Environmental protection and saving energy
Environmental protection
and saving energy
Help protect the environment by us-
ing your appliance in a way that con-
serves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.
▶Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.
Information about current disposal
methods are available from your
specialist dealer or local authority.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Selecting the installation
location
Follow these instructions when in-
stalling your appliance.
¡Keep the appliance out of direct
sunlight.
¡Install the appliance as far away
as possible from heating ele-
ments, cookers and other heat
sources:
– Maintain a 30mm clearance to
electric or gas cookers.
– Maintain a 30cm clearance to
oil or solid-fuel cookers.
The appliance needs to cool less
frequently at low ambient temper-
atures.
¡Use a niche depth of 560mm.
¡Do not cover or block ventilation
openings.
¡Ventilate the room daily.
The air on the back wall of the ap-
pliance does not warm up so in-
tensely.
The appliance must cool less fre-
quently.
Saving energy during use
Follow these instructions when using
your appliance.
Note:The arrangement of the fittings
does not affect the energy consump-
tion of the appliance.

briefly.
¡Transport purchased food in a
cool bag and place in the appli-
ance quickly.
¡Allow warm food and drinks to
cool down before placing them in
the appliance.
¡Thaw frozen food in the refriger-
ator compartment to utilise the low
temperature of the food.
The air in the appliance does not
warm up so intensely.
The appliance must cool less fre-
quently.
¡Always leave some space
between the food and to the back
panel.
¡Pack the food airtight.
The air can circulate and the air
humidity remains constant.

Operating tips
¡Once you have switched on the
appliance, the set temperature is
only reached after several hours.
Do not put in any food in the appli-
ance until the temperature is
reached.
¡The housing around the freezer
compartment is temporarily heated
slightly. This prevents condensa-
tion in the area of the door seal.
¡When you close the door of the
freezer compartment, a vacuum
may be created and you may not
be able to open the freezer door
again immediately. Wait a moment
until the vacuum is offset.

Super function
With the Super function, the refriger-
ator compartment and the freezer
compartment cool more intensively.
This refrigerates or freezes food
quickly right through to the centre.
Switch on the Super function 4 to
6hours before placing food weighing
2kg or more.
In order to utilise the freezer capacity,
use the Super function.

You can keep meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com-
partment.
You can set the temperature in the
refrigerator compartment from 2°C
to 8°C.
The recommended temperature in
the refrigerator compartment is 4°C.
→""OK" sticker", Page19
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
Tips for storing food in the refri-
gerator compartment
Follow the tips if you store food in
your refrigerator compartment.
¡To ensure that the freshness and
quality of the food is retained for
longer, only store fresh and un-
spoiled food.
¡In the case of ready-made
products and bottled goods, do
not exceed the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
¡To retain aroma, colour and fresh-
ness or to prevent taste transfer
and discolouration of the plastic
parts, store food well wrapped or
covered.
¡Leave warm food and beverages
to cool down before placing them
in the refrigerator compartment.
Chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the ar-
row stamped on the side and the
shelf underneath.
Tip:Store perishable food (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.

Freezer compartment en
19
Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
"OK" sticker
The "OK" sticker lets you check
whether the refrigerator compartment
reaches the safe temperature ranges
of +4°C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with
all models.
If the sticker does not indicate "OK",
gradually reduce the temperature.

ment temperature", Page17
Once the appliance is switched on, it
may take up to 12hours until the set
temperature is reached.
Correct setting
Freezer compartment
Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer com-
partment depends on the temperat-
ure in the refrigerator compartment.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on various factors:
¡Set temperature
¡Food (size and type)
¡Quantity and type of storage
¡Quantity and type of food already
stored
Freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity indic-
ates the quantity of food that can be
frozen right through to the centre
within a specific period of time.
Information on the maximum freezing
capacity can be found on the rating
plate. →"Appliance", Fig. 1/

Tips for buying frozen food
Follow the tips when you are buying
frozen food.
¡Check the packaging is not dam-
aged.
¡Check the best-before date.
¡The temperature in the supermar-
ket freezer must be –18°C or
lower.

¡Do not interrupt the deep-freeze
chain. If possible, transport frozen
food in a cool bag and quickly
place it in the freezer compart-
ment.
Tips for storing food in the
freezer compartment
Follow the tips if you are storing food
in the freezer compartment.
¡To quickly and gently freeze larger
quantities of fresh food, place this
in the lower frozen food container.
¡Place the food over the whole area
of the compartments or the frozen
food containers.
¡Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
If necessary, redistribute frozen
food in the freezer compartment.
¡To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.
Tips for freezing fresh food
Follow the tips when you freeze fresh
food.
¡Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡Cooked, roasted or baked food is
more suitable for consumption
than food that can be eaten raw.
¡In order to retain the nutritional
value, flavour and colour, you
should prepare certain food for
freezing.
– Vegetables: Wash, chop up,
blanch.
– Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps
peel, possibly add sugar or
ascorbic acid solution.
Additional information on how to do
this can be found in the relevant liter-
ature.
