Preventing material damage
Preventing material dam-
age
Follow these instructions to prevent
material damage to your appliance,
accessories or other objects in your
kitchen.
ATTENTION!
¡ Contamination with oil or fat may
cause plastic parts and door seals
to become porous.
▶
Keep plastic parts and door
seals free of oil and grease.

▶
Do not stand or support yourself
on the base, runners or doors.
Environmental protection and saving energy
Environmental protection
and saving energy
Help protect the environment by us-
ing your appliance in a way that con-
serves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.
Information about current disposal
methods are available from your
specialist dealer or local authority.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Selecting the installation
location
Follow these instructions when in-
stalling your appliance.
¡ Keep the appliance out of direct
sunlight.
¡ Install the appliance as far away
as possible from heating ele-
ments, cookers and other heat
sources:
– Maintain a 30mm clearance to
electric or gas cookers.
– Maintain a 30cm clearance to
oil or solid-fuel cookers.
The appliance needs to cool less
frequently at low ambient temper-
atures.
¡ Use a niche depth of 560mm.
¡ Do not cover or block ventilation
openings.
¡ Ventilate the room daily.
The air on the back wall of the ap-
pliance does not warm up so in-
tensely.
The appliance must cool less fre-
quently.
Saving energy during use
Follow these instructions when using
your appliance.
Note:The arrangement of the fittings
does not affect the energy consump-
tion of the appliance.
¡ Do not cover or block ventilation
openings.
The air on the back wall of the ap-
pliance does not warm up so in-
tensely.
en Installation and connection
14
¡ Open the appliance door only
briefly.
¡ Transport purchased food in a
cool bag and place in the appli-
ance quickly.
¡ Allow warm food and drinks to
cool down before placing them in
the appliance.
¡ Thaw frozen food in the refriger-
ator compartment to utilise the low
temperature of the food.
The air in the appliance does not
warm up so intensely.
The appliance must cool less fre-
quently.
¡ Always leave some space
between the food and to the back
panel.
¡ Pack the food airtight.
The air can circulate and the air
humidity remains constant.
¡ Defrost the freezer compartment
regularly.
A frost-free freezer compartment is
power-saving and cools the frozen
food optimally.
¡ Only open the freezer compart-
ment door briefly and then care-
fully close it.
A closed freezer compartment
door protects the freezer compart-
ment against severe icing.

The air humidity in the fruit and
vegetable container can be set
according to the type and amount of
food to be stored:
¡ Low humidity required when
primarily storing fruit or if the appli-
ance is very full.
¡ Higher humidity required when
primarily storing vegetables as well
as when the appliance is filled with
mixed items or is not very full.
Condensation may form in the fruit
and vegetable container depending
on the food and quantity stored.
Remove the condensation with a dry
cloth and adjust the air humidity us-
ing the humidity controller.
To ensure that the quality and aroma
are retained, store fruit and veget-
ables that are sensitive to cold out-
side of the appliance at temperatures
of approx. 8°C to 12°C.
Fruit that is sensitive
to cold
¡ Pineapples
¡ Bananas
¡ Mangoes
¡ Papayas
¡ Citrus fruits
Vegetables that are
sensitive to cold
¡ Aubergines
¡ Gherkins
¡ Courgettes
¡ Peppers
¡ Tomatoes

You can keep dairy products, eggs,
ready meals, pastries, open pre-
serves and hard cheese in the refri-
gerator compartment.
You can set the temperature in the
refrigerator compartment from 3°C
to 8°C.
The recommended temperature in
the refrigerator compartment is 4°C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
Tips for storing food in the refri-
gerator compartment
Follow the tips if you store food in
your refrigerator compartment.
¡ To ensure that the freshness and
quality of the food is retained for
longer, only store fresh and un-
spoiled food.
en Cool-fresh compartment
20
¡ In the case of ready-made
products and bottled goods, do
not exceed the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
¡ To retain aroma, colour and fresh-
ness or to prevent taste transfer
and discolouration of the plastic
parts, store food well wrapped or
covered.
¡ Leave warm food and beverages
to cool down before placing them
in the refrigerator compartment.
Chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is on the partition
and in the door rack for large bottles.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tips
¡ Store food that does not spoil eas-
ily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can
then continue to release its aroma
and the butter will still be easy to
spread.
¡ Store perishable food such as fish,
sausages and meat in the cool-
fresh compartment.
→"Cool-fresh compartment",
Page20
Cool-fresh compartment
Cool-fresh compartment
In the cool-fresh compartment, you
can keep fresh food fresh three times
longer than in the refrigerator com-
partment.
The temperature in the cool-fresh
compartment is kept at around 0°C.
Storing food in the fresh compart-
ment retains the quality of the food
better. The low temperature and the
optimum moisture provide ideal stor-
age conditions for fresh food.
Storage times in the cool-fresh
compartment at 0°C
The storage times are dependent on
the original quality of your food.

Freezer compartment en
21
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on various factors:
¡ Set temperature
¡ Food (size and type)
¡ Quantity and type of storage
¡ Quantity and type of food already
stored
Freezer compartment door
To ensure that the frozen food that is
stored does not thaw and the freezer
compartment is not covered in too
much ice, always close the freezer
compartment door.
The position of the handle on the
freezer compartment door indicates
whether or not the freezer compart-
ment is correctly closed.
Note:When you close the freezer
compartment door, you can hear it
engaging.
Freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity indic-
ates the quantity of food that can be
frozen right through to the centre
within a specific period of time.
Information on the maximum freezing
capacity can be found on the rating

compartment
The refrigerator compartment in your
appliance defrosts automatically.
Defrosting in the cool-fresh
compartment
The cool-fresh compartment in your
appliance defrosts automatically.
Defrosting in the freezer com-
partment
As the frozen food must not start
thawing, the freezer compartment
does not defrost automatically. A
layer of hoarfrost in the freezer com-
partment impairs refrigeration of the
frozen food and increases power
consumption.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer com-
partment.
1. Switch on the Super function ap-
prox. fourhours before defrosting.
→"Switching on Super function",
Page19
This means that the food reaches
very low temperatures and it can
be stored for longer at room tem-
perature.
2. Remove the frozen food and tem-
porarily place it in a cool location.
Place ice packs (if available) on
the frozen food.
