7.2 Operating tips
¡ Once you have switched on the
appliance, the set temperature is
only reached after several hours.
Do not put any food in the appli-
ance until the set temperature has
been reached.
¡ The front panels of the housing are
temporarily heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area
of the door seal.
¡ When you close the door, a va-
cuum may be created. The door is
then difficult to open again. Wait a
moment until the vacuum is offset.
¡ The temperature in the appliance
varies due to the following condi-
tions:
– How often the appliance is
opened
– Load capacity
– Temperature of newly stored
food
– Ambient temperature
– Direct sunlight
7.3 Switching off the appli-
ance
▶ Press and hold 3sec. for

Refrigerator compartment
10 Refrigerator compart-
ment
Refrigerator compartment
You can keep meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com-
partment.
The temperature can be set from
2°C to 8°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.
10.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compart-
ment
¡ Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡ Store food covered or in air-tight
packaging.
¡ To avoid impeding the circulation
of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food so that
it has direct contact with the back
wall.
¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
¡ Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
10.2 Chill zones in the refri-
gerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the storage
container.
Freezer compartment en
21
Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily 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.
Freezer compartment
11 Freezer compartment
Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature can be set from
−16°C to −24°C.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
11.1 Freezing capacity
The freezing capacity indicates the
quantity of food that can be frozen
right through to the centre within a
specific period of time.
Information on freezing capacity can
be found on the rating plate. →"Appli-
ance", Fig. 1 /
6
, Page14
Prerequisites for freezing capacity
1. Approx. 24 hours before placing
fresh food in the appliance, switch
on Super freezing.
→"Switching on manual Super
freezing", Page18
2. Place food in the bottom frozen
food container first, starting from
the right-hand side.
11.2 Fully utilising the freezer
compartment volume
Learn how to store the maximum
amount of frozen food in the freezer
compartment.
1. Remove all fittings from the freezer
compartment. →Page23
2. Store food directly on the shelves
and on the floor of the freezer
compartment.
11.3 Tips for storing food in
the freezer compartment
¡ Store food in air-tight packaging.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
¡ Place thefood over thewhole area
ofthefrozen food containers.
¡ To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.
11.4 Tips for freezing fresh
food
¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡ Freeze food in portions.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable than
food that can be eaten raw.
¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and
blanch before freezing.
¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.
¡ Food that is suitable for freezing in-
cludes baked items, fish and sea-
food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.

¡ Food that is unsuitable for freezing
includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in
shells, grapes, raw apples and
pears, yoghurt, sour cream, crème
fraîche and mayonnaise.
Packing frozen food
If you select suitable packaging ma-
terial and the correct type of pack-
aging, you can determine the product
quality and prevent freezer burn.
1. Place the food in the packaging.
2. Squeeze out the air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it
from losing flavour and drying out.
4. Label the packaging with the con-
tents and the date of freezing.
11.5 Shelf life of frozen food
at −18°C
Food Storage time
Fish, sausages, pre-
pared meals and
baked goods
up to
6months
Poultry, meat up to
8months
Vegetables, fruit up to
12months
The imprinted freezer calendar indic-
ates the maximum storage duration
in months at a constant temperature
of –18°C.
11.6 Defrosting methods for
frozen food
CAUTION
Risk of harm to health!
During the thawing process, bacteria
may multiply and spoil the frozen
food.
▶ Do not refreeze food after it has
been defrosted or started to de-
frost.
▶ Refreeze food only after cooking.
▶ These items should no longer be
stored for the maximum storage
period.
¡ Defrost animal-based food, such
as fish, meat, cheese, quark, in the
refrigerator compartment.
¡ Defrost bread at room temperat-
ure.
¡ Prepare food for immediate con-
sumption in the microwave, in the
oven, or on the hob.

has defrosted and is hotter than
5°C.
– Cook or fry slightly thawed
frozen food, and then either con-
sume it or freeze it again.
