Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
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  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and should be recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
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  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

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.  
. . . in the refrigerator and the  
PerfectFresh zone  
We recommend a temperature of 4 °C  
in the middle of the refrigerator.  
The temperature in the PerfectFresh  
zone is controlled automatically, and is  
maintained at 0 to 3 °C.

section are set independently of one  
another.  
When the highest or lowest  
temperature in the range is reached,  
the X or Y sensor disappears.  
Approx. 5 seconds after taking your  
finger off a sensor, the average,  
current temperature of the refrigerator  
or freezer section is automatically  
shown.  
^ Select the refrigerator or the freezer  
section.  
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, as it will take this long for the  
display 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.  
The "Refrigerator" symbol or the  
"Freezer" symbol will light up yellow.

– In the freezer section from -14 °C to  
-28 °C  
The temperature being set will flash in

The ambient temperature in the room  
and the installation location can affect  
the time it takes for the appliance to  
reach the lowest temperature. If the  
ambient temperature is too high, the  
appliance may not reach the lowest  
temperature.

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.

The coldest area in the refrigerator is  
directly above the PefectFresh zone.

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

Storing food in the refrigerator  
Food which is not suitable for

Storing food correctly  
Food should generally be stored  
covered or packaged in the refrigerator  
(there are some exceptions to this rule  
in the PerfectFresh zone - see below).  
This will prevent food smells from  
Not all food is suitable for storing in a  
refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C,

affecting other food, 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.  
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.

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.  
If the regulator is set at low humidity ,,

natural gas are:  
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,  
peaches, plums, avocados, figs,  
blueberries, melons and beans.  
Please note that foods rich in protein  
deteriorate faster than others.

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

^ 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.

When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer section, check  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use-by date,

reduced if it has been stored at a  
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.

lightly before freezing, but care  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Only freeze fresh food which is in a  
good condition.  
– 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

suitable allen key until mounting plate  
c lines up correctly.  
^ Then tighten all 4 screws b.

touch the door seal when the door is  
opened:

screws a until the mounting plate  
and the side section of the handle d  
are at the correct angle and the side  
section does not touch the door seal  
when the door is opened.

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.  
aTop box  
bAppliance  
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 cm2 to ensure that air can circulate  
without hindrance. Otherwise the  
appliance has to work harder, resulting  
in an increase in electricity  
consumption.
