5.6 Thawing food
5.8 SuperFrost
With this function you can freeze fresh food quickly
through to the core. The appliance operates with
maximum refrigeration. The noise of the refrigeration
unit may be temporarily louder as a result.
The maximum amount of fresh food which can be frozen in 24
h is indicated on the type plate under “freezing capacity ... kg/
24h”. This amount varies according to the model and climate
rating.
You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on
how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before
placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about 24
hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food to be
frozen.
Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not
allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already
frozen to prevent the latter thawing.
You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases:
when placing frozen food in the freezer
-

5.9 Drawers
Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling performance decreases if there is insufficient ventilation.
For appliances with NoFrost:
Leave the bottom drawer in the appliance!
u
Always keep the air slits of the fan free at the rear wall!
u
To store frozen food directly on the shelves: pull the drawer
u
forwards and lift it out.
5.10 Shelves
To remove the shelf: lift up at the front
u
and pull out.
To put the shelf back: simply push in as
u
far as it will go.
5.13.1 Using the special drawer for herbs and berries
Spread the items out loosely
u
in the special drawer for herbs
and berries.
Allow the food to freeze
u
through for 10 to 12 h.
Transfer the frozen food to
u
freezer bags or containers.
Store freezer bags or containers in a drawer.
u
To thaw the items, spead them out loosely again.
u
5.14 Cold storage accumulators*
The cold storage accumulators prevent the temperature from
rising too fast in the event of power failure.
5.14.1 Using cold storage accumulators*
Place the cold storage accu-
u
mulators in the special drawer
for herbs and berries to save
space.
Place the frozen cold storage
u
accumulators on the frozen
food in the upper front area of
the freezer compartment.
5.11 VarioSpace
Apart from being able to remove the
drawers, you can also remove the
shelves, creating space for large
items of frozen food. Poultry, meat,
large pieces of game and high
bakery products can be frozen in
one piece and prepared.
The maximum load of frozen food
u
for the drawers is 25 kg each and
for the shelves 35 kg each.

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
SuperFrost 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 regularly every 15 seconds*.
The inverter is equipped with a diagnostic LED.
→
The flashing is normal.
u
Excessive noise.
Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated*
→
compressors can generate different running noises.
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-
→
Frost, 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
The ambient temperature is too high.
→
Solution: (see 1.2)
u
Vibratory noise.
The appliance is not fixed to the ground. The running of the
→
