Technical safety
Fire hazard
The tubes of the
refrigeration circuit convey a
small quantity of an
environmentally friendly but
flammable refrigerant (R600a). It
does not damage the ozone
layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. If refrigerant
escapes, it may injure your eyes

■Keep naked flames and/or
ignition sources away from the
appliance,
■thoroughly ventilate the room
for several minutes,
■switch off the appliance and
pull out the mains plug,
■inform customer service.
The more refrigerant an
appliance contains, the larger
the room must be in which the
appliance is situated. Leaking
refrigerant can form a
flammable gas-air mixture in
rooms which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m³
per 8 g of refrigerant. The
amount of refrigerant in your
appliance is indicated on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
When installing the appliance,

Operating tips
■When the appliance has been
switched on, it may take several hours
until the set temperatures have been
reached.
■The fully automatic NoFrost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
remains free of ice. Defrosting is no
longer required.
■The sides of the housing are
sometimes heated slightly. This
prevents condensation in the area of
the door seal.
■If the freezer compartment door
cannot be immediately re-opened after
it has been closed, wait until the
resulting low pressure has equalised.
Setting
the temperature
Refrigerator compartment
Turn temperature controller, Fig. !/11,
to the required setting.
We recommend the setting in line with
the marking.
Changing the setting clockwise will lower
temperatures in the refrigerator
compartment.
At a room temperature below 16°C,
slightly increase the temperature setting
in the appliance. At a room temperature
above 32°C, slightly reduce the
temperature setting in the appliance.
Select a very cold setting only

Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can
be found inside your appliance on
the rating plate. Fig. )
Refrigerator
compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries.
Note when storing food
Note
Optimum cooling capacity is attained
when the upper glass shelf remains in
position.
■Store fresh, unspoilt food. This will
then preserve quality and freshness
for longer.
■With ready-made products and bottled
goods, observe the best-before or
use-by date specified by the
manufacturer.
■To preserve 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 section.
■Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the
appliance.
Note
Do not block air outlet openings with
food, otherwise the air circulation will be
impaired. Food which is stored directly
in front of the air outlet openings may be
frozen by the cold air flowing out.
Note
Avoid contact between food and rear
panel. Otherwise the air circulation will
be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to
the rear panel.
Note the chill zones in the
refrigerator section
The air circulation in the refrigerator
section creates different chill zones:
■The coldest zone is between the
vegetable container and the glass
shelf situated above and in front of the
air outlet openings.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
■The warmest zone is at the very top of
the door.
Note
Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in
the warmest zone. The aroma of hard
cheese can then continue to develop
and butter remains spreadable.

en
12
Vegetable container
Fig. !/14
A high air humidity keeps leafy
vegetables fresh for longer. Vegetables
and fruit should be stored at a slightly
lower air humidity.
The air humidity in the vegetable drawer
depends on the amount of stored food.
Note
If the air humidity is too high, drips may
form and cause decay.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment
■To store deep-frozen food.
■To make ice cubes.
■To freeze food.
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly. If
the door is open, the frozen food will
thaw. The freezer compartment will
become covered in thick ice. Also: waste
of energy due to high power
consumption!
Freezing capacity
Information on the freezing capacity can
be found on the rating plate. Fig. )
Freezing and storing
food
Purchasing frozen food
■Packaging must not be damaged.
■Use by the “use by” date.
■Temperature in the supermarket
freezer must be -18 °C or lower.
■If possible, transport deep-frozen food
in an insulated bag and place quickly
in the freezer compartment.
Note when loading products
Freeze large quantities of food in the fast
freezer compartment where food freezes
particularly quickly and therefore also
gently.
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which is
to be frozen.

en
13
Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour, vegetables
should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
■The following foods are suitable for
freezing:
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood,
meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
herbs, eggs without shells, dairy
products such as cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers such
as soups, stews, cooked meat and
fish, potato dishes, soufflés and
desserts.
■The following foods are not suitable
for freezing:
Types of vegetables, which are usually
consumed raw, such as lettuce or
radishes, eggs in shells, grapes,
whole apples, pears and peaches,
hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured
milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and
mayonnaise.

up to 8 months
■Vegetables and fruit:
up to 12 months

en
14
Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly
as possible in order to retain vitamins,
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food
in the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing to prevent an unwanted
temperature rise.
As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly
and the freezer compartment drops to
a very low temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be
used, super freezing must be switched
on for 24 hours before the fresh produce
is placed in the freezer compartment.
