluminium containers Spread the food out in the bottom drawer and on the compartment bottom, and do not allow it to come into contact with food that is already frozen, to prevent this defrosting. Reset the temperature controller 24 hours after inserting the food. Reset the temperature 24 hours after storing the food. When the room temperature is higher than 15°C: SuperCool is deactivated automatically after 70 hours. However, you can also deactivate SuperCool manually at any time (see Deactivating SuperCool function) . Press and hold the SuperCool (see Fig. 3) button for 3seconds.

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosted water is evaporated by the heat of the compressor. Water drops or a thin layer of frost or ice can form on the back wall; this is a completely normal part of the machine’s function.

Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow away (see6.2Cleaning the appliance) .

Freezer compartment: A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compart‐

ment 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 appli‐ ance regularly.
