Technical safety
Fire hazard
The pipes 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 contribute to
the greenhouse effect. If
refrigerant escapes, it may injure
your eyes or ignite.
If damage has occurred
■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. In rooms
which are too small, leaking
refrigerant can form a
flammable gas-air mixture.
At least 1 m³ of room space is
required 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,
check that the power cord is not
trapped or damaged.

plate. Fig. 
Fully utilising the freezer
volume
To place the maximum amount of frozen
food in the freezer compartment, you can
remove the containers. You can then
stack the food directly on the shelf and
on the bottom of the freezer
compartment.
Note
Avoid contact between food and back
panel. Otherwise the air circulation will
be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to
the back panel.
Removing the fittings
Pull out the frozen food container all the
way, lift at the front and remove. Fig. 9
The cooling
compartment
The cooling compartment is the ideal
storage location for meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, ready meals and
baked goods.
Note when storing food
■Store fresh, undamaged food. The
quality and freshness will then be
retained for longer.
■With ready-made products and bottled
goods, observe the best-before or
use-by date specified by the
manufacturer.
■To retain flavour, 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 cooling
compartment.
■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 that is stored directly in
front of the air outlet openings may be
frozen by the cold air flowing out.

Note the chill zones in the
cooling compartment
The air circulation in the cooling
compartment creates different chill
zones:
■The coldest zones are in front of the
air outlet openings and in the chill
compartment, Fig. 1/29.
Note
Store delicate foods (e.g. fish,
sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.
■The warmest zone is at the very top of
the door.
Note
Store products such as hard cheese
and butter in the warmest zone. The
flavour of hard cheese can then
continue to develop and butter
remains spreadable.
Super cooling
Super cooling sets the cooling
compartment temperature to the coldest
temperature setting
for approx. 6 hours. Then the appliance
automatically switches to the
temperature set prior to super cooling
mode.
Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.
■before placing large quantities of food
in the cooling compartment.
■for cooling beverages quickly.
Switching on and off
Fig. 4
1. Select the cooling compartment using
the °C button.
2. Press super button.
The super cooling display lights up.
You do not need to switch off super
cooling. After 6 hours, the previously set
temperature will be automatically
restored.
Note
When super cooling is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.

The hyperFresh
compartment
The temperature in the cool-fresh
compartment is kept at around 0?. The
low temperature and the optimum
humidity provide ideal storage conditions
for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times
longer in the cool-fresh compartment
than in the normal cooling zone – for
even longer freshness, nutrient retention
and flavour.
Vegetable container
Fig. 7
The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. The humidity controller of the
partition and a special seal can be used
to adjust the humidity in the vegetable
container.
The humidity in the vegetable container
can be set according to the type and
amount of products to be stored:
■Mainly fruit as well as for a large load
– lower humidity
■Mainly vegetables as well as for a
mixed load or small load – higher
humidity
Notes
■Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapples,
bananas, papayas and citrus fruits)
and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g.
aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes)
should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures
of approx. +8°C to +12°C for
optimum preservation of quality and
flavour.
■Condensation may form in the
vegetable container depending on the
food and quantity stored. Remove
condensation with a dry cloth and
adjust the humidity in the vegetable
container with the humidity controller.
