Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing meat, sausages, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.

The temperature can be set from 33° F (1° C) to 43° F (6° C).

The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store highly perishable groceries in the short to medium term. A temperature of +39°F (+4°C) or lower ensures optimum freshness and hygiene of the stored groceries.

Vegetable bin

The vegetable bin is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. You can adjust the humidity in the vegetable bin via the division plate's humidity controller and a special seal.

The humidity in the vegetable bin can be set according to the type and quantity of products to be stored:

  • Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower air humidity
  • Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small load – set higher air humidity

Notes

  • Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside of the appliance at temperatures of approx. +46°F ... +54°F (+8°C ... +12°C) for optimum preservation of quality and aroma.
  • Condensation may form in the vegetable bin depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable bin with the humidity controller.

Cold storage bin

The temperatures in the cold storage bin are lower than in the refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below +32 °F (0 °C) may occur.

Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable for salads, vegetables and groceries sensitive to cold.

Note when storing food

  • Store fresh undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
  • In the case of convenience products and bottled goods, do not exceed the minimum sell-by date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
  • To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing it into the appliance. This will prevent flavors being transferred between foods and the plastic parts from becoming discolored.
  • Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before placing them into the refrigerator compartment.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

  • storing frozen food
  • making ice cubes
  • freezing food

The temperature can be set from 6 °F (–14 °C) to –7 °F (–22 °C).

The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable foods long-term almost without any noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures considerably slow down or stop deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all valuable ingredients are largely retained.

The time between putting fresh food in the freezer compartment and it freezing solid depends on the following factors:

  • temperature set
  • type of food
  • amount of food in the freezer compartment
  • quantity and type of storage

Ice and water dispenser

You can use the ice and water dispenser to dispense:

  • cooled water
  • crushed ice
  • ice cubes

To obtain maximal ice production (up to 12 lb (5.4 kg) in a 24 hour period):

  • The appliance must be installed according to the installation instructions.
  • The freezer compartment must be set to the coldest temperature.
  • The ice cube bin must be emptied every 3 hours.

Results may vary depending on operating conditions such as:

  • door openings
  • food load
  • ambient temperature and ambient humidity
  • water pressure and water filter condition

Observing drinking water quality

All materials used in the ice and water dispenser are odorless and tasteless.

If the water has an aftertaste, this may be due to the following causes:

  • Mineral content and chlorine content of the drinking water
  • Material of the water line leading to the appliance
  • Freshness of the drinking water

Note: If you dispense water again after a long period, it may taste stale. Allow water to dispense for at least 5 minutes and discard.

You will obtain optimum water quality if you dispense some water regularly

Operation of the ice and water dispenser

  • When the appliance door is open, the ice and water dispenser stops, and the button lock is switched on.
  • To prevent water damage, the ice and water dispenser stops automatically after a period of continuous dispensing. Wait a few seconds before dispensing ice or water again.
  • The ice and water dispenser stops automatically after several consecutive dispensing operations. Wait a few minutes before dispensing ice or water again.
  • To prevent ice from falling on the floor, hold the glass directly under the ice dispenser opening when dispensing crushed ice.
  • When you switch from the crushed button to the cubed button, a little crushed ice may be dispensed.
  • The dispensed water is cooled to a palatable temperature. To obtain a colder drinking temperature, put additional ice cubes in the glass.
  • The water may become warmer when dispensing large amounts of water.
  • If ice cubes taste stale, discard the remainder and the cubes produced over the next 24 hours. If ice cubes still taste stale, change the water filter.
  • Regularly check the drip tray and clean as necessary. ~ "Cleaning"
