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.
The correct temperature ... in the freezer section 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. As soon as the temperature rises above -10 °C, the bacteria become active in the food again so it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
The correct temperature To set the temperature regulator to the “colder” position, pull the handling aid downwards. The temperature in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone drops permanently to just above 0 °C. Temperature range The temperature can be adjusted: - In the fridge zone from 2 °C to 8 °C - In the freezer zone 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.
Using Super cool and Super freeze SuperCool function Switching SuperCool off 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). Touch the sensor control to set the temperature. Super cool is particularly recommended for the rapid chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink. Switching SuperCool on Touch the sensor control to set the temperature.
Using Super cool and Super freeze SuperFreeze function For best results, switch the SuperFreeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Exceptions: - When you place food that is already frozen in the freezer - When you only freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food daily Switching on SuperFreeze SuperFreeze should be turned on 4– 6 hours before you place food in the freezer.
Using Super cool and Super freeze Tip: To save energy, you should manually switch the SuperFreeze function off once the freezer reaches a constant temperature of -18 °C or colder. Monitor the temperature in the freezer zone.

Coldest area The coldest area in the fridge zone is directly above the MasterFresh zone and at the back of the appliance. The temperature in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone is even colder.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Notes on buying food The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor for how long it stays fresh. Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone MasterFresh zone The MasterFresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins. The MasterFresh zone comprises a humidity-controlled and a dry compartment. - Depending on the moisture-regulator setting, the humidity-controlled compartment is particularly suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone The moisture regulator is used to regulate the amount of moisture in the humidity-controlled compartment with settings to . Position of the moisture regulator = slightly increased humidity Select this setting if you store very large quantities of fruit and vegetables in the humidity-controlled compartment. The moisture regulator partially closes the vents in the compartment so that some of the moisture present is retained.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone Dry compartment with low temperature Tip: This compartment is ideal for all home-cooked meals as any microorganisms that may still be present cannot multiply. The dry compartment is ideal for storing perishable foods, such as: The temperature in the dry compartment is maintained at -1 to 3 °C. While lower than the temperature in a standard fridge zone, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh food which is not sensitive to cold.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (for example, the food wilts or becomes withered after only a short storage time): Only place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial to maintaining freshness. Clean the MasterFresh zone before storing food in it. Very wet food should be dried off before it is stored in the humidity-controlled compartment.
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”. Storing frozen food Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
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 freezer When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function for 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer (see “Using SuperCool and SuperFreeze”). This helps the frozen food which is already stored in the freezer to stay frozen. Placing food in the freezer Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer zone. Place large quantities of food in the large freezer basket.
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. Frozen goods can be defrosted in different ways: Cooling drinks quickly When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour; otherwise they could burst, causing injury and damage.
