5.1 Brief description of the appliance functions
MonoFridge
In the MonoFridge mode, the freezer compartment is operated as a second refrigerator
compartment with a setting range of 2–6°C. Prior to activating the MonoFridge, relocate
food and food items that by changing the operating mode can be spoiled through freezing or defrosting. It takes several hours to reach the newly set temperature. Leave the
door of the second refrigerator compartment closed during this time. For the second refrigerator compartment, the fast freezing function changes to fast cooling.
SilentPlus
This operating mode is designed to produce low noise emissions. Energy efficiency may
be slightly reduced. Since the appliance is noise-optimized during normal operation, the
effect of SilentPlus is particularly perceptible at higher ambient temperatures. SilentPlus
is temporarily interrupted for the duration of PartyCooling and fast cooling/fast freezing.
PartyCooling
PartyCooling temporarily provides generally increased cooling capacity whereby the temperature of the refrigerator compartment is lowered to the coldest value. This also applies to the second refrigerator compartment when in the MonoFridge mode. The appliance can thus react better to the effect of opening the doors frequently and storing warm
food. For application reasons, the noise emissions and energy consumption of the appliance are raised. PartyCooling can be set to run 12, 24 or 48 hours. For application reasons, SilentPlus is interrupted for the duration.
17
Page 18
5 Using the appliance functions
Fast cooling/fast freezing
The fast cooling and fast freezing functions allow larger quantities of food, e.g. after a
shopping trip or freezing pre-cooked meals, to be cooled more quickly. The temperature
of the refrigerating zone is lowered to the coldest value for 24 hours and similarly the
temperature of the freezing zone is lowered to the coldest value for 54 hours. For application reasons, the SilentPlus function is interrupted for the duration. During fast cooling/
fast freezing, the appliance operates at higher power, which increases the noise level
above the normal operating noise level. Both functions switch off automatically. The fast
freezing function is turned off when the MonoFridge mode is activated and can be reactivated as fast cooling in the second refrigerator compartment for 24 hours. To prevent
food that is already being stored from warming up: activate fast cooling/fast freezing several hours beforehand (e.g. before going shopping).
To achieve maximum freezing capacity, the following must be observed: If freezing the
maximum quantity of food (see the identification plate), the bottom freezer compartment
drawer must be removed and fast freezing activated at least 24hours before storing the
fresh food (pre-freezing). Distribute any frozen food already in it between the upper
freezer compartment drawers and place the two cold accumulators supplied in the
empty space. Distribute the food to be frozen evenly on the freezer compartment floor
and place the cold accumulators on top. Do not place any more food for freezing in the
freezer compartment for the next 24 hours during the freezing process.
When a smaller quantity of food is to be frozen, the pre-freezing time may be
shortened.
Fast freezing does not need to be activated if storing food that is already frozen or
if freezing no more than 1.5 kg of fresh food a day.
Holiday function
With the holiday function, only the freezer compartment is operated at the selected set
temperature. For hygiene reasons, the refrigerator compartment operates at a temperature of about 14°C. Close the refrigerator compartment door. The holiday function is not
intended to be used for the purpose of storing food in the refrigerator compartment.
Sabbath mode
When the Sabbath mode is activated, all visual and acoustic warnings, as well as operating and display elements are turned off for the selected duration (30, 54 or 78 hours).
Opening the appliance door will not affect the illumination nor the behaviour of the appliance. The illumination in the refrigerator compartment can be automatically activated if
the ambient temperature is low. Any timer running when the Sabbath mode is activated is ended, no acoustic signal is emitted.
The appliance doors must be closed firmly as the visual and acoustic warnings are
turned off!
When the Sabbath mode is activated, no error messages are displayed and no
warnings are given. In certain circumstances, the appliance switches to the emergency mode or cannot maintain the refrigerating temperatures for other reasons.
Check the quality of the food. Do not eat food that has thawed!
Risk of food poisoning.

7 Glass shelves and door trays
The height of both the glass shelves in the refrigerator compartment and the door trays
on the inside of the refrigerator compartment door can be adjusted. The split glass
shelves enable taller vessels to be stored.
The door tray with bottle holder can also be placed in another position in the
fridge. Ensure that both cams are secure in the fixture.
When the appliance is new, it may require a little more effort to take out the door
trays and shelves.
8 Tips and tricks
8.1 General information on using the appliance
▪ When closing an appliance door make sure that it forms a proper seal all the way
round. The self-closing hinges help keep it closed: The appliance door closes automatically from an opening angle of 20–30°.
▪ It can take several hours for food and beverages to cool down from room temperature
to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment.
▪ Changing the temperature setting has no effect on the cooling rate. The PartyCooling
and fast cooling/fast freezing functions increase the cooling rate.
▪ Placing very warm or very cold items (e.g. warm, bottled sauces or frozen food for de-
frosting) directly in front of a temperature sensor (integrated in the LED light strip in
the refrigerator compartment and in the LED cover in the freezer compartment) can affect the temperature regulation of the appliance adversely: it may cool too little or too
much.
▪ Ensure that the air outlets are not blocked by food items.
– In the refrigerator compartment, the circumferential gap between the back panel
and the vegetable drawer forms the air outlet.
– In the freezer compartment, the air inlets and outlets are integrated in the back
panel.
– Food placed directly in front of an air outlet opening can be frozen by cold air com-
ing out of it.
▪ Make sure that food or food items on the glass shelves do not tip over when the appli-
ance door is closed or prevent it from closing properly.
▪ Ensure that the freezer compartment drawers are pushed all the way back into the ap-
pliance.
▪ If the appliance detects a very low installation temperature, the illumination may be ac-
tivated to protect the refrigerator compartment from cooling down too much.

