Take care not to damage your refrigeration appliance’s pipework before or during transportation to an authorized collection depot. This is to ensure that coolant in the cooling circuit and oil in the compressor is contained, and will not leak into the environment.

Installation

Installation location
WARNING! Risk of damage and injury due to the refrigeration appliance tipping over. This refrigeration appliance is very heavy and can tip forward when the door is open. Keep the appliance door(s) closed until the refrigeration appliance has been built in. The refrigeration appliance must be secured in its building in niche in accordance with the operating and installation instructions.
Fire hazard and risk of damage from appliances that give off heat. Appliances that give off heat can catch fire and set fire to the refrigeration appliance. This refrigeration appliance must not be installed underneath a cooktop.
Fire hazard and risk of damage from open flames. Open flames can set fire to the refrigeration appliance. Keep open flames (such as a candle) away from the refrigeration appliance.
This appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. When deciding where to install your refrigeration appliance, please bear in mind that it will use more energy if installed near to a heater, a range, or another appliance that gives off heat. Avoid direct sunlight. The higher the ambient temperature, the longer the compressor runs and the higher the energy consumption is. When installing the appliance, please note:
– IMPORTANT! The power plug must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains quickly in an emergency. It must not be behind the back of the appliance.
– The plug and power cord must not touch the back of the appliance as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.
– Do not plug other appliances into electrical outlets behind this appliance.
** Risk of damage due to high humidity. In environments with high humidity, condensation can build up on external refrigeration-appliance panels. This condensate can cause corrosion on external appliance panels. Install the refrigeration appliance in a dry and/or air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation.
After installation please make sure that the appliance door(s) closes (close) properly and the refrigeration appliance is installed in accordance with these installation instructions. The specified ventilation specifications must be observed.
Side-by-side combinations
Risk of damage due to condensation on external appliance panels. In environments with high humidity, condensation can build up on external appliance panels, which can cause corrosion.
Do not place different refrigeration appliances directly next to or on top of one other.
Exception: your refrigeration appliance can be installed next to another refrigeration appliance with an integrated heating unit if each appliance is built into a separate niche. Please contact your dealer for specific information about which combinations will work with your refrigeration appliance.
Climate class**
This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed. The climate range is stated on the data plate in the interior cabinet of the refrigeration appliance.

A lower ambient temperature leads to the compressor switching off for longer periods. This can cause the internal temperature in the refrigeration appliance to rise with the risk of food deteriorating and going off.
Ventilation
WARNING! Fire hazard and risk of damage due to insufficient ventilation. If the refrigeration appliance is not ventilated sufficiently, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods. This causes increased energy consumption and an increased compressor operating temperature, which can result in damage to the compressor. Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the refrigeration appliance. It is essential to observe the required ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps must never be obstructed. They must also be cleaned on a regular basis to remove dust. There must be a gap of at least ½ inch (13 mm) between the back of the appliance and the rear wall. If this gap is not maintained, this will result in increased energy consumption. Air at the back of the refrigeration appliance gets warm. The appliance housing unit must therefore be constructed to allow sufficient space for ventilation (see “Installation dimensions” and the installation instructions provided).

• To ensure ventilation an air channel of a minimum 1 1/2″ (40 mm) depth must be provided at the back of the appliance.
• The ventilation slits in the toe-kick, in the cabinet and under the top of the cabinet must provide a total passage volume of at least 31″² (200 cm² ) to allow the warm air to dissipate unimpeded.
• If you wish to fit a grille in the ventilation openings, the ventilation openings must be larger than 31″² (200 cm² ). The passage volume of 31″² (200 cm² ) is the total area of the opening slits in the grille.
• Important! The larger the ventilation slits, the more economically the appliance will work.

Lower ventilation slit
The appliance can be ventilated via the cabinet plinth with the ventilation grille supplied or with a minimum ventilation opening of 31 in² cross-section area. When using the grille supplied, please proceed as follows:

• Cut an opening in plinth 2 as shown in the diagram.
•  Place ventilation grille 1 in the opening.
• Push snap fasteners 3 into the ventilation grille from behind until the hooks touch the plinth.
• Reinstall the plinth with the ventilation grille.

Cabinet doors
An upper cabinet door for the refrigerator section and a lower cabinet door for the freezer section are required.
The cabinet doors must be at least 5/8“ (16 mm) / 3/4” (19 mm) thick.
– Weight of the door panel

If the door panel is too heavy damage can occur.
Installing a door panel which is heavier than the maximum permitted weight could damage the hinges. This can cause subsequent functional problems.
Before installing the door panel, ensure that the weight of the door panel does not exceed the maximum  permitted weight.
The maximum permissible weights of the door panels in lb (kg) are:

Calculation of cabinet door size
The width of the cabinet door depends on the style of the kitchen and the gap between the unit door panels.
When calculating the height of the cabinet door, remember that the top edge of the door must be at the same height as that of the doors of the adjacent units.
The cabinet door must be fitted correctly and not under tension.
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen cabinetry, the thickness and edge radius of the custom door panel and the gap that runs around the door, vertically and horizontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the following:
– Horizontal gap The gap between the door panel and the housing-unit door above or below it must be at least 1/8″ (3 mm).
– Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration appliance door panel and the adjoining housing-unit door or wall on the hinged side is too small, the appliance door could collide with the adjoining housing-unit door or wall when opened. It may be necessary to adjust the size of this gap to suit the thickness and edge radius of the door panel.
This must be taken into consideration when planning your kitchen and when replacing an old refrigeration appliance with a new one to ensure the installation conditions required are met.

Calculating the height of the cabinet doors
These examples are based on the following measurements, which may vary depending on the design of the kitchen:
– The horizontal gap between cabinet doors 1 and 2 is F = approx. 1/8″ (3 mm). This gap must be within the hatched area (see drawing).
– The thickness of the cover panel 5 and the base 6 of the fitted unit is usually 3/4″ (19 mm).
– Height of freezer section cabinet door 2

1. The freezer section cabinet door must be at least A = 27 3/8″ (695 mm) to cover the bottom section of the appliance.

2. To cover the front of the cabinet floor panel 6 , add the height of the cabinet base to height A:
   = A + G₄ = 28 1/8″ (714 mm).

3. The height of the cabinet door may need to be altered depending on the adjacent kitchen units:
   = A + G₄ + D – 1/8″ (3 mm) = 28 9/16” (726 mm).
   – Height of refrigerator section cabinet door 1

This height is calculated on the basis of the freezer section cabinet door 2 height:

1. Height of freezer section cabinet door = :
     = A + G₃ + G₄ –  1/8“ (3 mm)  = 43 3/16” (1097 mm)

2. Height of freezer section cabinet door = :
   = A + G₃ + G₄ –  1/8“ (3 mm)  = 43 11/16” (1109 mm)

To note when switching off for longer periods of time
If, during a long absence, the refrigeration appliance is switched off but not cleaned and the door is left shut, there is a danger of bacteria building up inside the appliance. It is essential to clean the refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, observe the following:

• Turn the appliance off.

• Unplug the appliance’s electrical plug or switch off the breaker.

• Take the water container for the humidifier out of the appliance, empty it, then clean and dry it.

• Empty the ice-cube drawer.
  Risk of damage to the ice-cube maker.
  If the water supply is cut off while the ice-cube maker is still in use, the water-intake pipe can freeze up.
  Turn the ice-cube maker off if the water supply is interrupted (e.g., while on vacation).

• Close the water-supply shut-off valve.

• Clean the refrigeration appliance and leave the door open to air the appliance and avoid odors building up inside.

The correct temperature

It is also advisable to carry out the last two instructions if you are switching the refrigerator section off for a longer period of time.
It is very important to set the correct temperature to ensure the shelf life of food. Reducing the temperature reduces the growth rate of microorganisms. Food does not spoil as quickly.
The temperature in the appliance will rise:

• the more often the appliance door is opened and the longer it is kept open
• the more food that is stored in it
• the warmer the food is that is being put into it
• the higher the ambient temperature surrounding the refrigeration appliance is. This refrigeration appliance is designed for use within specific ambient temperatures (climate range). Do not use in ambient temperatures for which it is not designed.

