Switching on and off Before using for the first time ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with warm water and a little washing up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth. Important: To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, let it stand for between 11/2 and 2 hour after transporting it to its final location before connecting it to the mains. The temperature display goes out and the cooling process is switched off. If this does not happen, then the safety lock is engaged.
Switching on and off Switching off the alarm ^ Press the alarm button. The alarm will stop. The bars will continue flashing in the temperature display until the temperature which has been set is reached. Cool pack Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. Safety lock The safety lock can be activated to prevent the appliance being switched off inadvertently.
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 and to avoid energy being wasted if the door is left open. Switching on the alarm system Temperature alarm Once the set temperature has been reached in the freezer section, the alarm switches off and the temperature display stops flashing and lights up constantly. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can turn the alarm off before this if you wish.
Super cool, super freeze and dynamic cooling 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. 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, super freeze and dynamic cooling Super freeze Dynamic cooling Switch the super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. When the Dynamic cooling function is not switched on, the natural circulation of air in the appliance will cause different temperature zones in the refrigerator 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 "Using the refrigerator efficiently").
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. Coldest area The coldest area in a refrigerator is directly above the vegetable containers. Use this for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.
Using the refrigerator efficiently Storing food correctly Store food covered or packaged. This will prevent food smells or tastes from affecting other foods, and prevent food from drying out and also any cross-contamination of bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such as salmonella, can be avoided by setting the correct temperature and maintaining good standards of hygiene. Fruit and vegetables Fruit and vegetables can be stored loose in the vegetable containers.
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 shelf forward as far as it will go; then lift it upwards to remove it. ^ 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 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 large items e.g. a turkey or a large joint of meat, the separator plate in between two of the freezer drawers can be removed to give more room. This way food can be stored in the space of two drawers. ^ Remove the drawers above and below the separator plate. ^ Press down on the hook a at the rear of the separator plate and pull the plate forwards and out b. To put the separator plate back in, push it back into place making sure it audibly clicks into position.
Freezing and storing food Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packing or in a covered bowl. Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less than that of fresh vegetables.
Ice cube maker For the automatic ice cube maker to operate it must be connected to the mains water supply. Switching on ^ Switch on the freezer section. ^ Open the top left drawer in the freezer section. To ensure that the water pipes are thoroughly flushed through before use, ice cubes from the first three ice cube making processes must not be consumed. This applies not only to when the appliance is installed for the first time but also if the appliance has been out of use for a longer period (e.g.
Ice cube maker Switching off the ice cube maker The ice cube maker can be switched off independently of the freezer section if you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes. ^ Press the On/Off button on the ice cube maker until the indicator light goes out. If the ice cube maker is switched off, the ice cube drawer can be used as an extra drawer for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food.
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 "Frost free" 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. Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the light. Do not let water get into the drainage channel and drain hole when cleaning. Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Cleaning and care ^ Empty the ice cube drawer. ^ Press the On/Off button on the ice cube maker and hold it pressed in for approx. 10 seconds (after about a second the ice cube maker will switch off and the indicator light will go out). The ice cube maker will begin to produce ice cubes again after a maximum of 6 hours. If the ice cube maker has not been used for a while, it is important to clean the ice cube tray before using it again. The indicator light will flash.
Cleaning and care After cleaning ^ Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigerator section. ^ Place food back in the refrigerator section, close the doors, and switch the appliance on. ^ Switch on the Super freeze function so that the freezer section can cool down quickly. The indicator light will come on. ^ Once the temperature in the freezer section is cold enough place the food back in the freezer drawers and place them back in the freezer section.
