Fig.
: The air on the rear panel and on the side panels of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation openings!
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance is switched on. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning the appliance”).
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely accessible following installation of the appliance.
Warning: Risk of electric shock!
If the length of the mains cable is inadequate, never use multiple sockets or extension leads. Instead, please contact Customer Service for alternatives.
The appliance complies with protection class I. Connect the appliance to 220– 240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed socket with protective conductor. The socket must be protected by a 10 A to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non European countries, check whether the indicated voltage and current type match the values of your electricity supply. This information can be found on the rating plate, Fig 
Warning: Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. 
To place the maximum amount of frozen food in the freezer compartment, you can remove the containers. You can then stack the food directly on the shelf and on the floor of the freezer compartment.
Note:
Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
Removing the fittings
Pull out the frozen food container all the way, lift at the front and remove. Fig. '
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.
Note: Do not block air outlet openings with food, 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.
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:
Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.
Fig.

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 drawer depends on the amount of stored food.
Note: If the air humidity is too high, drips may form and cause decay.
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: waste of energy due to high power consumption!
Information on the freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. Fig.
Note: Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen. If necessary, re-stack frozen food in the frozen food containers.
Insert frozen food container all the way to ensure unrestricted air circulation.
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.
Note: Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.
Suitable packaging:
Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium 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, coldresistant adhesive tape, etc.
Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene (PE) can be sealed with a film heat sealer.
Storage duration depends on the type of food.
At a temperature of -18 °C:
up to 6 months
up to 8 months
up to 12 months
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
The appliance runs constantly when super freezing has been switched on. The freezer compartment temperatures are much lower than in normal operation.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.
If the freezing capacity according to the rating plate is to be used, switch on super freezing 24 hours before the fresh products are placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”.
Note: When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.
Keep pressing the temperature selection button 1 until the Super display 2 is lit.
Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 2½ days.
Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options:
