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.
The correct temperature When pressing the buttons, the following information shows in the display: – When first pressed, the last temperature selected flashes. – Each subsequent press of the button adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps. – Keeping the button pressed in adjusts the temperature continually. Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of the button the current average temperature of the refrigerator section is automatically shown. If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx.
The correct temperature Temperature display ^ Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel to come out of the setting mode. Otherwise the electronics will revert to normal operation after a couple of minutes. During normal operation the temperature displays on the control panel show the temperature in the middle of the refrigerator section and the temperature in the warmest part of the freezer section.
The correct temperature Temperature display brightness The appliance is supplied with the brightness of the temperature display set as low as possible. However, if the door is opened, a setting changed or if the alarm is sounding, the temperature display will appear much brighter for approx. 1 minute. The level of brightness can be adjusted: ^ Press and hold the Super freeze button for approx. 5 seconds. The Super freeze indicator light flashes and a ; flashes in the temperature display.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed. An alarm will sound and the freezer section temperature display will flash if the temperature in the freezer section becomes too warm. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm. The alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash, Switching on the alarm system The alarm system is always active.
Super cool and Super freeze Super cool Freezing fresh food The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator section to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired. Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Super cool and Super freeze Super freeze Switching off Super freeze Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer section. Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer section, the Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 30 to 65 hours. The Super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue running at normal power. Exceptions: – when putting in food that is already frozen.
Using the refrigerator section efficiently Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. Warmest area The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.
Using the refrigerator section efficiently The StayFresh zone is divided into two areas: – The dry compartment has a relative humidity level of approx. 45 %. – The humidity controlled compartment has a control for setting the humidity level between 45 % and 90 %. Slide the control to the humidity level you require. The humidity level will also be affected by the moisture content of the food being stored and how often the compartment is opened. Low humidity level , ^ To set a humidity level of approx.
Using the refrigerator section efficiently Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves Adjusting the door shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Push the door shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. ^ Pull the shelves forward as far as they will go; then lift them upwards to remove them. ^ Replace the door shelf at the required position. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Home freezing 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”. Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition.
Freezing and storing food – Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen. – Do not place hot foods or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer. Packing ^ Freeze food in portions.
Freezing and storing food ^ Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the glass cold plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible. ^ Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen. When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.
Freezing and storing food Cooling drinks 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. Ice cubes (with or without release button depending on model) Drinks are best cooled quickly in the refrigerator section using the Super cool function.
Freezing and storing food Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the cool pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food or to save space on the freezer tray. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. If there is a power cut, place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the upper drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible.
Defrosting Refrigerator section and StayFresh zone Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the StayFresh zone whilst in use. These are automatically removed and defrosted by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance. Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance.
Cleaning and care Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. For stainless steel surfaces, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent. Do not let water get into the electronic unit, ventilation gaps or into the light. Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when cleaning.
Cleaning and care Ventilation gaps After cleaning ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned regularly 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 refrigerator section and the StayFresh zone. Door seals Do not use any grease or oil on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.
