Setting the temperature9

We recommend:9

■ Perishable food should not be stored above +4 °C.9

■ Low setting for short-term storage of food (energy-saving mode).9

■ Medium setting for long-term storage of food.9

■ Select a higher setting only temporarily, when the door is frequently opened or large quantities are placed in the refrigerator compartment.9

■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.10

■ In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best- before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.10

■ To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.10

■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.10

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment10

■ Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the glass shelf situated below. Fig. #10

Note10

Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.10

■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.10

Note10

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.10

■ To store deep-frozen food.11

■ To make ice cubes.11

■ To freeze food.11

■ Packaging must not be damaged.11

■ Use by the “use by” date.11

■ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower.11

■ If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.11

■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room! The appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).15

If required, use an insulating plate.15

■ Select 560 mm cavity depth.15

A smaller cavity depth will result in a higher energy consumption.15

■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.15

■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food.15

■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible.15

■ Regularly defrost the freezer compartment to remove the layer of frost.15

■ To avoid increased power consumption, occasionally clean the back of the appliance.15

■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance.15

■ Power failure.17
