Operating tips

■ After the appliance has been switched

on, it may take several hours until the set temperature has been reached.

Do not put any food in the appliance beforehand.

■ The front sides of the housing are

partly heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.

Setting the temperature

Fig. "

Refrigerator compartment

The temperature can be set from +2 °C to +8 °C.

Keep pressing temperature setting button on refrigerator compartment 3, until the required refrigerator compartment temperature is set.

The value last selected is saved. The set temperature is indicated on the temperature display for the refrigerator compartment 4.

Cool-fresh compartment

The temperature in the “cool-fresh” compartment has been set to almost 0 °C at the factory and should not be changed if at all possible.

If frost forms on the refrigerated food, the temperature can be increased. (See chapter “Eliminating minor faults yourself”.)

Super cooling

Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode.

Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.

■ before placing large quantities of food

in the refrigerator compartment.

■ for the fast cooling of drinks.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. -

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk and hard cheese.

Storing food

■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The

quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.

■ In the case of ready-made products

and bottled goods, observe the bestbefore date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

■ To retain aroma, colour

and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.

■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool

down before placing in the appliance.

Note

Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.

Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:

■ The coldest zones are on the rear

panel and in the delicatessen containers. Fig. #

■ Warmest zone is at the very top

of the door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

The “cool-fresh” compartment

The temperature in the fridge is about 0 °C. The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.

Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer in the “cool-fresh” compartment than in the normal cooling zone – for even longer freshness, nutrient retention and flavour.

“Cool-fresh” container

Fig. !/17 The storage climate in the “cool-fresh”

container offers ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat, sausage, cheese and milk.

Page 11

Humidity container

Fig. !/19 The humidity container is covered with

a special filter which optimises retention of the air humidity in the storage compartment. As a result, there is up to 95 % air humidity in the humidity container, depending on the amount of products put in. This storage climate offers ideal conditions for fresh fruit, salad greens, vegetables, herbs or mushrooms.

Notes

■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,

banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.

■ Condensation may form in the

humidity container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth.

Foods suitable for “cool-fresh” container:

In the “cool-fresh” container:

Fig. !/17

■ Fish, seafood, meat, sausage, dairy

products, ready meals.

In the humidity container:

Fig. !/19

Defrosting

Refrigerator and “cool-fresh” compartments

While the appliance is running, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel of the refrigerator compartment. As the rear panel defrosts automatically, it is not necessary to remove the frost or the condensation droplets. The condensation runs through the condensation channel and the drainage hole to the evaporation pan where it evaporates.

Note

Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so the condensation can drain off. Fig. (

Page 13
