Page 10
en
Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
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 the chill zones
in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■ Coldest zone is between the arrow
stamped on the side and the glass
shelf situated below. Fig. $
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■ 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.
Vegetable container with
humidity controller
Fig. %
The vegetable container is the optimum
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. A humidity controller and
a special seal can be used to adjust the
air humidity in the vegetable container.
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
– lower air humidity
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for
a mixed load or small load – 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 to +12 °C for
optimum preservation of quality and
flavour.
32
Page 11
en
■ Condensation may form in the
vegetable container depending on the
type and quantity of products stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth
and adjust air humidity in the
vegetable container with the humidity
controller.
Super cooling
Super cooling sets the refrigerator
temperature to the coldest temperature
setting for approx. 15 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.
Note
When super cooling is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.

Appliance self-test
Your appliance features an automatic
self-test program which shows you
sources of faults which may be repaired
by customer service only.
Starting the appliance self-test
1. Switch off the appliance and wait
5 minutes.
2. Switch the appliance on.
3. Press alarm button, Fig. "/5,
to switch off the warning signal.
If there is no warning signal, this step
is not applicable.
4. Within the first 10 seconds after
switching on the appliance, hold down
the super button, Fig. "/2, for 3 to 5
seconds until an acoustic signal
sounds.
The self-test programme starts. While
the self-test is running, a long acoustic
signal sounds.
When the self-test ends and an acoustic
signal sounds twice, your appliance is
in working order.
If the super button flashes for
10 seconds and 5 acoustic signals
sound, there is a fault. Inform customer
service.
