Ice maker
9 CAUTION!
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE!
Never store bottles or food in the ice cube
container, even for short periods. This can
block and damage the ice maker.
Ice cube production starts as soon as the appliance
has reached the set temperature.
Notes
■ Discard the first 30-40 ice cubes for hygiene
reasons.
■ Ice cube production stops automatically when the
ice cube container is full.
Information about switching ice cube production on
and off
~ "Switching ice cube production on or off"
on page 13
Ice pack
In the event of a power failure or a fault:
■ The ice pack delays the warming of stored frozen
food.
Changing the water filter or replacing with a particle filter
You can change the water filter, or replace it with a
particle filter. The particle filter can remain in the
appliance permanently: it does not need to be
changed.
Note: After installing a water or particle filter, discard all ice cubes produced over the first 24 hours.
1. Turn the cap of the water filter counterclockwise.
2. Take the water filter out.
3. Remove the protective cap from the new filter.
4. Take off the cap of the old water filter and put it
on the new water or particle filter.
5. Slide the new water or particle filter to the stop in
the filter opening.
Note: The cap must be horizontal here.
6. Turn the water or particle filter clockwise to the
marking.
Note: If the water or particle filter is not turned far
enough, damage will be caused by water leaking
out.
Note: The longest storage time is obtained by placing the ice pack on the food in the top compartment.
You can take out the ice pack to temporarily keep
food cool, e.g. in a cool bag.
Water filter
Change the water filter after 6 months at the latest.
If the ice tastes stale, discard the rest of the ice
cubes and the ones produced over the next
24 hours. If the ice still tastes stale, change the
water filter.
A new water or particle filter can be obtained from
customer service or a specialist dealer.
Note: You can also use the appliance without a water filter. Replace the water filter with a particle filter and switch the water filter counter off. There is no need to change the particle filter.
7. When using a water filter: Reset water filter
counter.
When using a particle filter: Switch off water filter
counter.
8. Discard the ice cubes produced over the first
24 hours.
9. Drain the water out of the old water filter.
Note: You can dispose of the old water filter with
your household garbage.

Freezer compartment en-us
WFreezer compartment
Freez er compar t ment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
■ storing frozen food
■ making ice cubes
■ freezing food
The temperature can be set from -11 °F (24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °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, flavor and all valuable
ingredients are largely retained.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer
compartment and it freezing solid depends on the
following factors:
■ temperature set
■ type of food
■ amount of food in the freezer compartment
■ quantity and type of storage
Fully utilizing 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.
■ Check there is a sell-by date.
■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must
be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.
■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,
transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in
the freezer compartment quickly.
When loading products
■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top
compartment.
This is where it 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 containers up to the limit
stop.
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 eaten raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate
to the food in order to retain the best possible
nutritional value, flavor and color:
■ 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
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. soups, stews,
cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and
desserts
Not suitable for freezing
■ Types of vegetables which are usually eaten raw,
e.g. lettuce or radishes
■ Unpeeled or hard-boiled eggs
■ Grapes
■ Whole apples, pears and peaches
■ Yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, creme fraiche
and mayonnaise

en-us Defrosting
Packing frozen food
The correct type of packaging and material selection
are decisive factors in the retention of the product
quality and prevent the development of freezer burn.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor
or drying out.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of
freezing.
Suitable packaging:
■ Plastic foil
■ Tubular foil made of polyethylene (PE)
■ Aluminum foil
■ Freezer containers
Suitable closures:
■ Rubber bands
■ Plastic clips
■ Cold-resistant adhesive tape
Unsuitable packaging:
■ Wrapping paper
■ Greaseproof paper
■ Cellophane
■ Garbage bags and used grocery bags
Shelf life of frozen food at 0 °F (-18 °C)
Thawing frozen food
The thawing method must be adjusted to the food
and application in order to retain the best possible
product quality.
Thawing methods:
■ in the refrigerator compartment (especially
suitable for animal-based foods such as fish,
meat, cheese, quark)
■ at room temperature (bread)
■ in the microwave (food for immediate
consumption or immediate preparation)
■ in the oven/cooker (food for immediate
consumption or immediate preparation)
9 CAUTION!
Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed
food. You can only refreeze food once it has
been cooked (boiled or fried).
The frozen food can no longer be stored for the
maximum duration.
