5.5 Fridge compartment

The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compart­ment results in zones with differing temperatures. 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.

5.5.1 Refrigerating food

WARNING
Danger of fire
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
u
compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Note
Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy consumption and reduction of the refrigerating perform­ance.
Never block the air slits in the fan.
u
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass
u
containers and cling film to wrap foods. Always use closed containers for liquids and for food
u
that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them. Foods which give off a large amount of ethylene gas
u
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; for example, do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.
For appliances 47-15/16 '' (1218 mm) and higher:
Operation
Use the front floor area of the fridge compartment only
u
to set down food to be refrigerated temporarily, 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. Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient
u
air circulation.

5.5.2 Setting the temperature

The temperature depends on the following factors:
the number of times the door is opened
­the room temperature of the installation location
­the type, temperature and amount of food.
-
The temperature can be set from 34 °F (1 °C) to 48 °F (9 °C), 41 °F (5 °C) is recommended.
The average temperature in the freezer compartment is approximately 0 °F (-18 °C).
To set a higher temperature: press the Up button

Maintenance

5.6.1 Freezing food

A maximum of 2 kg of fresh food can be frozen per 24­hour period.
WARNING
Danger of fire
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
u
compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
There is a risk of injury from pieces of broken glass. Bottles and cans containing drinks can split or crack when frozen. This applies in particular to carbonated drinks.
Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks.
u
4 hours before freezing food, set the temperature to
u
41 °F (5 °C) or colder.
So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do not exceed the following quantities per pack:
- fruit, vegetables up to 2.2 lb (1 kg)
- meat up to 5.51 lbs (2.5 kg) Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable
u
plastic, metal or aluminum containers. Spread the food out on the floor of the compartment

The different speed levels of speed­controlled* compressors can cause them to generate various noises during operation.
This sound comes from the refrig­erant flowing in the refrigeration circuit.
The sound always occurs when the refrigeration unit (the motor) automat­ically switches on or off.
The refrigeration increases automati­cally when the SuperCool function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while.
The ambient temperature is too high.
The appliance is not standing firmly on the floor. As a result, objects and adjoining units are set into vibration by the running refrigeration unit.
These noises are normal.
