could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it

with your household waste.

The transport and protective packing

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your dealer for

advice. Ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Take care not to damage the pipework

at the back of it before or during

transportation to an authorised

collection depot.

In this way, refrigerant in the pipework

and oil in the compressor will be

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.

Dynamic cooling

The dynamic cooling fan automatically

switches on when the cooling system

for the refrigerator switches on. It

distributes the temperature in the

appliance to all areas evenly so that all

the food will be chilled to about the

same degree.

The temperature in the appliance will

rise:

. . . in the freezer section

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen

food for a long time, a temperature of

-18 °C is required. At this temperature

the growth of micro-organisms is

generally halted. As soon as the

– the more often the door is opened

and the longer it is kept open,

– the more food that is stored in it,

– the warmer the food is which is being

put into it,

temperature rises above -10 °C, the

micro-organisms become active in the

food again so that it cannot be kept as

long. For this reason, partially defrosted

or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.

Food may be re-frozen once it has

been cooked, as the high temperatures

achieved when cooking destroy most

micro-organisms.

– the higher the ambient temperature

surrounding the appliance.

The appliance is designed for use in

specific ambient temperatures

(climate ranges). Do not use in

ambient temperatures for which it is

not designed.

Storing food in the refrigerator

Different storage zones

– pre-packed vegetables and other

fresh food with a label stating it

should be kept at a temperature of

approx. 4 °C.

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.

Do not store explosive materials in

the appliance or any products

containing propellants (e.g. spray

cans). Danger of explosion.

This appliance has automatic

dynamic cooling, which helps to

keep an even temperature when the

fan is running, making the difference

between the various zones less

pronounced.

If storing alcohol with a high

percentage proof, make sure it is

tightly closed, and store 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.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section

of the door. Use this for storing butter

and cheese.

Food must not touch the back wall of

the refrigerator, as it may freeze to

the back wall.

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator is

directly above the PefectFresh zone.

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.

Use these areas in the refrigerator and

in the PerfectFresh zone for all delicate

and highly perishable food, e.g.

– fish, meat, poultry,

– sausage products, ready meals,

– dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream,

– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or

quiche dough,

– soft cheese and other dairy

products,

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.

Food which is sensitive to cold

includes:

Unpacked meat and vegetables

– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,

pomegranates, mangos, melons,

papayas, passion fruit,

Unpackaged meat and vegetables

should be stored separately. To avoid

any microbiological

citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges,

mandarins, grapefruit),

cross-contamination, these foods may

only be stored together if they are

wrapped.

– Fruit which is not yet ripe

– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumbers,

potatoes, peppers/capiscum,

tomatoes, courgettes/zucchini,

– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan

When shopping for food

The freshness of food when first placed

in the appliance is an important factor

in determining how long it stays fresh,

and how long it can be kept in the

refrigerator. Time out of the refrigerator,

e.g. during transportation, should be

kept to a minimum. For example, do not

allow food to stay in a hot car for too

long. Once food has started to

deteriorate, this process cannot be

reversed. As little as two hours outside

the refrigerator can cause food to start

deteriorating.

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 PerfectFresh zone.

^ Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh zone

(see "Food which is not suitable for storing in the refrigerator")

^ Bear in mind that not all types of food can be stored together (see "Can all types

of food be stored together?").

^ Select the correct PerfectFresh compartment (high or low humidity).

^ Store food unwrapped in the high humidity PerfectFresh compartment.

High humidity in the PerfectFresh compartment can only be achieved by storing

food which contains moisture in it.

If the humidity is not high enough, because, for example, too little food has been

stored in the compartment, you can use a wet sponge to increase the humidity.

^ If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is too high or too low,

try regulating it via the refrigerator section by altering the temperature of the

refrigerator section slightly by 1 to 2 °C.

The temperature must be increased if ice crystals start to form on the floor of the

PerfectFresh zone as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.