… in the freezer section
To freeze fresh food, a temperature of 0°F (-18°C) is required. This will prolong the storage life of your food and retain its quality.
As soon as the temperature rises above 14°F (-10°C), the bacteria become active in the food again so it cannot be kept as long. For this reason, partially defrosted or defrosted food must not be re-frozen. Food may be re- frozen once it has been cooked (boiled or roasted), as the high temperatures achieved when cooking destroy most bacteria.
Temperature display
In normal operation, the temperature display shows the current average refrigerator section temperature and the maximum freezer section temperature.
Depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature setting, it can take the appliance a few hours to reach the temperature required and for this temperature to then be shown as a constant temperature on the display.
Setting the temperature in the refrigerator/freezer sections

• Touch the temperature display for the section you want to change.
• Swipe left or right until the temperature you want is shown in the middle.
• Tap on the temperature you want to confirm.

The temperature display will then change back to the current refrigerator and freezer temperature in the refrigeration appliance.
Possible temperature settings

• Refrigerator section: 37 to 48°F (3 to 9°C)
• Freezer section: 5 to 15°F (-15 to -26°C)

Adjusting the PerfectFresh Active zone temperature
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone is automatically maintained between 32 and 37°F (0 and 3°C).
However, if you would like it to be warmer or colder, e.g., when storing fish, you can adjust the temperature slightly in increments.

• Tap .
• Swipe left or right until is shown in the middle.
• Tap .
• Swipe left or right until the setting you want (1: lowest temperature; 9: highest temperature) is shown in the middle.
• Tap on the setting you want to confirm.

The default setting for the temperature is 5.
Under certain circumstances, a setting from 1 to 4 can cause negative temperatures to be reached. This can cause food to freeze.
Check the temperature setting.
If you change the temperature setting:

• Check the temperature display after a few hours. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given.
  – Wait for approx. 6 hours if the refrigeration appliance is not very full.
  – Wait for approx. 24 hours if the refrigeration appliance is full.
  If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low:

• Adjust the temperature again.

Storing food in the refrigerator section

Do not load more than a maximum of 35 lb (16 kg) of food in the appliance door.
Risk of fire from electrical appliances.
Operating electrical devices in the appliance can cause sparks to form.
Do not operate any electrical devices inside the appliance.
Risk of explosion due to flammable mixes of gases.
Electrical components can cause flammable mixes of gases to ignite.
Do not store any explosive materials or products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the appliance. The spray cans in question can be identified by the contents printed on the can or by a flame symbol. Electrical components can cause escaping gases to ignite.
Risk of damage due to greasy or oily foods.
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the refrigeration appliance or the appliance door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.
Make sure that no fat or oil leaks onto the plastic parts of the refrigeration appliance.
If there is insufficient air circulation, the cooling performance will decrease and energy consumption will increase.
To allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the appliance.
Do not cover the fan in the rear wall of the appliance.
Different storage zones
Due to natural air circulation, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator section.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest section of the refrigeration section. Make use of the different zones when placing food in the appliance.
This appliance has Dynamic Cooling, which helps to keep an even temperature when the fan is running. When Dynamic Cooling is turned on, the difference between the various zones is less pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator section is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and cheese so that it retains its flavor.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator section is directly above the PerfectFresh Active zone dividing plate and at the back of the appliance. The temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone compartments is even colder.
Use these areas in the refrigerator section and in the PerfectFresh Active zone for all delicate and highly perishable food, e.g.,:

• fish, meat, poultry
• cold cuts, ready-made meals
• dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
• fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza dough, or pie dough
• raw-milk cheese and other raw-milk products
• pre-packed vegetables
• other fresh food (with a label stating it should be kept at a temperature of approx. 39°F [4°C])

