Snack container
Store packaged food or small snacks in the snack container. You can remove the snack container. To do this, pull out and remove the snack container. You can move the holder for the snack container.

Storage container
The temperatures in the storage container are lower than in the refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below 0 °C may occur occasionally. In order to reach temperatures close to 0 °C in the storage container, set the refrigerator compartment temperature to 2 °C. → Page 18 Use the lower temperatures in the storage container to store highly perishable food, e.g. fish, meat, and sausages. Fruit and vegetable container with humidity control Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose in the fruit and vegetable container. Cover any chopped fruit and vegetables, or store them in air-tight packaging. you can adjust the humidity in the fruit and vegetable container using the humidity controller and a special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored for up to twice as long as with conventional storage.

The air humidity in the fruit and vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of food to be stored by pressing the humidity controller:
Low humidity is required when primarily storing fruit or mixed items, or if the appliance is very full.
High humidity is required when primarily storing vegetables or when the appliance is not very full.
Condensation may form in the fruit and vegetable containers depending on the food and quantity stored.
Remove the condensation with a dry cloth and adjust the air humidity to a lower setting using the humidity controller.
To ensure that the quality and aroma are retained, store fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to the 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.
Butter and cheese compartment Store butter and hard cheese in the butter and cheese compartment.

Door rack
To adjust the door rack as required, you can remove the door rack and re- insert it elsewhere. → “Removing door rack”, Page 26

Making ice cubes
Use only drinking water to make ice cubes. Remove the ice cube tray, fill ¾ full with drinking water, and re-insert⁠.

Note : If it is filled with too much drinking water, this may impair the function of the ice cube maker. The ice cubes cannot be removed individually from the ice cube tray. Too much drinking water was added
and is running into the ice cube container, causing any ice cubes to freeze together.

When the ice cubes are frozen, rotate the knob on the ice cube tray several times in a clockwise direction and release it.
The ice cubes will loosen and fall into the ice cube container.
Pull out the ice storage container and remove the ice cubes.

Refrigerator compartment You can keep meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, prepared meals, and pastries in the refrigerator compartment. The temperature can be set from 2 °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.
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 in front of the inner ventilation openings or in direct contact with the back wall.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing it in the appliance.
Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.

Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the storage container.
Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages, and meat in the coldest zone.

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.

Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, freeze food, and make ice cubes in the freezer compartment.
The temperature can be set from 16 °C to −24 °C.
Long-term storage of food should beat –18 °C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable food long-term. The low temperatures slow down or stop the spoilage.

Fully utilizing the freezer compartment volume

Learn how to store the maximum amount of frozen food in the freezer compartment.
Remove all fittings from the freezer compartment. → Page 25
Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor of the freezer compartment.
Tips for storing food in the freezer compartment

WARNING
Risk of electric shock! Incorrect repairs are dangerous.

Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff.
Only use genuine spare parts when repairing the appliance.
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s Customer Service, or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent any risk. $BOSCH-KGN56-Fridge-Freezer-FIG- $26$$ $BOSCH-KGN56-Fridge-Freezer-FIG- $27$$

Fault Cause and troubleshooting
The set temperature is not reached. Fully automatic defrosting no longer works. The freezer compartment door was open for a long time. The evaporator (refrigeration unit) in the no-frost system is heavily iced up. Requirement: Store the frozen food well-insulated in a cool place.

Switch off the appliance. → Page 18
Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch it off the circuit breaker in the fuse box.
Move the appliance away from the wall. Leave the appliance door open. a After approx. 20 minutes, the condensation starts to run into the evaporation pan at the rear of the appliance. To prevent the evaporation pan from overflowing, mop up the condensation water with a sponge.
The evaporator is defrosted if no more condensation water runs into the evaporation pan.
Clean the interior of the appliance. → Page 25
Switch the appliance back on. → Page 17 the temperature differs greatly from the setting.

Different causes are possible

Switch off the appliance. → Page 18
Switch the appliance back on after five minutes. → Page 17
If the temperature is too warm, check the temperature again after a couple of hours.
If the temperature is too cold, check the temperature again on the following day. Condensation accumulates on the surface of the appliance and on the shelves inside.

The water contained in warm and humid air condenses on the colder surfaces of the appliance. Wipe away the water with a soft, dry cloth. Open the appliance as briefly as possible. Ensure that the appliance is always closed properly

Fault
Cause and troubleshooting
The appliance hums, bubbles, buzzes, gargles, clicks or crackles.
