Setting the temperature  
Setting the temperature in the  
refrigerator and freezer  
sections  
Temperature range  
The temperature can be selected within  
the following ranges:  
The refrigerator and freezer sections  
can be set independently of each other.  
– Refrigerator:  
36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C)  
^ Touch the access button "p" so it  
turns yellow.  
A temperature of 37°F (4°C) in the  
refrigerator section is recommended.  
– Freezer:  
7°F to -11°F (-14°C to -24°C).  
To freeze fresh food and store frozen  
food for an extended period of time, a  
temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is  
suggested.  
^ Touch the sensor button for the  
refrigerator or freezer section so it  
turns yellow.  
The room temperature and the  
installation location can affect the time it  
takes for the appliance to get to the  
desired temperature. If the room  
temperature is too high, it may not be  
possible for the appliance to reach the  
lowest temperature.  
^ Use the X and Y buttons next to the  
temperature display to set the  
temperature warmer or colder.  
Tap the X and Y sensor buttons to  
raise/lower the temperature 1°, or hold  
them down to move through the  
temperature range more quickly.  
The temperature display on the  
control panel always shows the  
desired temperature.  
When 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, as it  
will take this long for the appliance to  
reach the temperature. If, after this  
time, the temperature is still too high or  
too low, you will need to adjust it again.

SmartFresh drawers  
The SmartFresh drawers provide the  
right combination of temperature and  
humidity. The result is freshness up to  
three times longer than in the other  
zones of the refrigerator.  
Using the SmartFresh drawers  
^ Use the sensor button to select the  
Storage temperatures  
desired drawer.  
For fresh foods that are not adversely  
affected by cold, the best range is  
32° - 37°F (0° - 3°C). This helps to keep  
the food fresh considerably longer than  
in the rest of the refrigerator, spoiling is  
minimal.  
The selected sensor button turns  
yellow, and the sensor buttons for the  
food choices appear.  
The most recently selected food type(s)  
appear yellow.  
Humidity  
The level of humidity in the SmartFresh  
drawers is dependent on:  
^ Use the sensor buttons to select the  
desired food type(s), so they appear  
yellow.  
– the moisture content of the stored  
food, and  
– Several food types can be selected  
at the same time.  
– the quantity of food stored.  
The closer the humidity in the appliance  
matches the moisture content of the  
food, the more moisture the food will  
retain, and the fresher and crisper it will  
stay over a longer period of time.  
– To delete a food type, simply press it  
again.  
– Depending on the food types  
selected, the optimal humidity is  
determined for the crispers.  
– The "deli" and "dairy" settings are the  
most energy efficient.  
^ Touch the access button "p" to  
confirm the settings.  
^ Place the food in the drawer.

SmartFresh drawers  
For optimal storage conditions, it is  
always best to store similar foods  
together in one crisper.  
Foods that are best stored under dry  
conditions  
– fresh fish and shellfish, meats,  
poultry, sausage, dairy products and  
deli salads.  
Foods that are best stored under  
moist conditions  
– fresh produce, e.g., vegetables,  
lettuce, herbs, mushrooms,  
cabbage, fruit.  
Remember that higher moisture levels  
can only be attained when the food is  
stored unpacked so air can circulate  
freely.

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Different storage zones  
– fresh bread dough, pastry dough,  
cake batters,  
Due to the natural circulation of 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  
these different zones when placing  
food in the appliance.  
– dairy products.  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
This appliance uses a dynamic  
cooling feature to establish a  
constant temperature during  
cooling. As a result, the differences  
between temperature zones are less  
pronounced.  
If storing high-proof alcohol, make  
sure it is tightly closed and stored  
upright.  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can  
cause stress cracks to occur in the  
plastic components in the door.  
Leave some space between items, so  
air can circulate freely around them.  
Make sure the ventilation slits are not  
covered - this is important for the  
cooling performance.  
Do not allow food to touch the rear  
wall of the appliance, it may freeze  
to the wall.  
Warmest area  
To allow air to circulate efficiently,  
do not pack food too closely  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door (storage shelf). Use this  
area to store items such as butter and  
cheese.  
together in the refrigerator. Do not  
cover the fan in the rear wall of the  
refrigerator, as this is essential for  
keeping the appliance cool.  
Coldest area  
The coldest area in the refrigerator is  
directly above the SmartFresh drawers.  
The temperature in the drawers  
themselves is even colder.  
Use these cold areas in the refrigerator  
for all highly perishable foods, such as:  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
– deli meats, store-bought meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing

Using the freezer efficiently  
Freezing food  
Placing food in the freezer  
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly  
as possible. This helps maintain the  
nutritional value, vitamin content,  
appearance and taste of the food.  
Food to be frozen can be placed  
anywhere in the freezer section.  
Use the large freezer basket for large  
quantities of food.  
Never refreeze partially or fully  
Load bearing capacity of the baskets:  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible, it will lose its  
nutritional value and spoil if left for too  
long. Do not refreeze defrosted food  
unless it has been cooked.

