compartment
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.
The temperature can be set from +2 °C ... +8 °C.
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected temperature, the slower the enzymatic and chemical processes and deterioration by microorganisms. A temperature of +4 °C or lower ensures optimum freshness and safety of the stored foods.
Note when storing food
Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of ready products and
bottled goods do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-by-date indicated by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, colour
and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing it in the appliance. This avoids transference of flavours and discolouration of the plastic parts.
Leave warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the refrigerator compartment.
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the shelf underneath.
~ Fig. *
Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausages and meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and
butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable container with humidity control
~ Fig. + The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. You can adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container via the humidity controller and a special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored twice as long as with conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of products to be stored:
Mainly fruit as well as for a large
load – set lower air humidity
Mainly vegetables as well as for
a mixed load or small load – set higher air humidity
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 – +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.
Condensation may form in the
vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.
W Freezer compartment
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
storing frozen food
making ice cubes
freezing food
The temperature can be set from –16 °C ... –24 °C.
The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable foods long-term almost without any noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures considerably slow down or stop deterioration. Appearance, flavour and all valuable ingredients are largely retained.
Long-term storage of food should be at –18 °C or lower.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer compartment and it freezing solid depends on the following factors:
set temperature
type of food
amount of food in the freezer
compartment
quantity and type of storage
Maximum freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity indicates the quantity of food which can be frozen solid within 24 hours.
Information on the max. freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate.
To use the maximum freezer capacity, switch on Super freeze 24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer compartment.
15
Page 16
en Freezer compartment
Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity
1. Approx. 24 hours before inserting
fresh produce: switch on Super freeze.
~ "Super freezing" on page 13
2. Take the container out of the freezer
compartment and stack the food directly on the shelves and on the floor of the freezer compartment.
3. First fill the upper compartment with
food. This is where the food will freeze most quickly.
4. If the top compartment is
inadequate, store the remaining quantity in the compartment underneath starting at the front right side.
5. Freeze fresh food as close as
possible to the side panels.
Fully utilising the freezer volume
To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the freezer compartment:
remove all fittings.
Store food directly on the shelves
and on the floor of the freezer compartment.
Purchasing frozen food
Ensure the packaging is not
damaged.
Do not exceed the minimum sell-by
date.
The temperature in the supermarket
freezer must be –18 °C or lower.
If possible, transport frozen food in a
cool bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.
Note when loading products
Freeze large quantities of food in the
top compartment. This is where the food will freeze especially quickly and gently.
Distribute food in the compartments
or frozen food containers.
Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen food. If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food containers.
Important for unrestricted air
circulation in the appliance: push in frozen food container all the way.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food. Food which is boiled, fried or baked is
more suitable for freezing than food which is raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour:
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
Information on how to do this can be found in the relevant literature.
Suitable for freezing
Baked goods
Fish and seafood
Meat
Poultry and game
Vegetables, fruit and herbs
Eggs without shells
Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter
and quark
Ready meals and leftovers, e.g.

en Defrosting
= Defrosting
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
While the refrigerating unit is running, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel. This is due to functional reasons. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation droplets or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation drains off into the condensation channel.
~ Fig. , The condensation runs from the
condensation channel to the evaporation pan where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel
and drainage hole clean so that the condensation can drain and odours do not form.
Freezer compartment
The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. Defrosting is no longer required.
