To switch off the freezer section and the refrigerator section, press and hold the right-hand main On/Off button until the display goes out. The refrigerator section and freezer section are switched off.
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 Temperature display In normal operation the temperature display either shows the required temperature in the refrigerator section or the required temperature in the freezer section. Tip: To switch between temperature displays, press the relevant button of the section you wish to view. The displayed temperature will flash if a different temperature is set.
The correct temperature Tip: If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature display. It will take this long for the appliance 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.
Using Super freeze and Dynamic cooling Super freeze function Switching on SuperFreeze Switch on Super freeze before putting fresh food into the freezer. The SuperFreeze function should be switched on 6 hours before placing food in the freezer section. When freezing the maximum amount of food the SuperFreeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.
Using Super freeze and Dynamic cooling DynaCool function Switching on DynaCool When the dynamic cooling (DynaCool) function is not switched on, the natural circulation of air in the appliance will cause different temperature zones in the refrigerator section, as the cold, heavy air will sink to the lowest section of the appliance. You should bear this in mind when placing food in the appliance (see “Storing food in the refrigerator section”).
Temperature and door alarm The appliance has a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Freezer section with temperature alarm If the temperature in the freezer becomes too warm, the temperature display and the symbol will flash. An alarm tone will also sound. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm.

Storing food in the refrigerator section Risk of explosion due to flammable mixes of gases. Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite. Do not store explosive materials in the refrigeration appliance or any products containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Risk of damage due to greasy or oily food.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 5 °C, because it may be sensitive to cold. Depending on the type of food, the appearance, consistency, flavour and/or vitamin content may be altered if stored at too cold a temperature.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Storing food correctly Ensure that food stored in the fridge zone is covered or wrapped properly. This will prevent food odours from affecting other foods, stop food from drying out and also prevent any crosscontamination of bacteria. This is particularly important when storing meat products. Make sure that food such as raw meat and fish in particular does not come into contact with other food.
Adjusting the interior fittings (refrigerator section) Adjusting the door/bottle shelf Only move door/bottle shelves when they are empty. Adjusting or removing the bottle holder Push the door/bottle shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it forwards. Replace the shelf at the required height. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. Moving the shelves Stoppers prevent the shelves from being dislodged by mistake.
Adjusting the interior fittings (refrigerator section) Adjusting the bottle rack The bottle rack is available as an optional accessory (see “Accessories optional accessories”). Moving the charcoal filters Charcoal filters and a KKF-FF (Active AirClean) holder are available as optional accessories (see “Accessories - optional accessories”). When storing very strong smelling food (e.g. very ripe cheese): - Place the holder with the charcoal filters on the shelf where this food is kept.
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 appliance Storage time for frozen food When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see “Using SuperFreeze and DynaCool – SuperFreeze function”). The storage life of food is very variable, even at a constant temperature of -18 °C. Decomposition processes also take place in frozen food, albeit at a very reduced speed.
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. 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.
Freezing and storing food Adjusting the interior fittings Removing the drawers The drawers can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes. You can also increase the amount of space needed for freezing large frozen goods such as a turkey or large piece of game by removing a freezer drawer. Please note that when removing the drawers, the lowest freezer drawer must always remain in the refrigeration appliance. Pull out the drawer as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out.
Defrosting Refrigerator section Freezer section The refrigerator section defrosts automatically. The appliance is equipped with a “NoFrost” system. The freezer defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst the compressor is running. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the compressor.
Cleaning and care Do not let water get into the electronic module or the lighting. Risk of damage due to moisture ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner can damage plastic and and electrical components. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the refrigeration appliance. Cleaning water must not get into the drain hole. The data plate located inside the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a fault.
Cleaning and care Preparing the refrigeration appliance for cleaning Switch the refrigeration appliance off. Dismantling an adjustable shelf Place the shelf on a worktop covered with a soft material (e.g. a tea towel). The display goes out and the cooling function is switched off. Take any food out of the refrigeration appliance and store it in a cool place. Remove the shelves and bottle shelf from the door. Take out the freezer drawers. Take out all other removable parts for cleaning.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the interior and accessories The refrigeration appliance should be cleaned regularly (at least once a month). Remove soiling immediately to prevent it from drying on. Clean the interior with a clean sponge, lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Remove the plastic trims before cleaning the adjustable shelves and door shelves in a dishwasher.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the front of the appliance and the side panels If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove. Surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage. Therefore, it is best to remove soiling from the appliance front and side panels immediately. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the surfaces. See the information on “Cleaning agents” at the beginning of this section.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the compressor and metal grille at the back of the appliance A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning. Cables and other components can get broken off, bent or damaged. Carefully clean the compressor and metal grille. The compressor and metal grille at the back of the refrigeration appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year.
Cleaning and care After cleaning Replace all shelves and accessories in the appliance. Switch the refrigeration appliance on. Switch on the Super freeze function for a while so that the freezer section can cool down quickly. Place food in the refrigerator section and close the door. Place the freezer drawers with the frozen food back in the freezer section and close the door.
Cleaning and care Remove both charcoal filters and place the new filters with the surrounding edge pointing downwards in the holder. Place the holder in the middle of the raised edge at the back of the adjustable shelf, so that it clicks into position.
Problem solving guide Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be needed. The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault, and to correct it. To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the door while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
Problem solving guide Problem Cause and remedy After a while, the temperature will return to normal by itself. If a thick layer of ice has already formed, this will affect cooling and increase energy consumption. Defrost the refrigeration appliance and clean it. The ambient room temperature is too high. The higher the ambient temperature, the longer the compressor has to run. See the information in “Installation – Installation site”. The temperature setting in the refrigeration appliance is too low.
