The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted.
The correct temperature When you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature display, as it will take this long for the appliance to reach the temperature. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again. Temperature (Fahrenheit/Celsius) Temperature range ^ Take note of the position of the X sensor (but do not touch it!).
The correct temperature ^ By touching the X sensor, you can now set the temperature to be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. † 0: Temperature in Fahrenheit † 1: Temperature in Celsius † –: Return to menu Temperature display ^ After selecting a new setting, touch the access sensor to confirm your choice. The temperature display flashes if ^ Now touch the X sensor repeatedly until c appears in the display. The temperature display on the control panel always shows the required temperature.
Temperature and door alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the appliance cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open. Switching the temperature alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually.
Temperature and door alarm Door alarm The alarm will sound if the door is left open for more than 5 minutes. The sensor for switching the temperature or door alarm off will also light up.

Switching the door alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish. ^ Touch the sensor for switching the temperature or door alarm off.
Super freeze Super freeze Switching off Super freeze Switch on the Super freeze function before putting fresh food into the freezer. Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer, the Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 52 hours. The sensor is highlighted in white and the appliance continues running at normal power. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.
Arranging the interior fittings Freezer baskets The freezer baskets can also be removed for cleaning. ^ Pull the freezer basket out as far as it will go. There is a safety catch on the door opening side which needs to be turned to a horizontal position in order to remove the basket. ^ Use a screwdriver or similar to turn the catch to a horizontal position a. ^ Raise the snap fittings on both sides b and lift the basket out.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Storing frozen food To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: "Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".
Freezing and storing food Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing – The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. – The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
Freezing and storing food ^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging. Before placing food in the freezer ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost.
Freezing and storing food Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less than that of fresh vegetables due to changes in the cell structure. Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Making ice cubes For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it needs to be plumbed in (see "Mains water connection"). Switching on the ice cube maker ^ Make sure that the ice cube container is correctly located underneath the ice cube maker. The container must be completely shut for ice cubes to be produced. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor for the ice cube maker so that it is highlighted in yellow. Once the freezer has cooled down to its set temperature, the ice cube maker will fill with water.
Making ice cubes Switching off the ice cube maker The appliance must be disconnected from the mains water supply a few hours before the ice cube maker is switched off. The ice cube maker can be switched off if you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor for the ice cube maker so that it is highlighted in white.
Automatic defrost This appliance is equipped with a "Frost free" system. The freezer defrosts automatically. The moisture generated by defrosting collects in the condensor and is automatically dissipated by the condensor from time to time. This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free, however the food stored in the freezer will not defrost.
Cleaning and care Before cleaning Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the lighting. Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a service call.
Cleaning and care Aluminium frames Ice cube container The frames to the shelves inside the appliance and the door baskets are made from aluminium. The ice cube container sits on telescopic runners, and can be fully extended for loading and unloading. Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from. It is also susceptible to scratching. For cleaning, the ice cube container can be removed completely.
Cleaning and care Ventilation gaps After cleaning ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. ^ Replace all shelves and accessories in the appliance. Door seal ^ Reconnect to the mains and switch the appliance back on. ^ Switch on the Super freeze function so that the freezer can cool down quickly.
