The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature to ensure the shelf life of food. Reducing the temperature reduces the growth rate of microorganisms. Food does not spoil as quickly.
Using Super cool SuperCool When switched on, the SuperCool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the fridge zone to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). The refrigeration appliance will work at full power and lower the temperature. Select this function for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink. When the SuperCool function is switched on, the appliance may make more noise than usual.
Door alarm The refrigeration appliance is fitted with a warning system to avoid increased energy consumption and food becoming warm if the appliance door is left open. An alarm tone will sound if the appliance door has been left open for longer than 2 minutes. As soon as the appliance door is closed, the alarm tone will stop. Switching the door alarm off early If the alarm disturbs you, it can be turned off early. Touch the sensor control on the control panel. The alarm will stop.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Risk of explosion due to flam- Different storage zones mable mixes of gases. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite. Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). The spray cans in question can be identified by the contents printed on the can or by a flame symbol. Electrical components can cause escaping gases to ignite.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Tip: Store food in such a way that it does not touch the rear wall of the fridge zone. Otherwise it could freeze to the rear wall. Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5 °C, because it may be sensitive to cold. Depending on the type of food, the appearance, consistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.
Defrosting The fridge zone defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the fridge zone whilst the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this. The condensate drains through a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the refrigeration appliance. The warmth generated by the compressor causes the condensate to evaporate automatically. Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this.
Cleaning and care The data plate located inside the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a fault. Do not let water get into the electronic unit or the lighting. Risk of damage due to moisture ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner can damage plastic and electrical components. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance. Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole.
Cleaning and care Preparing the refrigeration appliance for cleaning Switch the refrigeration appliance off. Take any food out of the refrigeration appliance and store it in a cool place. Take out any removable parts for cleaning. Cleaning the inside of the appliance The refrigeration appliance should be cleaned regularly (at least once a month). If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove under certain circumstances. Surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door seal Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning. If you treat the door seal with oils or grease, it can become porous. Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal. The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. Cleaning the ventilation gaps A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. After cleaning Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigeration appliance.
