Temperature Display – Figure 8
In normal operation, the following settings will be displayed: · the average refrigerator temperature · the warmest frozen food temperature.
When starting up for the first time or when the appliance is warm, dashes will appear in the freezer temperature display until the temperature in the freezer compartment is 32°F (0°C).
It will take between three and eight hours for the required temperature, 0°F or 38°F (-18°C or 3°C) to be reached and displayed permanently in the display, depending on the ambient conditions and the temperature setting.
If F1 to F5 appears in the display, the appliance has a fault. Have the fault number available when you contact the customer service department.
Power Failure/Frost-control Display –
Figure 8
If the power failure LED is lit, this means the freezer temperature has risen too high during the last few hours or days due to a power failure. The freezer temperature display flashes at the same time.
· If you touch the Alarm icon now, the highest temperature registered during the power failure will be displayed.
· Check the quality of the food in case it has become too warm or even defrosted.
· The highest temperature will appear for approximately one minute. After that, the actual temperature in the freezer will reappear.

· Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
· Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact with food already frozen. Always keep packages dry in order to avoid them sticking together.
· Always write the date and contents on the package and do not exceed the stated storage time for the food. This prevents spoiling.
· Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities right for your household. To ensure the food freezes right through quickly, the following quantities should not be exceeded per package:
– fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);
– meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).
· Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles out of the freezer compartment after an hour at the most.
· Only take out as much food as needed for thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as quickly as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a microwave oven
– in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food because there is less chance of bacteria growth. Use this method for high density food such as roasts or poultry.

Safety Instructions and Warnings for the Automatic Ice Maker
· The ice maker is designed exclusively to make ice cubes in quantities needed by a household.
· All repairs and work on the ice maker may only be done by customer service personnel or other appropriately trained personnel.
· Do not consume or use the first three batches of ice. This applies both to using the appliance for the first time and also using it after it has not been used for a long period of time.
· The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage caused by equipment or water lines between the solenoid valve and the water supply.
· The ice maker will only make ice cubes if the freezer compartment is operating and both freezer drawers are completely closed.
Turning the Ice Maker On and Off
(Figure 25)
To turn the ice maker on · Touch the IceMaker icon so the IceMaker LED
comes on.
To turn the ice maker off If you do not need any ice cubes, the ice maker can be turned off independently of the freezer compartment.

Ice maker at vacations See chapter “Vacation tips”

Ice Maker Description
After you start the ice maker for the first time, it may take up to 24 hours before the first ice cubes are ready.
The ice cubes fall out of the ice maker into the drawer (see chapter “Freezer compartment description”).
IMPORTANT The first three batches of ice must not be consumed or used.
When the ice reaches a certain level in the drawer, the appliance stops producing ice automatically.
The production capacity is 100 – 120 ice cubes in 24 hours at a temperature of 0°F (-18°C) inside the freezer compartment.
To have the maximum capacity of approx. 150 ice cubes in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost function.
Be aware that this increases the energy consumption because the compressor will run constantly.
Note If the IceMaker LED flashes, the ice maker is not being supplied with water. Check if the shut off valve of the water supply is opened.

DefrosTing / Cleaning

Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The water that forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.
Freezer compartment The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the freezer compartment. Any moisture will collect on the evaporator and freeze. It will periodically defrost and evaporate.

TroubleshooTing

Troubleshooting
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life and reliable operation.
If a problem occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error. Please note that even during the warranty period, some repair costs may be your responsibility.
You may be able to correct the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:

Problem Appliance does not work, display is off
The interior light does not come on Motor seems to run too long
The temperature is not cold enough
Freezer temperature display shows two dashes ”- -“.

Possible Cause and Remedy
– Is the appliance turned on properly? – Is the power cord properly inserted in the outlet? – Is the circuit breaker or fuse in operating condition?
– Is the appliance turned on?
– Is the ambient temperature too hot? See Safety Regulations. – Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long? – A large amount of food has been added. – Unit is in SuperCool mode. Verify unit is in normal operation mode.
– Is the temperature setting correct? See Setting The Temperature. – Has an excessive amount of fresh food been placed in the appliance? – Does a separately installed thermometer show the correct reading? – Is the ventilation system working properly? – Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?
The freezer temperature display will only show temperatures that are below freezing. When initially starting the freezer, it will not be below freezing. It will take three to five hours (depending on ambient conditions) for freezing temperatures to be achieved and thus displayed numerically. This may also occur after a power failure.