^ If a lot of water has gathered on the base of the PerfectFresh zone, dry the base

with a towel. Drain food before storage or place a rack on the floor of the

PerfectFresh zone and place the food on the rack so that the moisture can drip

down.

temperature warmer than -18 °C.

^ Buy frozen food once you have

finished the rest of your shopping,

and wrap it in newspaper or use a

cool bag or cool box to transport it.

Freezing fresh food

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.

^ Store it in the freezer as soon as

possible.

Never re-freeze partially or fully

defrosted food. Consume defrosted

food as soon as possible as it will

lose its nutritional value and spoil if

left for too long. Defrosted food may

only be re-frozen after it has been

cooked.

Food which takes a long time to freeze

will lose more water from its cells, which

then shrink.

During the defrosting process, only

some of this water is reabsorbed by the

cells; the rest collects around the food.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have

less time to lose moisture, so they

shrink less. As there is not so much

moisture loss, it is easier for the food to

reabsorb it during the defrosting

process, and very little water collects

around the defrosted food.

– Do not place hot foods or drinks in

the freezer. This causes already

frozen food to thaw, and increases

the energy consumption

Hints on home freezing

– The following types of food are

suitable for freezing:

considerably. Allow hot foods and

drinks to cool down before placing

them in the freezer.

Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,

vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy

products, pastry, leftovers, egg

yolks, egg whites and a range of

pre-cooked meals.

Packing

^ Freeze food in portions.

– The following types of food are not

suitable for freezing:

Unsuitable packing material

- wrapping paper

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour

cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their

shells, onions, whole raw apples and

pears.

- bin bags

– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,

vegetables should be blanched after

they have been trimmed and

washed.

- plastic carrier bags

Suitable packing material

- plastic freezer film

- freezer bags

To blanch: bring a large saucepan of

water to the boil, immerse the

vegetables in the fast boiling water

for 2-3 minutes, depending on

variety. Remove, and plunge into

ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain

and pack ready for freezing.

- aluminium foil

- freezer containers

^ Expel as much air as possible from

bags etc. before sealing them, to

prevent freezer-burn on food.

^ Close the packaging tightly with

- rubber bands

– Lean meat freezes better than fatty

meat, and can be stored for

considerably longer.

- plastic clips

- string or bag ties

- freezer tape.

– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or

rolled meat from freezing together in

solid blocks when packed, separate

with a sheet of plastic freezer film.

Freezer bags may also be sealed

using home heat sealing kits.

Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer

section

When freezing, make sure that food

already frozen does not come into

contact with fresh food being frozen

as this could cause the frozen food

to begin to defrost.

^ 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").

Freezing large items

This also helps to prevent food that is

already in the freezer from starting to

defrost.

If you wish to freeze large items such

as a turkey or game, the glass cold

plates between the drawers can be

removed. To do this:

Placing food in the freezer section

Food to be frozen can be placed

anywhere in the freezer.

^ Remove the freezer drawers and

carefully slide out the glass cold

plates.

Large quantities should be placed

directly on the glass cold plates to

freeze the food quickly. To do this take

out the freezer drawers, leaving the

bottom drawer in the appliance. The

lowest freezer drawer must always

remain in the appliance.

Freezer calendar

The freezer calendar on the freezer

drawer gives the length of time in

months which various foods can be

stored for effectively.

When removing the top drawers, make

sure that you do not block the

ventilation slits in the back wall of the

appliance. They are important for

trouble-free operation of the appliance.

Each drawer and each of the glass

cold plates can be loaded with a

maximum of 25 kg.

^ Place the food flat in the bottom of

the freezer drawers or on the glass

cold plates so that it freezes through

to the core as quickly as possible.

2-3 months:

Cakes, ice cream, stew

3-5 months:

Fish, mushrooms, bread

^ Make sure that the packaging and

containers are dry to prevent them

sticking together when frozen.

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.

– in a microwave oven,

– in an oven using the "Fan" or

"Defrost" setting,

– at room temperature,

– in the refrigerator (the cold given off

by the frozen food helps to keep the

other food cold),

Cool pack

The cool pack prevents the

temperature in the freezer rising too

quickly in the event of a power cut.

