5.2 Refrigerator compartment

The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment 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.

5.2.1 Food refrigeration

Note*
The energy consumption increases and the cooling perform­ance decreases if the ventilation is inadequate.
Always keep the air slits of the fan free.
u
Control
Store perishable food such as ready-to-serve dishes, meat
u
products and sausages in the coldest zone. Place butter and preserves in the upper area and in the door (see Appli­ance at a glance). Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminium and glass
u
containers and cling film for wrapping. Always store liquids and food which is subject to odour or
u
taste transfer in closed containers or cover them. Foods which give off a large amount of ethylene gas and
u
delicate foods, such as fruit, vegetables, salad, should always be stored separately or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; e.g. do not store tomatoes together with kiwis or cabbage.
for appliances from 1218 mm in height, the following applies:
Use the front area of the refrigerator compartment floor only
u
for briefly putting down cooled products, e.g. when rear­ranging and sorting. However do not leave cooled products there otherwise they may be pushed back or tipped over when the door is closed. Do not store food too close together to enable good air
u
circulation.

5.2.2 Setting the temperature

The temperature depends on the following factors:
the frequency of opening the door
-
the room temperature of the installation location
-
the type, temperature and quantity of the food
-
Recommended temperature setting: 5 °C An average temperature of approx. –18 °C is then established
in the freezer compartment.* The temperature can be adjusted continually. Once the setting
1 °C is reached, the cycle is begun again at 9 °C.

5.3 Freezer compartment*

You can store frozen food for several months, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment at a tempera­ture of -18 °C and lower.
The air temperature in the compartment, measured by ther­mometer or other instruments, may fluctuate.

5.3.1 Freezing food*

2 kg fresh food/24 h is the maximum weight which can be frozen.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to broken glass! Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks.
Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!
u
4 h before freezing food, set the temperature to 5 °C or
u
colder.
In order 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 Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic,
u
metal or aluminium containers. Spread the food over the shelf. Do not allow it to contact and
u
thaw items that are already frozen. Set the temperature back again 24 h after placing the food
u

as quickly as possible. Food once thawed should be re-frozen only in exceptional
u
cases.

6 Maintenance

6.1 Defrosting

6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The water evaporates. Drops of water on the rear wall are function­ally conditioned and perfectly normal.
Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost
u
water to drain (see 6.2) .

6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment*

A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly if the door is opened frequently 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 off the appliance.
u
The temperature display goes out.
w
If the temperature display does not go out, the child-proofing
w
function (see 5.1) is active. Pull out the plug.
u
Wrap the frozen food in newspaper or blankets and store in
u
a cool place. Leave the compartment and appliance door open during
u
defrosting. Remove detached pieces of ice.
u
Maintenance
Pay attention that the defrost water does not run into the
u
kitchen unit. If necessary, pick up defrost water several times, using a
u
sponge or cloth. Clean the compartment (see 6.2) .

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
SuperCool 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 repeatedly every 5 seconds*.
There is a fault.
Please contact the after sales service. (see Maintenance).
u
Excessive noise.
Speed-controlled* compressors may produce varying
running noise due to different speed steps. 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 Super-
Cool 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
