Device) and (seeWiFi)

Note

The manufacturer recommends:

► Stock with food: Wait for around 6 hours until the set

temperature is reached.

► Store frozen foods at -18°C or colder.*

► Observe the notes on storing food. (see 5.1 Information

regarding storage)

Note

5 Storage

5.1 Information regarding storage

WARNING

Fire hazard from electrical appliances!

If you use electrical appliances in the food area of your

appliance, they can cause a fire.

► Do not use electrical appliances in the food area of the

appliance unless recommended by the manufacturer.

Note

The energy consumption increases and the cooling power

goes down if ventilation is not sufficient.

► Always keep air slots clear.

Observe the following specifications for storage:

Keep the air vents on the fan free.

In the freezer compartment: Package food properly.*

Package or cover foods that readily take on or give off

odours or taste in closed containers.

Package raw meat or fish in clean, closed containers.

This will prevent meat or fish from touching or dripping

onto other food.

Keep liquids in closed containers.

Leave space between goods to ensure good air circula‐

tion.

Store food according to the instructions on the pack‐

aging.

Always observe the best-before date indicated on the

packaging.

Note

Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to foodstuffs

spoiling.

5.2 Fridge compartment

The air circulation in the appliance creates different temper‐

ature zones. You will find the different temperature zones in

the appliance and equipment overview. (see 2.2 Overview of

the appliance and features)

5.2.1 Arranging your food properly

► Upper area and door: Store butter, cheese, tinned food

and tubes.

► Coldest temperature zone: Store perishable foods such

as pre-cooked meals.

5.3 BioFresh

BioFresh will extend the storage time for some fresh foods

compared to traditional refrigeration.

Note

If the temperature drops below 0°C foods may freeze.

► Store cold-sensitive produce such as cucumbers, auber‐

gines, courgettes and tropical fruit in the fridge compart‐

ment.

5.3.1 Fruit & Vegetable safe

This safe creates a storage climate of close to 0 °C. The

compartment lid ensures constant levels of humidity. This

storage climate is suitable for storing unpackaged food with

high intrinsic moisture (for example, lettuce, vegetables,

fruit).

The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture

content of the chilled goods placed in it, and also depends

on how often the compartment is opened. You can regulate

the humidity level.

Arranging your food properly

► Store unpackaged fruit and vegetables.

If the humidity is too high:

► Regulate the humidity.

Putting into operation

8 * Depending on model and options

5.3.2 Meat & Dairy safe

This safe creates a storage climate of close to 0 °C. This

storage climate is suitable for more sensitive foods (e.g.

dairy products, meat, fish, sausage).

Arranging your food properly

► Store dry or packaged food.

5.4 ****-freezer compartment*

Here, a dry, frosty storage climate is created at -18 °C. The

frosty storage climate is suitable for storing frozen food for

several months, for making ice cubes or freezing fresh food.

The air temperature in the freezer compartment, measured

with a thermometer or other measuring device, may fluc‐

tuate. Temperature fluctuations are greater in a half-full

or empty freezer and it is possible to attain temperatures

warmer than -18°C.

5.4.1 Freezing food

The maximum amount of fresh food that you can

freeze within 24 hours is specified on the type plate

(see 10.5 Model plate) under “Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”.

To ensure that food quickly freezes through, adhere to the

following quantities per package:

Fruit and vegetables up to 1 kg

Meat up to 2.5 kg

Arranging your food properly

CAUTION

Risk of injury due to broken glass!

Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being

frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks.

► Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!

► For maximum freezing performance: Remove glass plate

before freezing.*

► Place packaged food in the freezer compartment.

Defrosting food

WARNING

Risk of food poisoning!

► Do not re-freeze thawed food.

► Use defrosted foodstuff as soon as possible.

You can defrost food in several ways:

In the fridge compartment

In the microwave

In the oven/fan-assisted oven

At room temperature

► Take out only as much food as necessary.

5.5 Storage times

Refer to the specified storage times as a guide.

6 Saving energy

Pay attention to good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation

holes or grids.

Always keep the fan air slits clear.

Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near radi‐

ators or similar sources of heat.

If the appliance is placed directly next to an oven,

the energy consumption may increase slightly. This is

dependent on the service life and usage intensity of the

oven.

Energy consumption depends on the installation condi‐

tions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 2.4 Appliance

range of use) . A warmer ambient temperature can

increase the energy consumption.

Open the appliance for as short a time as possible.

The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy

consumption.

Sort your food: home.liebherr.com/food.

Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents

frost from forming.

Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it

doesn’t warm up too much.

Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temper‐

ature first.

Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator.*

If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost

the appliance.*

For longer periods of absence, use HolidayMode

(seeHolidayMode) .
