The actual temperature is displayed about 5 seconds

w

after the last press of a button. The temperature slowly
adjusts to the new setting.

5.7.4 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 tempora­rily louder as a result.

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.

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

­when freezing up to about 2 kg of fresh food a day

drawer forward and lift it out.

5.7.6 Shelves

To remove shelf: lift it at the front and

u

pull out forward.
To reinsert shelf: simply slide it in as

u

far as it will go.

5.7.7 VarioSpace

In addition to the drawers, you
can also take out the shelves.
This gives you space for large
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

u

55.12 lbs (25 kg) of frozen
food; each plate can hold
up to 77.16 lbs (35 kg).

5.7.9 IceMaker*

The IceMaker is in the top drawer. The drawer is labeled
“IceMaker”.

Make sure that the following conditions are fulfilled:

The appliance is level.

­The appliance is connected to the electricity supply.

­The freezer compartment is switched on.

­The minimum freezer temperature is 14 °F (-10 °C).

Maintenance

The IceMaker is connected to the water supply.

­All air was bled from the waterline before starting the

­icemaker. The icemaker will only work if there is no air
in the waterline.

Switching on the IceMaker*

u

Press On/Off button

u

lights up.
Push in the drawer.

u

Note

The IceMaker only produces ice cubes when the

u

drawer is completely closed.

Producing ice cubes*

The production capacity depends on the freezer tempera­ture. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can
be produced in a certain period.

The production capacity is 90- 100 ice cubes in 24 hours
at a freezing temperature of 0 °F (-18 °C).

To have the maximum capacity of approx. 130 ice cubes
in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost Function. Be aware
that this increases the energy consumption because the
compressor will run constantly.

The ice cubes fall out of the IceMaker into the drawer.
When the ice cubes reach a certain height in the drawer,
no more ice cubes can be produced. The IceMaker will
not fill the drawer to the top.

If large quantities of ice cubes are required, the complete
IceMaker drawer can be swapped with the neighboring
drawer. When you close the drawer, the IceMaker auto­matically restarts production.

When the IceMaker is switched on for the first time, it may
take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to be produced.

Note

Particles may accumulate in the IceMaker or water line
the first time the appliance is used or after an extended
period out of service.

To achieve this, do not consume or use the ice cubes

u

that are produced within 24 hours.

Switching off the IceMaker*

If ice cubes are not required, the IceMaker can be
switched off independently of the freezer compartment.

When the IceMaker is switched off, the drawer of the
IceMaker can also be used for freezing and storing food.

Press the On/Off button for about 1 second until the

u

LED goes out.
Clean the IceMaker.
