may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer, or
cover them.

u

Foods which give off a large amount of ethylene gas and
those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegeta­bles and salad, should always be separated or wrapped
so as not to reduce the storage life; e.g. do not storage
tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.

u

Use the front floor area of the fridge compartment only to
temporarily to set down food to be refrigerated, e. g. when
rearranging or sorting the contents of the fridge. Do not
leave the food there, as it may be pushed back or tipped
over when the door is closed.

Note

Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy con­sumption and reduction of the refrigerating performance.
For appliances with NoFrost:

u

Leave the bottom drawer in the appliance.

u

Never block the air slits in the fan on the rear wall.

u

To store frozen food directly on the shelves: pull the
drawer forward and lift it out.

5.8.4 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.

The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can
be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating
plate under "Freezing capacity ... kg/24h". This maximum
amount of frozen food varies according to the model and
climate rating.

Freezing with SuperFrost

Note

u

Do not consume or use the first three batches of ice
cubes. This applies both to using the appliance for the
first time and using it when it has not been used for a long
time. This ensures that the water pipe is rinsed through.

6 Maintenance

6.1 Defrosting with NoFrost

The NoFrost system defrosts the appliance automatically.

Fridge compartment:

The defrosted water is evaporated by the heat of the com­pressor. Drops of water on the back wall are a functional
feature and completely normal.

u

Clean the drain opening regularly so that the defrosted
water can flow away. (see Cleaning section).

Freezer compartment:

The moisture condenses on the evaporator and is periodi­cally defrosted and evaporated.

u

The appliance does not have to be defrosted manually.

6.2 Cleaning the appliance

Before cleaning:

WARNING

Danger of electric shock.

u

First, remove the plug or switch off the fuse.

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 not in operation, clean the IceMaker.
This ensures that no water or ice remains in the IceMaker.

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

u

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

goes out.

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 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.

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.

CAUTION

Risk of injury or damage due to hot steam.
Hot steam can damage the surfaces and cause burns.

u

Do not use steam cleaners.

NOTICE

Incorrect cleaning damages the appliance.

u

Do not use concentrated cleaning agents.
