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. . . . in the freezer – if too much food is stored in it at once, For freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time a temperature of at least -18 °C is needed.
The correct temperature When pressing the buttons the following are shown 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 actual temperature of the refrigerator or freezer is automatically shown. If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx.
The correct temperature The temperature displays flash, if Temperature display brightness – a different temperature is being set, 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 temperature in the appliance has risen by several degrees, indicating that the appliance is warming up too much.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed. It is always active. If the temperature in the freezer gets too warm an alarm will sound and the temperature display for the freezer section will flash. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.
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 Switching on super freeze Switching super freeze off Switch the super freeze function on 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. 30 to 60 hours. The super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue running at normal power.
Using the refrigerator section efficiently Different storage zones Natural air circulation gives rise to different temperature zones inside 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. Coldest zone The coldest zone in the refrigerator section is directly above the vegetable containers. Use this for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.
Using the refrigerator section efficiently Storing food correctly Energy saving tips Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods and prevent food from drying out. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. – Frequently opening the door or keeping it open for too long will cause the temperature in the appliance to rise.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves Adjusting 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 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. month the food was first placed in the freezer. Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: Freezer calendar – in the microwave oven, The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time which various foods can be stored effectively.
Freezing and storing food Ice cubes Freezer tray (depending on model) The freezer tray can be used for freezing soft fruit, herbs, small items etc. The tray allows you to space out the food so that it does not stick together and keeps its shape. ^ Press down the release button on the ice cube tray and fill the tray with water. Any excess will flow out through the outlet. ^ Now pull the release button up to seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers.
Freezing and storing food Ice pack (Depending on model) The ice pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the ice pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food or to save space on the freezer tray. The ice pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
Defrosting Refrigerator section Before defrosting Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. These are automatically removed and defrosted by the appliance. ^ Switch on the super freeze function at least 4 hours before defrosting to ensure frozen food retains its cold reserve for longer when taken out of the freezer. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
Defrosting We do not recommend the use of hot air blowers such as hairdryers for defrosting your appliance. Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts. ^ Open out the outlet guide for defrosted water. ^ Place a container in front of the appliance to collect the defrosted water. Make sure that the container does not overflow. To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot water (not boiling) can be placed in the appliance.
Cleaning and care Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents. ^ Take out any removable parts e.g. shelves for cleaning. Cleaning the outer casing, the interior and accessories "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. Use lukewarm water with a little washing up liquid. Accessories and shelves should be hand washed only. The butter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.