Food which is not suitable for storage in the fridge zone
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) because it is sensitive to cold.
Foods which are sensitive to cold include:

• pineapples, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, mangoes, melons, papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits
• fruit (which is not yet ripe)
• eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini
• hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)

Notes on buying food
The freshness of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is the most important factor for how long it stays fresh.
Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature.
Time out of the fridge, e.g., transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum.
Storing food correctly
Ensure that food stored in the refrigerator section is in packaging or covered properly (some exceptions apply in the PerfectFresh Active zone). This will prevent food odors from affecting other food, stop food from drying out, and also prevent any cross-contamination of bacteria. This is particularly important when storing meat products. Make sure that food such as raw meat and fish in particular does not come into contact with other food.
By ensuring that the temperature settings are correct and by taking appropriate hygiene measures, you can prolong the storage life of your food considerably. This prevents food waste.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

PerfectFresh Active zone The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies the requirements of a chill compartment to DIN EN 62552:2020.
The PerfectFresh Active zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavor and vitamins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone is controlled automatically and maintained at 32 to 37°F (0 to 3°C). While lower than the temperature in a standard refrigerator section, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh food which is not sensitive to cold.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh Active zone can also be regulated to suit the food being stored. If the humidifier is switched on, water vapor is supplied to the stored fruit and vegetables. The humidifier switches on approximately every 90 minutes and each time the appliance door is opened. Food retains its own moisture if stored at a higher humidity and so does not dry out as quickly.
Remember that the fresher the food when it is placed in the appliance, the longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh Active zone approx. 30 to 60 minutes before using it. The aroma and taste do not fully develop until the food has reached room temperature.
Humidity-controlled compartment
The upper humidity-controlled compartment has a temperature of 32 to 37°F (0 to 3°C), and the humidity level is increased depending on the position of the compartment lid: not increased or increased.
Low humidity
When the setting is used, the humidity-controlled compartment becomes a dry compartment (see “Dry compartment”).
Increased humidity
When this setting is used, the compartment is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
Increased moisture in the humidity controlled compartment can cause a build-up of condensate.
If you find that too much condensate has formed and this is affecting the food, proceed as follows:
Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.
Open the compartment lid by moving it to the low humidity position. Switch the humidifier off.
Selecting increased humidity
When the setting is used, the humidifier should be switched on.
The energy consumption does increase slightly when the humidifier is switched on. The appliance may also make more noise than usual.

If the food is higher than the edge of the drawer, pushing in the drawer may alter the position of the compartment lid, causing it to close.
When filling the drawer, take care to ensure that the food does not touch the compartment lid.
Humidifier
When the humidifier is switched on, water vapor is supplied to the fruit and vegetables stored in the humidity-controlled compartment each time the appliance door is opened and approximately every 90 minutes. The water vapor provides additional humidity in the humidity-controlled compartment.
The humidifier and its water container are located in the dividing plate between the refrigerator section and PerfectFresh Active zone.
Check and pay attention to the following before switching the humidifier on (see “Selecting additional settings”):

• The water container must have been cleaned, filled with water, and inserted securely.
• The lid for the humidity-controlled compartment must be closed ( setting).

The water in the water container should last for approx. 4 months.
The water container will only need to be refilled if the humidifier is no longer producing any water vapor.
Risk of damage due to incorrectly filled water container.
Liquids containing sugar can damage the humidifier.
Use only fresh drinking water to fill the water container.
Risk to health due to contaminated water.
Using contaminated water can lead to poisoning.
Use only fresh drinking water to fill the water container.
Risk to health due to contaminated water.
Bacteria can develop in water which has been sitting in the water container for too long. This poses a risk to your health.
Clean the water container for the humidifier and fill it with fresh drinking water if the refrigeration appliance, the refrigerator section, or the humidifier has been switched off for an extended period of time (more than 2 days).

