displays, alarm messages and fans. The thawing cycle
only operates at the specified time without taking refriger-
ator use into account. After a power cut the appliance
automatically switches on again in Sabbath mode.
You can find a list of Star-K-certified appliances at
www.star-k.org/appliances .
WARNING
Danger of food poisoning!
No record will be kept of a power failure during Sabbath
Mode. Thus, during Sabbath mode, if a power failure
occurs that you are not aware of, when the power comes
back on, the unit will continue to be in Sabbath Mode but
when Sabbath Mode is ended there will be no indication
that a power failure occurred.
If a power failure occurs during Sabbath mode:
u
Check the quality of the food. Do not consume spoiled
food!
-
All functions are blocked until Sabbath mode is
switched off.
-
If the unit is currently running in a mode such as
Superfrost, Supercool or the Ventilation is enabled
these functions will continue and finish their timed
cycles independent of now being in Sabbath mode.
-
No audible signals are emitted, and the temperature
display does not indicate any warnings or settings
(such as a temperature alarm or door alarm).
-
Light does not operate.

5.5 Fridge compartment
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compart-
ment results in zones with differing temperatures. It is
coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at the
rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment
and in the door.
5.5.1 Refrigerating food
It is coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at
the rear wall. The warmest areas are located in the top
front section and in the door.
WARNING
Danger of fire
u
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer.
u
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass
containers and cling film to wrap foods.
u
Always store raw meat or fish in clean, closed
containers on the lowest shelf in the cooling area so
that other food cannot come into contact with it or drip
on it.
u
Always use closed containers for liquids and for food
that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer
or cover them.
u
Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient
air circulation.
5.5.2 Setting the temperature
The temperature depends on the following factors:
-
the number of times the door is opened
-
The duration the door is opened
-
the room temperature of the installation location
-
the type, temperature and amount of food.
The temperature is continuously adjustable across a
range of 36 °F (2 °C) to 49 °F (9 °C), and the advisable
range is 39 °F (4 °C).
u
To set a higher temperature: press the Up button
Fig. 2 (3)
.
u
To set a lower temperature: press the Down button
Fig. 2 (4)
.
w
When pressed once the previously set temperature
display value will flash.
u
To change the temperature in 1 °F (1 °C) increments:
briefly press the button.
u
To change the temperature continuously: hold the
button down.
w
The value is displayed flashing during the setting oper-
ation.
w
The actual temperature is displayed about 5 seconds
after the last press of a button. The temperature slowly
adjusts to the new value.
5.5.3 SuperCool
With SuperCool you switch to the highest cooling
performance to reach lower cooling tempera-
tures. Use SuperCool to rapidly cool large quan-
tities of food.
If SuperCool is on, the fan* may come on. The appliance
works at maximum refrigerating power. The sound of the
refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result.
SuperCool will use more energy than normal operation.
Cooling with SuperCool
u
Briefly press the SuperCool button

.
w
The SuperCool symbol
Fig. 2 (12)
lights up in the
display.
w

SuperCool is switched on.
w
SuperCool switches itself off automatically after 12
hours. The appliance continues to work in normal
energy-saving mode.
To prematurely switch off SuperCool
u
Briefly press the SuperCool button

7 Troubleshooting.
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for reliable
operation and a long lifespan. If a malfunction nonethe-
less occurs during operation, please determine if the
malfunction is due to an operating error. If a service call
determines operator error, you will be charged for the
costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may
be able to rectify the following problems yourself:
Defect Cause Remedy
The appliance
does not work.
The appliance is not switched on.
u
Switch on the appliance.
The power plug is not properly
inserted in the wall socket.
u
Check the power plug.
The fuse in the wall socket is not
OK.
u
Check the fuse.
Power failure
u
Keep the appliance closed.
u
Protect the food: place dry ice on top of the food or
use an alternate freezer, if the power failure persists
for some time.
u
Do not re-freeze defrosted food.
The compressor
runs for a long
time.
When less refrigeration is required,
the speed-controlled compressor
switches to a low speed. Although
the running time is increased as a
result, energy is saved.
u
This is normal in energy-saving models.
SuperCool function is activated.
u
The compressor runs long to rapidly cool food. This is
normal.

The sound always occurs when the
refrigeration unit (the motor) auto-
