Refrigerator Compartment
When Purchasing Food, Please Note:
The freshness at point of purchase is important for the shelf-life of your food.
In principle, the fresher the produce when placed in the “Cool-Fresh” Container, the longer it stays fresh. Therefore, when buying food, always pay attention to the degree of freshness.
Observe the expiration date specified by the manufacturer for ready products and bottled products.
Arranging Food in the Appliance
- Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This will retain the aroma, color and freshness of the food. In addition, flavors will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discolored.
- Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
- Do not block air outlet openings with food in the refrigerator compartment, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.
- Avoid contact of oil and fat with the plastic parts and door seal.
Super Cooling
Super cooling cools the Refrigerator Compartment as cold as possible for approx. 6 hours. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode.
Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.
- Before placing large quantities of food in the refrigerator compartment
- For fast cooling drinks:
Switching On
Press the COOL SUPER Button.
The display panel indicates the symbol “SUPER¾” and the compartment for which the function was switched On.
Switching Off
Press the COOL SUPER Button.

The “Cool-Fresh” Container has a temperature of almost 32 °F (0 °C). Ideal for storing fish, meat, sausage, cheese and milk.
The temperature in the “Cool-Fresh” Container can be reduced slightly with the slide control.
We recommend the following controller position:
- COLD: Meat, sausage and poultry
- COLDER: Fish
Freezer Compartment
Using the Freezer Compartment
To store deep-frozen food.
To make ice cubes.
To freeze food.
Note: Ensure that the Freezer Compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The Freezer Compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also, energy is wasted due to high power consumption!
Freezing and Storing Food
Purchasing Frozen Food
- Packaging must not be damaged.
- Use by the “expiration” date.
- Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.
- If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place immediately in the Freezer Compartment.
Freezing Fresh Food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and color, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Eggplants, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.
Note: Keep food that is to be frozen away from food that is already frozen.
- The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, and ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
- The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables that are usually consumed raw such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.
Packing Frozen Food
To prevent food from losing its flavor or drying out, place in airtight containers.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.
Suitable Packaging:
Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminum foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets.
Unsuitable Packaging:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.
Items Suitable for Sealing Packaged Food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc. Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer.
Shelf Life of Frozen Food
Depends on the type of food.
At a temperature of 0 °F (-18 °C):
- Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months
- Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months
- Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months
Super Freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavor.
To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the Freezer Compartment, switch On super freezing several hours beforehand. As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate. 24 hours are necessary when using the maximum freezer capacity fully.
