1.4 Conformity

The refrigerant circuit has been tested for leaks. When installed, the appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and the safety standards CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-1-11, 60335-2-24-06 and UL 60335-1, UL 60335-2-24.

BioFresh meets EN ISO 8561 requirements for a chill compartment.

1.5 Energy saving

Always ensure good ventilation. Do not obstruct ventila-

tion openings or grilles. Never block air slits in the fan.

Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to

an oven, heater, or similar heat source. Energy consumption depends on installation conditions

such as the ambient temperature (see 1.3) . If the ambient temperature differs from the standard temperature of 25 °C, energy consumption can change. Avoid opening the appliance door for any longer then

necessary

* Depending on model and options 3

General safety information

The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy

consumption. Store food logically (see The appliance at a glance).

All food stored in the appliance should be well wrapped

and covered. This prevents frost buildup. Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it

does not get too warm. Insertion of warm foods: first let the food cool down to

room temperature. Defrost frozen food in the fridge

Use the vacation feature if you intend to be away for an

extended period.

5.3 Door alarm

For the fridge/Biofresh compartment and freezer compartment If the door is open for longer than 180 seconds, the acoustic warning sounds.

The acoustic warning stops automatically when the door is closed

5.3.1 Switching off the door alarm

Hot fresh food was placed in the appliance.

When sorting and removing food from the appliance,

too much warm ambient air got in. The power was cut off for a while.

The appliance is faulty.

The audible warning automatically ceases, the Alarm symbol stops flashing when the temperature is cold enough again.

If the alarm status remains: (see Troubleshooting).

5.5 Sabbath Mode

This function meets the religious requirements on the Sabbath and Jewish festivals. When the appliance is in Sabbath mode some control electronic functions are switched off. After setting Sabbath mode you no longer need to worry about indicator lights, figures, symbols, displays, alarm messages and fans. The thawing cycle only operates at the specified time without taking refrigerator use into account. After a power cut the appliance automatically switches on again in Sabbath mode.

WARNING

Danger of food poisoning! No record will be kept of a power failure during Sabbath Mode. Thus, during Sabbath mode, if a power failure occurs that you are not aware of, when the power comes back on, the unit will continue to be in Sabbath Mode but when Sabbath Mode is ended there will be no indication that a power failure occurred. If a power failure occurs during Sabbath mode:

Check the quality of the food. Do not consume spoiled

food!

All functions are blocked until Sabbath mode is

switched off. If the unit is currently running in a mode such as Super-

frost, Supercool or the Ventilation is enabled these functions will continue and finish their timed cycles independent of now being in Sabbath mode. The Ice Maker is disabled.

No audible signals are emitted, and the temperature

display does not indicate any warnings or settings (such as a temperature alarm or door alarm). Light does not operate.

5.5.1 Setting Sabbath mode

5.6 Fridge compartment

The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in zones differing in temperature. It is coldest directly above the plate separating off the BioFresh zone and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment and in the door.

5.6.1 Refrigerating food

Note

Do not load the door with more than 35 lbs (16 kg) of

food.

5.6.2 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 48 °F (9 °C) to 37 °F (3 °C), 39 °F (5 °C) is recommended.

Note

If a temperature below 37 °F (3 °C) is required:

Set the cooling temperature to 37 °F (3 °C).

u u

Set the bio-fresh temperature to a value between b4 (slightly colder) and b1 (coldest). (see 5.7)

To set a higher temperature: press the Fridge compart-

ment Up button To set a lower temperature: press the Fridge compart-

ment Down button When pressed once the previously set fridge compart-

ment temperature display value will flash. To change the temperature in 1 °F (1 °C) increments:

briefly press the button. To change the temperature continuously: hold the

button down. The value is displayed flashing during the setting oper-

ation. The actual temperature is displayed about 5 seconds

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

Fig. 3 (3)

Fig. 3 (4)

WARNING

Danger of fire

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage

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.

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass

containers and cling film to wrap foods. Always use closed containers for liquids and for food

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

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. Use the front floor area of the fridge compartment only

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

air circulation.

5.6.3 SuperCool

With SuperCool you switch to the highest cooling performance to reach lower cooling temperatures. Use SuperCool to rapidly cool large quantities of food.

SuperCool will use more energy than normal operation.

Cooling with SuperCool

Briefly press the SuperCool button

The SuperCool symbol

The cooling temperature drops to the coldest value.

SuperCool is switched on. SuperCool switches itself off automatically after 12

hours. The appliance continues to work in normal energy-saving mode.

To prematurely switch off SuperCool

Briefly press the SuperCool button