8.3 Notes on refrigerating and freezing food
▪ Activate the fast cooling/fast freezing function before putting the food or food
items in the appliance (e.g. before going shopping).
▪ High-protein and high-fat foods are delicate/perishable and have a relatively short
storage life.
▪ Observe best-before and use-by dates.
▪ Wrap or cover food in the refrigerator compartment to prevent it from drying out and
flavours from transferring.
▪ Transfer the contents of opened tins to sealable containers.
▪ It is recommended the bottom drawer in the freezer compartment be used for freezing
no more than 1.5kg of fresh food a day. If there is frozen food already in the bottom
drawer, distribute it between the upper freezer compartment drawers.
▪ There is a risk that freezing fresh food could cause food that is already frozen to par-
tially thaw. Freeze smaller quantities and avoid contact with food that has already
been frozen.
▪ Depending on the product, the following packaging materials are suitable: freezer
bags, aluminium foil or plastic boxes. Freezer burn can be avoided by making the
food packaging as airtight as possible.
▪ Do not refreeze food once defrosted! Only after being prepared (through cooking or
frying) can it be refrozen.
21
Page 22
9 Care and maintenance ▪ Blanch vegetables before freezing. Aubergines, sweet peppers, courgettes, mush-
rooms, asparagus and herbs do not have to be blanched.
▪ The following products are not suitable for freezing: radishes, lettuces, cucumbers,
raw unshelled eggs, boiled eggs, dairy products such as yogurt, cream cheese, curd
cheese and mayonnaise.
▪ Do not defrost frozen food at room temperature or on the heating. Food defrosts
slowly in the fridge. As a quick alternative, defrost in a microwave or steam cooker.
8.4 Notes on saving energy
▪ Leave the drawers, glass shelves and door trays as far as possible in the positions
that they were in upon delivery. These ensure ideal temperature distribution and efficiency.
▪ Only open the appliance doors when necessary and keep them open for as short a
time as possible.
▪ Allow hot or warm food to cool down before putting it in the appliance.
▪ Store food that releases moisture in closed containers or covered in the refrigerator
compartment. Moisture reduces the cooling capacity.
▪ For ideal air circulation: Do not store food and food items too close to each other.
▪ Turn the SilentPlus and V-ZUG-Home functions off when not in use.
9 Care and maintenance
9.1 Cleaning
For the hygienic storage of food, the interior should always be kept clean.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or scouring cloths to clean the appliance.
Take care not to press too hard when cleaning the plastic surfaces.
Risk of causing damage to the appliance.
▸ Condensation can form in the vegetable drawer and on the glass shelves, depending
on the kind and quantity of food being stored. Regularly wipe away any condensation
with a dry cloth.
▸ Clean the interior at regular intervals with a mild soapy solution and wipe dry thor-
oughly.
▸ Clean the operating and display elements just with a damp cloth.
▸ Regularly check the door seals and if dirty clean using a soft brush and clean water.
Wipe dry.
▸ If the appliance is not to be used for a while, switch it off. Clear out and clean the ap-
pliance. Leave the refrigerator and freezer compartment doors open.
9.2 Defrosting
The fully automatic NoFrost system keeps the freezer compartment frost-free. The fridge
compartment also defrosts several times a day. This means that manual defrosting is unnecessary.

10 Noises and warnings
10 Noises and warnings
10.1 Operating noise
The appliance can make various noises during operation. Although the appliance is
noise-optimized, some noise cannot be eliminated completely. This noise depends on
the size of the appliance, how it is installed and the cooling requirements (e.g. fast cooling), the ambient temperature and the installation conditions. Operating noises are particularly audible immediately after switching on the compressor; however, these noises become quieter as the appliance runs.
Unusual noises are often caused by improper installation. The appliance must be installed on a level and stable surface. In open kitchens or in the case of appliances installed in partitioned areas, normal operating noises may seem louder. This is not a fault
but rather an effect of the design/architecture.
Keyword Cause Remarks
Buzzing Compressor/fan Normal operating noise made by the cooling
unit.