^ Spread the food to be frozen across  
the bottom of the freezer basket or  
across the shelves, so that it will  
freeze through to the core as quickly  
as possible.  
This will provide the food already in  
the freezer with a protective boost of  
cold air.  
^ When placing items in the freezer,  
make sure the packaging and  
containers are dry, to keep them from  
sticking together when frozen.  
When freezing, make sure that  
already frozen food does not come  
into contact with fresh food being  
frozen, this could cause the frozen  
food to defrost.

observe proper hygiene when  
defrosting poultry. Never save the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Drain it away  
and promptly wash the container, the

SuperCool  
When the SuperCool function is  
activated, the appliance is cooled as  
quickly as possible (to a factory-preset  
temperature).  
Refrigerator: 35°F (2°C)  
Freezer: -22°F (-30°C)  
The temperature in the appliance now  
begins to fall, with maximum cooling in  
the zone selected.  
SuperCool  
Switching off SuperCool  
When used with the refrigerator the  
SuperCool function is ideal for the rapid  
cooling of drinks and refrigerating large  
quantities of food.  
The SuperCool function automatically  
switches off after:  
Refrigerator: approx. 6 hours  
Freezer:  
approx. 52 hours  
When used with the freezer the  
SuperCool function is ideal for freezing  
large quantities of unfrozen food. The  
function should be switched on 4-6  
hours before the fresh food is placed in  
the freezer.  
The sensor button turns white, and the  
appliance continues running at normal  
power.  
To save energy, the SuperCool function  
can be switched off early, once the  
food and/or drinks are sufficiently  
chilled.  
If the max. freezing capacity is used,  
24 hours are recommended.  
This helps food to freeze quickly and  
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavor and  
appearance.  
Switching on SuperCool  
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor button  
so that it turns white.  
The temperature display for the zone  
selected returns to the original  
temperature setting.  
^ Touch the sensor for the refrigerator  
or freezer (as desired) so it turns  
yellow.

Ice cube maker  
Once the ice cube container is full, the  
ice cube maker switches off  
automatically.  
For the automatic ice cube maker to  
operate, it must be connected to the  
household water supply. See  
"Plumbing".  
Do not use the ice cube container  
for rapid cooling of food or drinks.  
The ice cube maker may become  
blocked and be damaged.  
Turning on the ice cube maker  
^ Make sure that the ice cube  
container is under the ice cube  
maker, as far as possible.  
Do not use the first three containers  
of ice cubes from the ice cube  
maker.  
Ice cubes will not be produced unless  
the container is completely closed.  
Discard the ice produced in the first  
24 hours after switching on the ice  
cube maker.  
This applies for the very first use,  
and whenever the appliance has  
been out of service for an extended  
period of time.  
^ Touch the sensor button for the ice  
cube maker so that it turns yellow.  
As soon as the freezer has cooled to a  
freezing temperature, the ice cube  
container fills with water. Cold air is  
blown directly over the container.  
The amount of ice cubes produced  
depends on the temperature in the  
freezer section. The lower the  
temperature, the more ice cubes will be  
produced in a given period of time.  
As soon as the ice cubes are frozen,  
they fall into the ice cube container.  
Turning off the ice cube maker  
The ice cube maker can produce  
approx. 140 ice cubes within 24 hours.  
Note: Ice production will vary due to  
your water source temperature,  
pressure and hardness.  
The water supply line must be shut  
off several hours before the  
appliance or ice cube maker is  
switched off.  
The production volume of the ice  
depends on the temperature in the  
freezer. The lower the temperature the  
more ice cubes produced.  
After the appliance is turned on for the  
very first time, it can take up to 10 hours  
for the first ice cubes to drop out of the  
ice cube maker and collect in the  
container.  
^ Touch the sensor button for the ice  
cube maker so that it turns white.

Installing the appliance  
Securing an alternative anti-tip  
device  
– The beam must cover the appliance  
by at least 2" (50.8 mm).  
^ Mark the installation height (lower  
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of  
the niche.  
^ Select screws according to the  
thickness of the wooden beam.  
Example: 3 ½" (89 mm) screw for 2x4  
beam.  
Determine the number of screws  
based on the cavity width, to ensure  
that the beam will be attached  
securely.  
^ Locate wall studs near the rear wall  
of the cavity and mark drill holes in  
the beam.  
^ Pre-drill the wooden beam.  
^ Attach the wooden beam to the rear  
wall of the niche.  
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be  
attached securely, an alternative  
anti-tip device can be used.  
Now prepare the water connection  
from the appliance to the main  
supply line (see "Plumbing").  
Ensure that there is no "give" between  
the appliance and the anti-tip device.  
If possible, always screw the  
wooden beam to existing studs.  
^ Cut a wooden beam  
(cross section min. 3" x 4"  
[75 mm x 100 mm]) to the required  
length.  
– The length is equal to the width of  
the installation niche.  
– If the installation niche is deeper than  
the appliance, select a beam with a  
larger cross section, or attach two  
beams.
