Turning on : Touch the Refrigerator On/Off icon and the Freezer On/Off icon so the Temperature Displays light up.
Turning off : To turn off the refrigerator or freezer, touch the corresponding On/Off icon for approximately 3 seconds so the temperature display and interior lights go out.

Setting the Temperature – Figure 8
The appliance is pre-set for normal operation. We recommend temperatures of 38°F (3°C) in the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) in the freezer.

To reduce the temperature:
Touch the DOWN icon on the left to reduce the refrigerator temperature and the DOWN icon on the right to reduce the freezer temperature.

To increase the temperature:
Touch the UP icon on the left to increase the refrigerator temperature and on the right to increase the freezer temperature.

While you are entering the temperature, the set temperature will flash on the display.
When you touch the temperature setting icons for the first time, the most recent setting is displayed.
You can change the settings in increments of 1°F (1°C) by briefly touching the icons again. If the icons are held, the temperature setting will change faster.
Approximately five seconds after the icon has been released, the display will automatically show the actual freezing or cooling temperature.
You can change the temperatures:
- In the refrigerator – between 37°F and 45°F (3°C and 7°C) and
- In the freezer – between -15°F and 7°F (-27°C and -14°C).

Setting the Temperature

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.

The display will flash:

If you change the temperature or
If the temperature rises by several degrees, indicating cold loss, e.g. if you place fresh, “warm” food in the freezer or if you remove or repack frozen food, the temperature may rise for a short time due to warm air flowing into the freezer.
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.

Freezer Compartment

Freezer Compartment Description

The ice maker is located in the upper drawer on the right side.

The ice cubes fall out of the ice maker into the drawer.

The upper drawer is divided by a partition wall for storing ice cubes in the right part of the drawer (Figure 19).

If you need more ice cube storage space, pull up the partition wall and refit on the adjacent rail (Figure 19).

If you need the whole upper drawer for freezing and storing food, turn off the ice maker (see chapter “Turning the Ice Maker On and Off”).

The bottom drawer is intended for freezing and storing food. Ice cubes can also be stored in this drawer.

Removing the Freezer Compartment Containers

The containers of both freezer drawers can be removed.

Unlatch the container on the left and right corners by pulling upwards (1) – Figure 20.
Slide the container backwards (2) – Figure 20
Tilt the container at an angle and remove – Figure 21

Install the container in the reverse order

Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as rapidly as possible. This is provided by the SuperFrost feature and ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and flavor of the food remains intact.

Freezing with SuperFrost – Figure 22

Touch the SuperFrost icon briefly so the LED turns on.
Wait 24 hours.
Then place the fresh food inside the freezer.
The SuperFrost function turns off automatically. Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer, this will normally be between 30 and a maximum of 65 hours. The freezing process is now complete; the SuperFrost LED will turn off, and the freezer will change back to normal energy-saving operation. IMPORTANT You should not turn on the SuperFrost function:
when placing frozen food in the freezer;
when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs (2 kg) fresh food daily.

Freezing and Storage

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 23)

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. Te 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.
