How to save energy Defrosting 14 Normal energy consumption Increased energy consumption Defrost the freezer compartment when a layer of ice 0.5 cm thick has built up. A layer of ice hinders the cold from reaching the frozen food, and causes an increase in energy consumption.
Switching on and off Before using for the first time Switching on The stainless steel trim to the interior shelves and the door shelves has a layer of protective foil to prevent scratching during transportation. The refrigerator section/PerfectFresh zone and freezer section are switched on together by pressing the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel. ^ Do not remove this foil until the appliance has been built in.
Switching on and off Switching off Safety lock ^ Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel until both temperature displays go out. The safety lock can be activated to prevent the appliance being switched off inadvertently. The cooling system is switched off. If this does not happen, then the safety lock has been activated.
Switching on and off ^ Press the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel to come out of the setting mode. If you do not do this, the electronics will switch over to normal operation automatically after a couple of minutes. Switching off for longer periods of time If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g.
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. Dynamic cooling The temperature in the appliance will rise: . . .
The correct temperature Setting the temperature in the refrigerator section / freezer section Use the two buttons underneath the respective temperature displays to set the temperature for the refrigerator and freezer sections. Press the display, as it will take this long for the display to give an accurate reading. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.
The correct temperature Temperature display ^ Press one of the temperature selector buttons repeatedly until a = appears in the display. Then press the Super freeze button again. = lights up in the display. ^ You can now adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone by pressing the temperature selector buttons. You can choose from settings 1 to 9: 1: lowest temperature, 9: highest temperature. = 5 is the default setting for the PerfectFresh zone.
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 the master switch on the right hand side of the control panel to come out of the setting mode.
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 at the same time the temperature display for the freezer section will flash if the temperature becomes too warm. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.
Super cool and Super freeze Super cool Super freeze 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). Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. Switching on Super cool Super cool is particularly recommended for the faster chilling of large amounts of fresh food or drink.
Super cool and Super freeze Switching off Super freeze Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer section, 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. To save energy, the Super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temperature of -18 °C or colder has been reached in the freezer section. ^ Press the Super freeze button.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Different storage zones Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance. This appliance has automatic dynamic cooling, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. For this reason, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator Not all food is suitable for refrigeration. This includes: – Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado pears, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers – Fruit which is not yet ripe – Potatoes – Some hard cheeses, e.g.
Using the PerfectFresh zone For every type of food, there are ideal storage conditions to ensure it stays fresh as long as possible, retaining both flavour and vitamins. The important factors for this are the storage temperature and the humidity. What are the advantages of the PerfectFresh zone? The correct combination of temperature and humidity is a unique feature of the PerfectFresh zone. Food can be stored for up to three times longer in the PerfectFresh zone than in a standard refrigerator.
Using the PerfectFresh zone Always keep these foods covered or wrapped. Exception: Meat The surface of the meat dries out slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria, which results in the meat lasting longer. To prevent the risk of bacterial cross-contamination and meat deteriorating, do not let one type of meat come into direct contact with another type. Humidity-controlled compartment The humidity-controlled compartment has a regulator which is used to adjust the relative humidity.
Using the PerfectFresh zone Examples of fruit and vegetables which produce a large amount of this natural gas are: Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, avocado pears, figs, blueberries, melons and beans. Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches.
Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves To move the split shelf: The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Take both halves of the split glass shelf out, ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level. The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it.
Adjusting the interior fittings ^ Carefully pull out the lid between the compartments slightly, and lift it down and out. Universal container The universal container can be used both to store and serve food. ^ To replace it, insert the compartment lid from beneath into the holders, and push it back into place. To replace the compartment, ^ place it back on the fully extended runners a. The front of the runners must be right up against the front of the compartment b. ^ Then push the compartment back in c.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Storing frozen food 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".
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, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. – The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
Freezing and storing food Before placing food in the freezer section ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost. Placing food in the freezer Freezing large items If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the glass cold plate between the drawers can be removed.
Freezing and storing food Defrosting Ice cubes Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: – in a microwave oven, – in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, – at room temperature, – in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold), – in a steam oven. ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers.
Freezing and storing food Freezer tray Cool pack The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries, herbs and vegetables. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted. The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. ^ Space the food out loosely on the tray. Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section, directly on top of the food.
Defrosting the appliance Refrigerator and PerfectFresh zone only very little food or no food at all is left in the freezer. The refrigerator and the PerfectFresh zone defrost automatically. Before defrosting Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the refrigerator.
Defrosting the appliance To speed up defrosting, two bowls of hot water (not boiling) with plates underneath them can be placed in the appliance. Closing the door in this instance will help retain warmth and speed up the defrosting process. We do not recommend the use of hot air blowers such as hairdryers for defrosting your freezer. Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Cleaning and care Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids chlorides or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. ^ Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place. ^ Defrost the freezer. ^ Take out any removable parts, e.g. shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning and care ^ Clean stainless steel surfaces with a suitable, non-abrasive, proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent, following the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. ^ After cleaning, stainless steel surfaces should always be treated with a conditioning agent for stainless steel. It is important to do this every time the stainless steel surfaces are cleaned, as the stainless steel conditioner protects the surfaces and helps prevent re-soiling.
