The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Bacteria will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these bacteria. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for long periods, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of bacteria is generally halted.
The correct temperature Temperature range The temperature can be adjusted from -14 °C to -24 °C. The ambient temperature in the room and the installation location can affect the time it takes for the appliance to reach the lowest temperature. If the ambient temperature is too high, the appliance may not reach the lowest temperature.

Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity 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”. The maximum freezing capacity given on the data plate has been calculated according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Standard.
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, cakes, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of precooked meals. - The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, soured cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
Freezing and storing food Before placing food in the appliance When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function some time before placing the food in the freezer (see “SuperFreeze”). This helps create a cold reserve in food which is already stored in the freezer. Placing food in the freezer Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer zone. Preferably freeze food in the upper freezer basket, as this is the best location for quick and gentle freezing.
Freezing and storing food Defrosting frozen goods Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Making ice cubes For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it must be connected to a mains water supply (see “Mains water connection”). Risk to health due to contaminated water. Consuming polluted water can lead to illnesses. The first 3 batches of ice cubes made after the ice cube maker is started up must not be consumed, as the water will have been used for the initial rinsing of the water supply line.
Making ice cubes Switching the ice maker off The ice maker can be turned off independently of the freezer zone if you do not want to make any ice cubes. Close the stopcock in the water supply line approx. 3 hours before switching off the refrigeration appliance to avoid the build-up of mould caused by stagnant water. In Settings mode , use the and sensor controls to select Dispenser unit and select OK to confirm your selection.
Automatic defrosting The appliance is equipped with a “NoFrost” system. The freezer defrosts automatically. The moisture generated in the appliance collects on the condenser and is automatically defrosted and dissipated from time to time. This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free. Food stored in the freezer will not defrost with this system.
Cleaning and care Do not let water get into the electronic unit or the lighting. Risk of damage due to moisture ingress.
