Using the refrigerator compartment
For storage of cakes and pastries, ready meals, tinned food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables sensitive to the cold: tropical fruit, e.g. mandarins, bananas, pineapples, melons, avocados, papayas, passion fruit, aubergines, also fruit which requires further ripening, tomatoes, cucumbers, green tomatoes, potatoes.
When storing food, comply with the following:
The humidity drawer is covered by a special filter which allows the air to pass through but retains the humidity.
A high air humidity keeps leafy vegetables fresh for longer. Vegetables and fruit should be stored at a slightly lower air humidity.
The air humidity in the vegetable drawers depends on the amount of stored food.
If the air humidity is too high, drips may form and cause decay.
High air humidity
Regulator to left - ventilation opening is closed.
Low air humidity
Regulator to right - ventilation opening is open.
Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter “Customer service”).
Shelves
Pull shelf forwards, lower and swing out to the side.
Lift the door storage compartment and take it out.
The freezer compartment temperature can be set from -14 °C to -24 °C.
We recommend a setting of -18 °C.
Use the freezer compartment:
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always closed. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. Thefreezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: Energy will be lost due to high power consumption.
When the freezer compartment door is closed, a low pressure occurs, causing a sucking noise. Wait two to three minutes until the low pressure has adjusted itself.
Freezer calendar
The figures next to the symbols indicate the permitted storage period of the produce in months. When purchasing frozen produce, observe the date of manufacture or sell-by date.
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.
Freezing capacity
Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see chapter “Customer service”).
Packing food correctly:
The following products are not suitable for wrapping food:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, refuse bags and used shopping bags.
The following products are suitable for wrapping food:
Plastic film, polyethylene blown film, aluminium foil and freezer tins. These products can be purchased from your dealer.
The following products are suitable for sealing the wrapped food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape or similar. Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a film sealer.
Shelf life of frozen food

When purchasing frozen food, observe the following:
Depending on the type and appliacation, select one of the following options:
Note
Do not refreeze food which is beginning to thaw or which has already thawed. The food cannot be refrozen until it has been prepared (boiled or fried).
No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.
The following can be dispensed as required:
Attention!
Do not place bottles or food in the cube container in order to cool them quickly. The ice maker may block and be damaged.
Using the ice and water dispenser
The ice and water dispenser only works when the appliance is connected to the water mains.
When the appliance has been switched on, it takes approx. 24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are ready.
When the appliance has been connected, there are still air bubbles in the lines.
Run off drinking water and pour away until water can be dispensed without bubbles. Pour away the first 5 glasses.
When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use the first 30-40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene.
Operating the ice maker
When the freezer compartment has reached its freezing temperature, water flows into the ice maker and freezes into ice cubes. When the ice cubes are ready, they are automatically discharged into the ice cube container.
Occasionally the sides of the ice cubes stick together. When they are conveyed to the outlet opening, they usually break away from each other.
When the ice cube container is full, ice making switches off automatically.
The ice maker can make approx. 100 ice cubes within 24 hours.
When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and the falling ice cubes can be heard.
Observing drinking water quality
All materials used in the drinks dispenser are odourless and tasteless.
If the water has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:
Taste and odour of the water may be improved by installing the enclosed water filter in the water supply.
The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out of the supply water, not bacteria or microbes.
Dispensing ice/water
Dispensing water:
Tip:
The water from the water dispenser is cooled to a palatable temperature. If you would like the water colder, place ice cubes in the glass before dispensing the water.
Dispensing ice:
Disconnecting the ice maker
If ice cubes are not to be dispensed for longer than 1 week (e.g. holiday), temporarily disconnect the ice cube maker to prevent the ice cubes from freezing together.
Switching on the ice cube maker again:
Note
The description under the On/Off switch is for customer service only and can be ignored.