Dry compartment

The lower dry compartment has a temperature of 32 to 37°F (0 to 3°C) and the humidity is not increased .
The dry compartment is suitable for storing perishable foods such as:

• fresh fish and shellfish
• meat, poultry, and sausage
• deli salads
• dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, cream, etc.
• Any type of food can in fact be stored in this compartment, as long as it is packaged.

Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.
Always keep these foods covered or wrapped.
Observe the following tips if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (e.g., food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):

• Only place fresh food in the appliance as the initial condition of the food is crucial to maintaining freshness.

• Clean the compartments in the PerfectFresh Active zone before storing food in them.

• Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.

• Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see “Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator section”).

• Select the correct PerfectFresh Active compartment for the food as well as the correct position for the compartment lid (low humidity or humidity increased ).

• An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if the food is stored unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.

• Do not overfill the compartments.

• If you find that too much condensate has formed when using the setting and this is affecting the food:
  – Wipe off any condensate with a cloth.
  – Place a rack or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drain away.
  – Open the compartment lid by moving it to the low humidity position and switch the humidifier off.

• If the humidity level is too low despite the setting, wrap the food in airtight packaging.

• If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone is too high or too low, try regulating it slightly first by changing the temperature in the refrigerator section by 1 or 2°F. If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the PerfectFresh Active compartments, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.

• If adjusting the temperature in the refrigerator section does not remedy the problem, adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see “The correct temperature”).

Freezing and storing food

Always observe USDA food safety guidelines.
Risk of fire from electrical appliances.
Operating electrical devices in the appliance can cause sparks to form.
Do not operate any electrical devices inside the appliance.
What happens when you freeze fresh food?
Health risk caused by decomposing food.
If the temperature in the freezer remains above 0°F (-18°C) for a long time, the frozen food may start to defrost. This will reduce the storage life of the food.
Check whether the frozen food has started to defrost. If it has, use the food as soon as possible or cook it before freezing it again.
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible so that the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance, and flavor are maintained.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have less time to lose moisture, so they shrink significantly less. As there is not so much moisture loss, it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process, and very little water collects around the defrosted food.
Maximum freezing capacity
To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24hour period is given on the data plate: “Freezing capacity … lbs/24 hrs”.
Storing frozen food
When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, make sure to check:
– that the packaging is not damaged
– the expiration date
– that the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop is 0°F (-18°C) or colder

• Where possible, transport frozen food in an insulated bag and then store it quickly in the refrigeration appliance.

Home freezing
Before placing food in the freezer

• When freezing more than 4.4 lb (2 kg) of fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze function for 6 hours before placing the food in the freezer.

• When freezing even larger amounts of food, switch on the SuperFreeze function for 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer.
  This helps frozen food which is already stored in the freezer to stay frozen.

• Only freeze food that is fresh and in good condition.

Please note that some food is not suitable for freezing. These include, for example, vegetables that are usually eaten raw, such as lettuce or radishes.
Tip: To retain color, taste, aroma, and vitamin C, vegetables should be blanched before they are frozen. To do so, place them portion by portion into boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Then, remove and plunge the vegetables into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Leave the vegetables to drain.
Packaging food for freezing

• Freeze food in portions.
  Tip: Use suitable packaging to avoid freezer burn (such as freezer containers).

• Expel as much air as possible from the packaging and close it tightly.

• Label the packaging with the contents and the date of freezing.

Placing food in the freezer
Risk of damage due to heavy loads.
Loading food which is too heavy can cause damage to the freezer drawers/glass shelves.
Do not exceed the relevant maximum load:
Freezer drawer = 26 Ib (12 kg)
Glass shelf = 77 lb (35 kg)
Unfrozen food should not touch frozen food as this will cause the frozen food to begin to thaw.

• To prevent food sticking together when frozen, make sure that the packaging and containers are dry.

To ensure that food freezes through to the core quickly, do not exceed the following packaging and container sizes:
– fruit and vegetables: max. 2.2 lb (1 kg)
– meat: max. 5.5 lb (2.5 kg)
– Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer drawers.

