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 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 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.
Freezing and storing food The bottom freezer drawer must not be taken out of the appliance. After removing the top drawer make sure that you do not block the ventilation holes in the back wall of the appliance. They are important for trouble-free operation of the appliance. ^ Remove the drawers above and below the separator shelf. 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 Use the markers to indicate the type of food being frozen and turn the dials to the appropriate number to indicate the month the food was first placed in the freezer. Ice cubes Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: – in the microwave oven, – in the oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, – at room temperature, – in the fridge. Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry.
Freezing and storing food Ice pack 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 top drawer of the freezer section, directly on top of the food. The ice pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. If there is a power cut lay the ice 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 Freezer section 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. This freezer is equipped with a "No-frost" system. The freezer section defrosts automatically. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
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. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the electronic unit, ventilation gaps or into the light. Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when cleaning.
