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. Setting the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone The temperature in the PerfectFresh zone can be raised or lowered, e.g. if you want to use it for storing items like fish.
The correct temperature – Each subsequent touch of a sensor: changes the setting incrementally. – Leaving a finger on the sensor: changes the setting continuously. Approx. 5 seconds after taking your finger off a sensor, the current setting of the PerfectFresh zone is automatically shown. The settings, b 1 to b 9 have specific temperature ranges allocated to them. The temperature itself will not appear in the display. b 5 is the default setting for the PerfectFresh zone.
The correct temperature The temperature being set will flash in the display. appliance may not reach the lowest temperature. The following information shows in the display when the sensors are touched: Temperature display – Touching a sensor once: the last temperature selected flashes. – Each subsequent touch of a sensor: adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps. – Leaving a finger on the sensor: changes the temperature continuously.
The correct temperature ^ The temperature display brightness can now be changed by touching the X sensor: d 0: Maximum brightness d 1: Reduced brightness d –: Return to menu. The old setting lights up, and your newly selected setting flashes. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor to confirm the new setting. ^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until c appears in the display. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor. You have now left the settings mode.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the appliance cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Switching the temperature alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually. Temperature alarm An alarm will sound if the temperature becomes too warm.
Alarm Door alarm The alarm will sound if a door is left open for more than approx. 2 minutes. The alarm off sensor will light up red and the symbol for the section which has the opened door will flash. The alarm will stop and the indicators will go out as soon as the door is closed. Switching the door alarm off early If the noise of the door alarm disturbs you, you can switch it off early if you wish. ^ Touch the alarm off sensor. The alarm will stop.
Super cool and Super freeze Super cool Switching off Super cool The Super cool function can be used to rapidly reduce the temperature throughout the PerfectFresh zone to its lowest setting (depending on the room temperature). The Super cool function will switch itself off automatically after approx. 6 hours. The appliance will then continue to work at normal power. Switching on Super cool To save energy, the Super cool function can be switched off once food and drinks are sufficiently chilled.
Super cool and Super freeze Super freeze Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer section. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Super freeze is not necessary: – when placing food in the freezer that is already frozen. The appliance works at full power to lower the temperature in the freezer section.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone Food is stored at a lower temperature in the PerfectFresh zone than in the refrigerator section. The humidity in the PerfectFresh zone compartment can also be regulated to suit the food being stored. Providing ideal storage conditions ensures that food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins. Storage temperature The optimum storage temperature for fresh food which is not sensitive to cold is 0 - 3 °C.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone Food which is not suitable for storing in the refrigerator Not all food is suitable for storing in a refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C, as some food is sensitive to cold. Cucumbers, for example, become glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes sweet. Tomatoes and oranges loose their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits hardens. Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone compartments The coldest areas in the refrigerator are in the PerfectFresh compartments.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone Please take into account that high humidity is only achieved and effective if the food is stored unwrapped or loosely wrapped. – The high humidity setting . is ideal for storing freshly harvested produce such as vegetables, salad, herbs, cabbage and home-grown seasonal fruit. , = low humidity. The regulator opens the vents to the compartment allowing the moisture to escape. If the regulator is set at low humidity , the humidity will be approx.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone Can all types of food be stored together? Do not place all types of food together in one compartment. Some types of food do not store well together. Aromas and flavours can transfer from one type of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb the smell and flavour of onions very easily). Some food also gives off a natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up the rate at which other food perishes.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time): ^ Only use the appliance for storing fresh food. The condition of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh. ^ Clean food before placing it in the PerfectFresh zone. ^ Allow very moist food to drain before placing it in the appliance.
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 PerfectFresh zone compartments The compartments in the PerfectFresh zone are on telescopic rails, and can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes. ^ Pull out the compartment as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out. Push the runners back in again to avoid injury or damage. ^ Carefully pull out the lid between the compartments slightly, and lift it down and out.
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 section Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer. Large quantities should be placed directly on the glass cold plates to freeze the food quickly.
Freezing and storing food Defrosting Cooling drinks Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: To cool drinks quickly, place them in the refrigerator section, and switch on the Super cool function. If bottles are, however, placed in the freezer section for rapid cooling, make sure they are not left in for more than one hour, as they could burst.
Freezing and storing food Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section, directly on top of the food. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. If there is a power cut, place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the top drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible.
Making ice cubes For the automatic ice cube maker to operate it must be connected to the mains water supply. Switching on the ice cube maker ^ Switch on 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. whilst on holiday).
Making ice cubes Switching off the ice cube maker Setting the water intake time for 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. The size of the ice cubes produced depends on the water pressure present and the water intake time which has been set for the ice cube maker. If the ice cube maker is only producing small ice cubes the water pressure is low.
Making ice cubes ^ The length of the water intake time for the ice cube maker can now be adjusted by touching the X sensor: E 1: Shortest water intake time, E 8: Longest water intake time, E – : Return to menu. The old setting lights up, and your newly selected setting flashes. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor to confirm the new setting. ^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until e – appears in the display. ^ Touch the On/Off sensor. ^ Touch the X sensor repeatedly until c appears in the display.
Defrosting PerfectFresh zone Freezer section Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the PerfectFresh zone whilst 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 Make sure that no water can penetrate 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. To avoid damaging the surface of your appliance, do not use: – cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides, – cleaning agents containing descaling agents, – abrasive cleaning agents, e.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the interior and accessories ^ Clean the appliance at least once a month using lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. ^ Clean the interior shelves and drawers by hand. These are not suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher. ^ Clean the condensate channel and drain hole frequently, so that condensate can drain away unhindered. Use a straw or similar to clear the drain hole, if necessary.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the ice cube tray Ice cubes freeze in the ice cube tray and then drop into the ice cube drawer below. Clean the ice cube tray regularly with warm water and a little washing-up liquid to remove residual ice and water. The ice cube tray cannot be removed and must be cleaned in situ. You should also clean the ice cube maker before switching off the appliance for a long time (e.g. when going on holiday). The indicator light flashes slowly at first then quickly.
Cleaning and care After cleaning If you have used a solution of water and washing-up liquid to clean it, discard the ice cubes from the first three ice cube making processes, as they are not suitable for consumption. Ventilation gaps ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.