– in a steam oven.

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. Danger of

salmonella poisoning.

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.

Fruit should be defrosted at room

temperature in its packaging, or in a

covered bowl.

When placing fresh food in the freezer,

use the cool pack to separate the fresh

food from the food which is already

frozen so that the frozen food does not

begin to thaw.

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 due to changes in the cell

structure.

The cool pack can also be used in a

cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for

a short period of time.

Never re-freeze partially or fully

defrosted food. Consume defrosted

food as soon as possible as it will

lose its nutritional value and spoil if

left for too long. Defrosted food may

only be re-frozen after it has been

cooked.

Making ice cubes

For the automatic ice cube maker to

operate it must be connected to the

mains water supply.

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.

Switching on the ice cube

maker

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).

^ Switch on the freezer section.

Making a large amount of ice cubes

The amount of ice cubes which the

appliance makes depends on the

temperature in the freezer section. The

lower the temperature, the more ice

cubes are produced within a certain

time frame.

Ice cube production is halted

automatically as soon as the ice cube

drawer is full.

^ Pull out the ice cube drawer a little

way.

^ Press the On/Off button a on the ice

cube maker. The indicator light will

come on.

If you require a large amount of ice

cubes,

^ replace the full ice cube drawer with

the drawer beside it on the right.

^ Close the ice cube drawer.

The drawer must be completely shut

for ice cubes to be produced.

The ice cube maker will begin to

produce ice cubes again as soon as

this new drawer has been placed in

position and closed properly.

After the appliance is switched on for

the first time it can take up to 24 hours

for the first ice cubes to drop out of the

ice cube maker and collect in the

drawer.

Thereafter, when the ice cube maker is

switched off and then on again it will

take up to a maximum of 6 hours for ice

cubes to be produced.

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. In order to produce larger ice

cubes, the water intake time for the ice

cube maker needs to be prolonged.

^ Switch the ice cube maker on.

^ Press the On/Off button on the ice

cube maker until the indicator light

goes out.

^ Touch and leave your finger on the X

sensor.

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.

Clean the ice cube tray if the ice

cube maker is going to be switched

off for a long period of time.

Defrosting

Refrigerator section and

PerfectFresh zone

Freezer section

This appliance is equipped with a "Frost

free" system. The freezer section

defrosts automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on

the back wall of the refrigerator section

and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use.

You do not need to remove this, as it

will defrost and evaporate automatically

with the warmth generated by the

appliance.

The moisture generated in the

appliance collects on the condenser

and is automatically defrosted and

dissipated by the condenser from time

to time.

The condensate is drained away via a

channel and drain hole into an

evaporation system at the back of the

appliance.

This automatic defrosting system

enables the freezer section to remain

permanently ice-free, however, the food

stored in the freezer section will not

defrost.

Ensure that the condensate channel

and drain hole are kept clean and

are never blocked so that

condensate can flow away without

hindrance.

Building in the appliance

The air inlet and outlet must not be

covered or blocked in any way.

They should be dusted on a regular

basis.

When built into a kitchen run (max.

depth 580 mm) the appliance can be

installed directly next to a kitchen

furniture housing unit. The appliance

door will protrude in front of furniture

fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by

55 mm in the middle of the door. This

enables the doors to be opened and

shut without being obstructed.

When installed next to a wall d a

distance of approx. 55 mm must be

maintained on the hinge side between

the wall d and the appliance b, so

that the doors and the handles have

sufficient space for opening.

cHousing unit

dWall

The appliance can be installed in a

kitchen run. To match the height of the

rest of the kitchen, the appliance can

be fitted with a suitable top box a.

A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm

depth must be allowed for behind the

appliance across the entire width of the

top box for air to circulate.

The cross section of the air outlet under

the room ceiling must be at least

300 cm²to ensure that air can circulate

without hindrance. Otherwise the

appliance has to work harder, resulting

in an increase in electricity

consumption.
