Getting to know your appliance en-us
In the event of a power failure or a fault:
■The ice pack delays the warming of stored frozen food.
You can take out the ice pack to temporarily keep food cool, e.g. in a cool bag.
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.
■ 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.

en-us Getting to know your appliance
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.
Note: If you use an external water filter system, you can also operate the appliance without a water filter.Replace the water filter with a bypass cartridge. Switch off the water filter counter. There is no need to change the bypass cartridge.
A new water filter or bypass cartridge can be obtained from customer service or a specialist dealer.
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.
When installing a bypass cartridge: switch off water filter counter.

1Operating the appliance
The appliance starts cooling and the light is switched on when the door is open.
2.Set the required temperature.
~ "Setting the temperature" on page 15
■When the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached. Do not put in any food until the selected temperature has been reached.
■The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains frost-free. Defrosting is not required.
■The front sides of the housing are partly heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
■If the freezer compartment door cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalized.
■Press the main On/Off switch. The appliance is no longer cooling.
Deterioration in water quality
The water supply must be turned off 3 hours before disconnecting. This prevents mold forming with any unused water.
If you do not use the appliance for a prolonged period:
4.Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse. The appliance is no longer cooling.
5.Empty the ice cube container and clean the appliance.

en-us Freezer compartment
WFreezer compartment
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
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.
■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.
■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.
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.
■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
■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
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.
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

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)
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.
=Defrosting
The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains frost-free. Defrosting is no longer required.
