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 Zone To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is required. At this temperature the growth of bacteria is generally halted. As soon as the temperature rises above 14°F (-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.

Storing food in the refrigerator section Always observe USDA food safety guidelines. Risk of fire from electrical appliances. Operating electrical devices in the appliance can cause sparks to form. Do not operate any electrical devices inside the appliance. Risk of explosion due to flammable mixes of gases. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite. Do not store any explosive materials or products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the appliance.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Warmest area The warmest area in the refrigerator section is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and cheese so that it retains its flavor. Food which is not suitable for storage in the fridge zone Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) because it is sensitive to cold.
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 fridge, e.g., transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum. Storing food correctly Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is in packaging or covered properly (some exceptions apply in the MasterFresh zone).
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone MastertFresh zone The MastertFresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavor 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 fruits 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 30 to 37°F ( -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 as 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 storing it in the humidity-controlled compartment.
Freezing and storing food Always observe USDA food safety guidelines. Risk of fire from electrical appliances. Operating electrical devices in the appliance can cause sparks to form. Do not operate any electrical devices inside the appliance. 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.
Freezing and storing food Storing frozen food Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Defrosted food must only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, make sure to check: - that the packaging is not damaged - the expiration date - the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the store The length of time food can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than 0°F (-18°C).
Freezing and storing food - Placing hot food or drink in the freezer causes food that is already frozen to partially thaw and increases energy consumption. Allow hot food and drink to cool down before placing it in the freezer. Packaging food for freezing Freeze food in portions.
Freezing and storing food Unfrozen food should not touch frozen food as this will cause the frozen food to begin to thaw. Storage time for frozen food The storage life of food is very variable, even at a constant temperature of 0°F (-18°C). Decomposition processes also take place in frozen food, albeit at a very reduced speed. Fat can become rancid from contact with oxygen in the air, for example. This is why lean meat can be stored approx. twice as long as fatty meat.
Making ice cubes For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it must be connected to a water supply (see “Installation – Water supply”). Risk to health due to contaminated water. Consuming polluted water can lead to illnesses. The first 3 batches of ice cubes made after the ice cube maker is started up must not be consumed, as the water will have been used for the initial rinsing of the water supply line.
Making ice cubes Turning off the ice maker The ice maker can be turned off independently of the freezer zone if you do not want to make any ice cubes. Close the faucet in the water supply line (approx. 3 hours before switching off the appliance to avoid the buildup of bacteria caused by stagnant water). In Settings mode , use the and sensor controls to select the Dispenser Unit and select OK to confirm your selection.
