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.
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.

Maintenance
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
u
food for the drawers is 25 kg
each and for the shelves
35 kg each.
5.12 Drawer for herbs and berries
In the drawer for herbs and berries you can freeze, berries,
herbs, vegetables and other small items of food without them
sticking together. Items being frozen will largely retain their
shape, and it will be easier to remove exactly the right quantity
later on.
5.12.1 Using the special drawer for herbs and berries
Spread the items out loosely
u
on the freezer tray.
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
5.13 Cold storage accumulators
The cold storage accumulators prevent the temperature from
rising too fast in the event of power failure.
5.13.1 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.

7 Malfunctions
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:
