7 Cold storage compartment
Suitable foods can be stored in the chill compartment (temperature between
1°C and 2°C) for up to three times longer than in a conventional refrigerator
compartment.
To ensure optimum storage conditions in the chill compartment, the temperature in the refrigerator compartment must be set between 4°C and 6°C. A
higher temperature setting results in higher temperatures in the chill compartment; and conversely, a lower temperature setting results in lower temperatures.
7.1 Humidity
The humidity in the chill compartment can be set to any level. However, it also
depends on the quantity and the moisture content of the stored foods, their
packaging and how often the chill compartment drawer is opened.
The following foods are suited to different levels of humidity:
Low humidity High humidity
Meat, fish, poultry and sausages Berries, lettuce, vegetables, fruit and
mushrooms
7.2 Setting the humidity
▸ Pull the chill compartment drawer
out as far as it will go.
▸ Move the slide valve on the top

9 Tips and tricks
9.1 General information on using the appliance
▪ When closing the appliance door make sure that it forms a seal all the way
round. This is supported by the self-closing hinges, as the appliance doors
shut themselves if the opening angle is between 20–30°.
▪ Snow and ice forming on the rear wall of the refrigerator can be caused by
the appliance door not being closed properly. Make sure no food items are
protruding, the appliance door does not catch and the hinges move freely.
▪ It can take up to 6 hours for food and beverages to cool down from room
temperature to the cooling compartment temperature. The greater the
quantity of warm food, the longer it takes to cool down.
▪ Changing the temperature setting has no effect on the time it takes for food
and beverages to cool down, only the temperature itself.
▪ Storing food that releases moisture can lead to condensation on the glass
shelves. For this reason, food must be covered or wrapped up; this also
prevents it from drying out.
▪ The electronic controller defrosts the cooling compartment once a day. A
visible layer of snow or ice on the rear wall of the cooling compartment is
therefore normal.
▪ At high ambient temperatures, a significant amount of ice may form on the
rear wall. This is normal: due to the high humidity, more water condenses in
the appliance and ices up. Defrost the appliance manually if necessary.
▪ The food must not come into contact with the rear wall of the cooling com-
partment or it may freeze. Additionally, when defrosting the appliance, water
may enter the cooling compartment.
▪ Placing very warm or very cold items (e.g. warm, bottled sauces or frozen
food for defrosting) directly in front of the temperature sensor can affect the
appliance's temperature regulation: insufficient or excessive cooling may
take place.
19
Page 20
9 Tips and tricks
9.2 Notes on storing food
▪ Store oils and fats in closed containers. They must not come into contact
with the plastic parts or the door seal.
▪ The coldest areas of the cooling compartment are the rear wall and the
space above the bottom shelf, regardless of the temperature setting. Perishables like meat should therefore be stored on the lowest shelf.
Example arrangement (from top to bottom)
In the freezer compartment:
▪ For freezing and storing
food and making ice
On the glass shelves:
▪ Cakes and baking
▪ Cooked foods
▪ Dairy products
▪ Meat, sausages and fish
In the chill compartment:
▪ Vegetables, fruit and salad
▪ Meat, sausages and fish
In the bottle drawer:
▪ Beverages and cold-sensit-
ive food
In the door trays:
▪ Butter and cheese
▪ Tubes and eggs
▪ Small cans
▪ Smaller bottles and Tetra
Pak containers
▪ Large bottles (up to max.
1.5litres)
20
Page 21
9 Tips and tricks
9.3 Notes on freezing
▪ Check the packaging for damage. Damp patches or swollen packaging
may indicate that the contents have defrosted.
▪ Food to be frozen should not come into contact with goods that are already
frozen or it may cause them to defrost.
▪ Only freeze small quantities at any one time so that the temperature of the
frozen food already in the freezer compartment does not increase too
sharply (for max. freezing capacity, see the identification plate or product
fiche).
▪ For freezing large quantities (for max. freezing capacity, see the identifica-
tion plate or product fiche), use the space above the rack. If there is frozen
food already in there, put it below the rack. Activate the Fast cooling function by pressing the button 12 hours before placing the food inside. It
switches off automatically after 24 hours.
▪ Defrosted frozen food must not be refrozen as the food may perish.
9.4 Notes on saving energy
▪ Leave the drawers, glass shelves and door trays in the positions they were
in upon delivery, if possible. This ensures the best possible temperature distribution.
▪ Only open the appliance doors when necessary and keep them open for as
short a time as possible. The sooner the doors are closed, the less cold air
escapes.
▪ Leave warm or hot food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
▪ Store food that releases moisture in closed containers or covered in the
cooling compartment, if possible. Moisture can cause the rear wall of the refrigerator to ice up more quickly and reduce its cooling output.
▪ Make sure the appliance doors close correctly. The door seal must align
properly with the appliance frame.
▪ Do not install the appliance near radiators, heating pipes or flues, and pro-
tect it against direct sunlight.

10 Care and maintenance
10.1 Cleaning
For hygienic food storage, the interior should be kept clean.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or scouring cloths.
This may damage the appliance.
▸ Every so often, use a mild soapy solution to wipe the interior and dry thor-
oughly. Occasionally wipe with lemon water; this eliminates smells.
▸ Regularly inspect the door seals and if dirty clean using a soft brush. This
helps to prevent them from sticking or being damaged.
▸ Clean the operating and display elements just with a slightly damp cloth.
▸ When not in use for an extended period of time, switch the appliance «off»
with the button. Empty, defrost and clean the appliance, and leave the refrigerator compartment door and the freezer compartment door open.
Ensure that no cleaning water runs through the defrost drainage
channel into the evaporation tray.
10.2 Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment defrosts once a day automatically.
During defrosting, the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment increases so that the ice on the rear
wall melts. The water created when the
ice melts collects in the defrost channel, flows through the drain hole and
evaporates outside the appliance in
the evaporation tray.
When defrosting is complete, the temperature is lowered back down to the set
target temperature.
Keep the collection channel and the drain pipe clean so that the water
can flow freely.
22
Page 23
10 Care and maintenance
▸ Clean the defrost drainage channel
with the green cleaner that is in it
with an up-and-down and circular
motion.
If milk has been spilt accidentally and has ended up in the defrost
drainage channel:
► Push some kitchen towel into the drain hole and try to absorb as
much liquid as possible.
► If more than 1dl has flowed into the defrost drainage channel
and/or a strong odour develops after a while: call Customer Services.
If any foreign objects get into the defrost drainage channel:
► Carefully insert a flexible plastic object (such as a cable tie) into
the drain hole and try to remove any foreign objects.
► Do not use hard or sharp objects, or the defrost drainage channel
and surrounding components could get damaged.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
A thick layer of ice will prevent the cold from being transferred to the frozen
food. Therefore, the freezer compartment should be defrosted if a lot of ice
has formed. When defrosting, keep frozen food as cold and insulated as possible, e.g. by wrapping it in newspaper.
Do not use sharp objects to remove ice or food that has frozen solid.
Do not use electrical heaters or naked flames for defrosting.
▸ Switch the appliance «off» using the button.
▸ Leave the appliance door and freezer compartment door open.
▸ After defrosting, clean the interior and dry thoroughly.
▸ Start the appliance again using the button.

11 Noises and alarms
11.1 Operating noise
The compressor and the cooling circuit make various noises while the appliance is running.
Although the appliance is fitted with a quiet compressor and a noise-optimized
cooling circuit, some noises cannot be completely avoided. The volume of
these noises depends on the size of the appliance, how it is installed and the
cooling requirement (e.g. for Fast cooling). Operating noises are particularly
audible immediately after switching on the compressor; however, these noises
become quieter as the appliance runs.

Page 27
11 Noises and alarms
Unusual noises caused by improper installation
Unusual noises are often caused by improper installation. The appliance must
be installed on a level and stable surface. The pipework on the back of the appliance must never be routed across the wall or other furniture. The pipes
must not touch each other.
In open kitchens or in the case of appliances installed in partitioned areas,
normal operating noises may appear louder. This is not a fault but rather an effect of the architecture.
Fast cooling
During the Fast cooling process, the compressor operates at a higher cooling
output, which increases the noise level above the normal operating noise level.
The compressor output is increased until the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment reaches the target temperature or the maximum duration
elapses. The target temperature for the refrigerator compartment is reset to
the previously set target temperature after 24hours.
11.2 Warning and alarm signals
Warnings when the appliance doors are open
If the cooling compartment door is open for several minutes, the following
alarm signals occur:
After 2 minutes LEDs flash every 15 seconds.
After 3 minutes LEDs flash every 5 seconds.
After 4 minutes LEDs flash rhythmically every second.
After 10 minutes An acoustic alarm sounds for 3 minutes. The acoustic
alarm repeats every 30minutes.
Temperature alarm
An acoustic signal sounds if the cooling compartment temperature rises
10°C above the selected temperature value.
Cancelling alarm
▸ Cancel the alarm by touching the button.
