Food management

Storing food

WARNING Danger of fire

• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Note
Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy consumption and reduction of the refrigerating performance

• Always keep the air slots unobstructed.

When storing food, remember these basic rules:

• Do not obstruct the air vents on the back wall.
• Do not obstruct the air vents on the fan.
• Food is well sealed.
• Raw meat or fish is in clean, sealed containers so that other food cannot be touched or drip on them.
• Food is stored spaced apart to ensure good air circulation.

Note
Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to food perishing.

Freezer
This provides a dry, frosty storage climate at -18 °C. A frosty climate is suitable for storing frozen food and goods for several months, preparing ice cubes, or freezing fresh food.

Freezing food
You can freeze as many kilograms of fresh food within 24 hours as indicated on the nameplate (see 9.5 Rating plate) under “freezing capacity … kg/24h”. To ensure that the food freezes quickly to the core, keep to the following quantities per pack:

• Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg
• Meat up to 2.5 kg

Before freezing, please note the following:

• Appliances without NoFrost: SuperFrost is activated (see 6.3 Functions) when the amount of food to freeze exceeds approx. 1 kg.
• Appliances with NoFrost: SuperFrost is activated (see 6.3 Functions) when the amount of food to freeze exceeds approx. 2 kg.
• With a small amount of frozen goods: SuperFrost is activated approx. 6 hours prior.
• With the maximum amount of frozen goods: SuperFrost is activated approx. 24 hours prior.

Arranging the food:

CAUTION
There is a risk of injury from pieces of broken glass! Bottles and cans containing drinks can split or crack when frozen. This applies in particular to carbonated drinks.

• The BottleTimer function must be used when freezing bottles and cans with drinks.

For appliances smaller than 122 cm:
With a small amount of frozen goods:

• Distribute packaged groceries across all drawers.
• If possible, place groceries at the back of the drawer near the rear wall.
• With the maximum amount of frozen goods:
• Distribute packaged groceries across all drawers.
• If possible, place groceries at the back of the drawer near the rear wall.

For appliances larger than or exactly 122 cm:
With a small amount of frozen goods:

• Distribute packaged groceries across all drawers, but do not place any groceries in the top drawer.
• With the maximum amount of frozen goods:
• Distribute packaged groceries across all drawers.
• If possible, place groceries at the back of the drawer near the rear wall.

For all appliances:
With the maximum amount of frozen goods:

• Once SuperFrost deactivates automatically, place food into the drawer.

Defrosting food

• in the fridge compartment
• in the microwave
• in the oven/fan oven
• at room temperature

WARNING
Danger of food poisoning!

• Do not re-freeze defrosted food.
• Remove only the food you need for now.
• Use defrosted food as quickly as possible

Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray for berries, herbs, vegetables and other small goods without them freezing together in the process. The food keeps its shape and is easier to separate into portions later on.

• Spread food, unsealed, at a good distance apart, over the whole surface of the freezer tray.

Storage times
The storage times given are guidelines Food with a “use by” date must still be consumed by the date indicated on the package

Guidelines for storage periods for various foods

Energy saving

• Always ensure good ventilation. Do not obstruct ventilation openings or grilles.
• Never block air slits in the fan.
• Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to a stove, heater or similar heat source.
• Energy consumption depends on installation conditions such as the ambient temperature (see 1.4 Range of appliance use) . A warmer ambient temperature can increase the energy consumption.
• Avoid opening the appliance door for any longer then necessary
• The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy consumption.
• All food stored in the appliance should be well wrapped and covered. This prevents frost buildup.
• Insertion of warm foods: first let the food cool down to room temperature.
• If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance Defrost the appliance.*

Defrosting the appliance

WARNING
Appliance incorrectly defrosted!* Injuries and damage.

• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use any electrical heating or steam cleaning equipment, naked flames or defrosting sprays.
• Do not remove ice with sharp objects.

**Defrosting with NoFrost***
Defrosting is performed automatically by the NoFrost system. The moisture condenses on the evaporator and is periodically defrosted and evaporated. The appliance does not have to be defrosted.

**Defrosting the freezer compartment manually***

Manual defrosting
A layer of frost or ice forms after longer periods of operation. The following factors may accelerate frost or ice formation:

• The appliance is opened frequently.
• Hot food is placed in the appliance. One day before defrosting:
• Activate SuperFrost (see 6.3 Functions) .
  • “Cold storage accumulators” are applied to the frozen produce.
• Switch off the appliance .
• Disconnect the power plug or fuse.
• Wrap the frozen food in newspaper or blankets and store in a cold place.
• Put a pot with hot (but not boiling) water on a middle shelf of the compartment.
  • or
• Fill the bottom two drawers halffull with lukewarm water and place them inside the appliance.
• This speeds up defrosting.
• Water from the defrosting process will collect in the drawers.
• Leave the appliance door open during the defrosting process.
• Remove pieces of ice that come loose.
• Make sure that the defrosted water does not run into the surrounding furnishings.
• If necessary, soak up the water with a sponge or a cloth several times.
• Clean the appliance (see 8.3 Cleaning the appliance) .