• Place the food flat in the bottom of the upper freezer drawers so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

– Freezing the maximum amount of food (see data plate)
If the ventilation slots are obstructed, the cooling performance will decrease and energy consumption will increase.
When placing food in the freezer, make sure that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
Tip: You can expand the space available in the freezer section. If you wish to freeze large items, such as turkey or game, you can remove the glass plates between the freezer drawers.

• Remove the upper freezer drawers.
• Place the food flat on the upper glass plates so that it freezes through to the middle as quickly as possible.

Once the food has frozen:

• Switch the SuperFreeze function off.
• Place the frozen food in the freezer drawers and push them back in.

Storage time for frozen food

The storage times given are guidelines only.
Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging.
By keeping the freezer section at a constant temperature of 0°F (-18°C) and taking appropriate hygiene measures you can maximize the storage life of your food and avoid food waste.
Cooling drinks quickly
To cool drinks quickly in the refrigerator section, switch on the Automatic SuperCool function .
If you want to cool a large amount of drinks, or if you want to cool drinks in the freezer section, select Party mode in Settings mode .
When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles are not left in for more than one hour. Otherwise they could burst.

Making ice cubes

Check and pay attention to the following before switching the ice-cube maker on:

• The ice-cube maker must be clean.
• The refrigeration appliance must be switched on.
• The ice-cube drawer contains an adjustable partition. You can adjust the size of the area in which the ice cubes will collect depending on the amount of ice you require.
• The drawer area below the ice-cube maker must be empty.
• Ice cubes can only be made when the ice-cube drawer is completely closed.

Risk to health due to contaminated water.
Bacteria can develop in water which has been sitting in the water-supply lines for too long. This poses a risk to your health.
Throw away the first 3 batches of ice cubes made after the ice-cube maker is started up, as the water will have been used for the initial rinsing of the water-supply line.
This applies to the initial commissioning as well as when using the ice-cube maker again after it has been switched off for an extended period of time (more than 5 days).
When using the appliance for the first time, it can take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to drop out of the ice cube maker and collect in the drawer.
After the ice-cube maker has been turned off and on again, it can take up to 6 hours for this process to be completed.
Only make normal domestic quantities of ice cubes with the ice-cube maker.
The ice-cube maker can make up to approx. 2.6 lb (1.2 kg) of ice cubes in 24 hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the appliance depends on the temperature in the freezer section. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes are produced.
Switching the ice-cube maker on and off

• Tap .
• Swipe left or right until is shown in the middle.
• Tap .
  will light up orange when the ice cube maker is switched on.

Once the freezer section has cooled down to its set temperature, the ice cube maker will fill with water.

As soon as ice cubes are produced, they will empty automatically from the integrated ice-cube tray and into the drawer. The ice-cube tray cannot be removed.
Ice-cube production is halted automatically when the ice-cube drawer is full. The drawer will not fill up to the top edge.
Tip: Empty the ice-cube drawer at regular intervals, or if you have not produced any ice for more than a week. This will ensure that you always have fresh ice and the ice cubes will not form a clump.
The ice-cube maker can be turned off independently of the freezer section if you do not want to make any ice cubes.
If the ice-cube maker is switched off, food up to a maximum height of 4″ (10 cm) can be placed in the ice cube drawer and frozen.
Defrosting
WARNING! DANGER of injury and damage!
Do not use any mechanical or other types of aids which are not recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting process.
Refrigerator section and PerfectFresh Active zone
The refrigerator section and the PerfectFresh Active zone defrost automatically.
The condensate drains through a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the refrigeration appliance. The warmth generated by the compressor causes the condensate to evaporate automatically.
Keep the condensate channel and drain hole clean to enable this. The condensate must always be able to drain properly.
Freezer section
The appliance is equipped with a “No Frost” system. The freezer defrosts automatically.
The moisture generated in the appliance collects on the condenser and is automatically defrosted and evaporates periodically.
This automatic defrosting system enables the Freezer Zone to remain permanently ice-free. However, the food stored in the freezer will not defrost.
