humidity controller on the partition and a special seal.
The air humidity in the fruit and vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of food to be stored by turning the humidity controller:
- Low humidity required when primarily storing fruit or mixed items, or if the appliance is very full.
- High humidity required when primarily storing vegetables or when the appliance is not very full.
Condensation may form in the fruit and vegetable container depending on the
food and quantity stored. Remove the condensation with a dry cloth and adjust
the air humidity using the humidity controller. To ensure that the quality and
aroma are retained, store fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to cold
outside of the appliance at temperatures of approx. 8 °C to 12 °C, e.g.
pineapple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucumbers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes
and potatoes.

Basic operation
7.1 Switching on the appliance
-
Press .
√ The appliance begins to cool. -
Set the required temperature. → Page 15
7.2 Operating tips
- Once you have switched on the appliance, the set temperature is only reached after several hours. Do not put any food in the appliance until the set temperature has been reached.
- The housing to the left, the right and beneath the cool-fresh compartment may heat up slightly temporarily. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
- When you close the door, a vacuum may be created. The door is then difficult to open again. Wait a moment until the vacuum is offset.
7.3 Switching off the appliance
- Press ****.
7.4 Setting the temperature
Setting the refrigerator compartment temperature
- Press -/ + repeatedly until the temperature display shows the required temperature. The recommended temperature in the refrigerator compartment is 4 °C.

Setting 0 corresponds to a temperature of around 0 °C. You can set the
temperature in the cool-fresh compartment to 3 settings warmer or colder.
Tip: If frost forms on the food items in the cool-fresh compartment, set
a higher cool-fresh compartment temperature.
- Press and hold super until the tem- perature display flashes.
- Press / to change the setting.
– Setting –3 corresponds to the coldest setting.

Switching on Super cooling
- Press super .
√ super lights up.
Note: After approx. 15 hours, the appliance switches to normal operation.
Switching off Super cooling
- Press super.
√ The previously set temperature is displayed.
Alarm
9.1 Door alarm
If the appliance door is open for a while, the door alarm switches on.
A warning tone sounds.
Switching off the door alarm
- Close the appliance door or press alam.
√ The warning tone is switched off.
Refrigerator compartment
You can keep dairy products, eggs, prepared meals, pastries, open preserves
and hard cheese in the refrigerator compartment. The temperature can be set
from 3 °C to 8 °C. The refrigerator compartment can also be used to store
highly perishable foods in the short to medium term. The lower the selected
temperature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
10.1 Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment
- Only store food when fresh and undamaged.
- Store food covered or in air-tight packaging.
- To avoid impeding the circulation of air and to prevent food from freezing, do not place food directly against the back wall.
- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance.
- Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
10.2 Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is on the partition and in the door rack for large bottles.
Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages and meat in the
cool-fresh compartment. → “Cool-fresh compartment”, Page 17
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
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.
Cool-fresh compartment
In the cool-fresh compartment, you can keep fresh food fresh up to three times
longer than in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is kept at around 0 °C.
Storing food in the fresh compartment retains the quality of the food better.
The low temperature and the optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions
for fresh food.
11.1 Storage times in the cool-fresh compartment at 0 °C
The storage times are dependent on the original quality of your food.
Food | Storage time |
---|---|
Fresh fish, seafood | up to 3 days |
Poultry, meat (boiled/fried) | up to 5 days |
Beef, pork, lamb, sausage (cold meat) | up to 7 days |
