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
■ Ice cube production stops automatically when the
ice cube container is full.
■ When using the appliance for the first time,
discard ice cubes produced within the first
24 hours for hygiene reasons.
■ If you have stopped ice cube production for
several days, discard the first 30-40 ice cubes
produced for hygiene reasons.
Exchange water filter or replace with bypass cartridge
You can change the water filter, or replace it with a
bypass cartridge. The bypass cartridge can remain
in the appliance permanently: it does not need to be
changed.
Note: After installing a water filter or a bypass cartridge, discard all ice cubes produced over the first 24 hours.
1. Turn the cap of the water filter counter-clockwise.
2. Take the water filter out.
3. Remove the protective cap of the new water filter
or the new bypass cartridge.
4. Take off the cap of the used water filter and put it
on the new water filter or bypass cartridge.
5. Slide the new water filter or bypass cartridge to
the stop in the filter opening.
Note: The cap must be vertical here.
6. Turn the water filter or bypass cartridge clockwise
to the mark.
Note: If you do not turn the water filter or bypass
cartridge far enough, damage will be caused by
escaping water.

or cover food well before placing it into the
appliance.
This will prevent flavors being transferred
between foods and the plastic parts from
becoming discolored.
■ Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing them into the refrigerator compartment.
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones.
Vegetable container with humidity controller
The vegetable container is the optimum storage
location for fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust
the humidity in the vegetable container via the
humidity controller and a special seal. This allows
fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored up to twice as
long as with conventional storage.
The humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and quantity of products to be
stored:
■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower
humidity with controller position FRUIT
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small
load – set higher humidity with controller position
VEGETABLES
Notes
■ For optimum preservation of quality and flavor
store fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,
banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables
sensitive to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers,
zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes)
outside of the appliance at temperatures of
approx. +46 °F (+8 °C) ... +54 °F (+12 °C).
■ Condensation may form in the vegetable
container depending on the type and quantity of
products stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust
the humidity in the vegetable container with the
humidity controller.
Chill compartment
The chill compartment has lower temperatures than
the refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below
+32 °F (0 °C) may occur.
Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable
for salads, vegetables and groceries sensitive to
cold.
The temperature of the chill compartment can be
varied using the ventilation opening. Push the
temperature controller down to make the
temperature lower. Push the temperature controller
up to make the temperature higher.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the interior at the back panel
and in the chill compartment.
Note: Store delicate 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
aroma and the butter will still be easy to spread.

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 the frozen food container (small).
■ Store the frozen food in the frozen food container
(large).
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

en-us Defrosting
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
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
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)
■ 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.
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)
Fish, sausage, ready meals, and cakes
up to 6 months
and pastries:
Meat, poultry: up to 8 months
Vegetables, fruit: up to 12 months
