5.7 SuperFrost
With this function you can freeze fresh food
quickly through to the core. The appliance oper‐
ates with maximum refrigeration. The noise of the
refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a
result.
In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a “cold
reserve”. The food stays frozen longer as a result when you
defrost the appliance.
You can freeze as many kilograms of fresh food within
24 hrs as is indicated on the type plate under “Freezing
capacity ... kg/24hrs”. This maximum freezing quantity can
vary depending on model and climate class.
You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on
how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before
placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about
24 hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food
to be frozen.
Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not
allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already
frozen to prevent the latter thawing.
You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following
cases:
-
when placing frozen food in the freezer
-
when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily
5.7.1 Freezing with SuperFrost
► Briefly press the SuperFrost button Fig.2(4).

7 Malfunctions
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long
life span and reliable operation. If a malfunction nonethe‐
less occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a
handling error. In this case you will have to be charged for
the costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You
may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
Defect
Cause Remedy
Appliance does not
work.
→ The appliance is not switched on. ► Switching on the appliance.
→ The power plug is not properly
inserted in the wall socket.
► Check power plug.
→ The fuse of the wall socket is not in
order.
► Check fuse.
The compressor
runs for a long
time.
→ The compressor switches to a
low speed when little cold is
needed. Although the running time
is increased as a result, energy is
saved.
► This is normal in energy-saving models.
→ SuperFrost is activated. ► The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool
the food. This is normal.
A LED on the
bottom rear of
the appliance (at
the compressor)
flashes repeatedly
every 5 seconds*.
→ There is a fault. ► Please contact the after-sales service (see 6 Mainte‐
nance) .

Defect Cause Remedy
Excessive noise.
→ Due to the various speed steps,
speed-regulated* compressors can
generate different running noises.
► The sound is normal.
A bubbling and
gurgling noise.
→ This noise comes from the refrig‐
erant flowing in the refrigeration
circuit.
► The sound is normal.
A quiet clicking
noise.
→ The noise is produced whenever
the refrigeration unit (motor) auto‐
matically switches on or off.
► The sound is normal.
A hum. It is briefly
a little louder
when the refrig‐
eration unit (the
motor) switches
on.
→ The refrigeration increases auto‐
matically when the SuperFrost,
function is activated, fresh food
has just been placed in the appli‐
ance or the door has been left open
for a while.
► The sound is normal.
→ The ambient temperature is too
high.
► Solution: (see1.2 Appliance range of use)
A low hum.
→ The sound is produced by air flow
noise of the fan.
► The sound is normal.
Vibration noises
→ The appliance is not standing
firmly on the floor. As a result
objects and adjacent units start
to vibrate when the refrigerator is
running.
► Check the installation and realign the appliance.
The temperature
display indicates:
F0 to F9
→ There is a fault. ► Please contact the after-sales service (see 6 Mainte‐
nance) .
Power failure
flashes in
the temperature
display . The
highest tempera‐
ture reached
during power
failure is indicated
in the temperature
display.
→ The freezer temperature rose too
high over the last hours or days
due to a power failure or power
interruption. When the power inter‐
ruption is over, the appliance will
continue to operate in the last
temperature setting.
► To cancel the display of the warmest temperature: press
alarm button Fig.2(6).
► Check the quality of the food. Do not consume spoiled
food. Do not re-freeze thawed food.
DEMO shines in
the temperature
display.
→ The demo mode is activated. ► Please contact the after-sales service (see 6 Mainte‐
nance) .
The outer surfaces
of the appliance
are warm*.
→ The heat of the refrigeration circuit
is used to prevent condensate from
forming.
► This is normal.
The temperature is
not cold enough.
→ The door of the appliance is not
properly closed.
► Close the door of the appliance.
→ Insufficient ventilation. ► Keep ventilation grille clear, and clean it.
→ The ambient temperature is too
high.
► Solution: (see1.2 Appliance range of use) .
→ The appliance was opened too
frequently or for too long.
► Wait to see whether the appliance reaches the required
temperature by itself. If not, please contact the after
sales service (see6 Maintenance) .
→ Too much fresh food was placed
inside without SuperFrost.
► Solution: (see 5.7SuperFrost)
→ The temperature is incorrectly set. ► Set the temperature to a colder setting and check after
24 hours.
