Foods management

Storing food

WARNING
Risk of fire Do not use any electrical appliances in the food area of the appliance unless recommended by the manufacturer.

Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling power goes down if ventilation is not sufficient.

  • Always keep air slots clear.

When storing food, always observe the following

  • Air vents on the inside rear wall are unobstructed.
  • Air vents on the fan are unobstructed.
  • Food is in sealed packaging.
  • Raw meat and fish are in clean, sealed containers to prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.
  • Foods are not stored too closely together, as the air needs to circulate.

Note
Cook defrosted food as soon as possible.Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to food perishing.

Freezer compartment
This provides a dry, frosty storage climate at -18 °C. A frosty climate is great for storing frozen food and frozen goods for several months, making ice cubes and 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 Model plate) under “freezing capacity … kg/24h”.
So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, keep to the following quantities per pack:

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

Before freezing goods, please make sure of the following:

  • SuperFrost is activated (see 6.3 Functions) when the amount of food to freeze exceeds approx. 2 kg.
  • With a small amount to freeze: SuperFrost is on for about 6 hours beforehand.
  • With a maximum amount to freeze: SuperFrost is on for about 24 hours beforehand.

Arrange your food as follows:

  • CAUTION
    Risk of injury from glass fragments!

  • Drink bottles and cans may explode if frozen. This applies particularly to carbonated drinks.
    Only freeze drink bottles and cans when using the bottle timer function.

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 a 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 a 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 a maximum amount of frozen goods

  • Once SuperFrost turns off automatically, place the food in the drawer compartment.

Defrost the food

  • In the fridge
  • In the microwave
  • In the stove/oven
  • At room temperature

WARNING
Risk of food poisoning!

  • Do not re-freeze thawed food.
  • Only take out the food you need at the time.

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.
You can also store the freezer packs in the freezer tray to save space.

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

Storage times
Refer to the specified storage times as a guide.
In the case of foods with a minimum shelf life, the date indi-cated on the packaging still applies.

Recommended storage period for various types of food

Ice cream| at -18 °C| 2 to 6 months
Sausages, ham| at -18 °C| 2 to 3 months
Bread, baked goods| at -18 °C| 2 to 6 months
Game, pork| at -18 °C| 6 to 9 months
Fatty fish| at -18 °C| 2 to 6 months
Recommended storage period for various types of food

Lean fish| at -18 °C| 6 to 8 months
Cheese| at -18 °C| 2 to 6 months
Poultry, beef| at -18 °C| 6 to 12 months
Vegetables, fruit| at -18 °C| 6 to 12 months

Saving energy

  • Pay attention to good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation holes or grids.
  • Always keep the fan air slits clear.
  • Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight, next to an oven, radiator or similar.
  • Energy consumption depends on the installation conditions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.3 Appliance range of use) . A warmer ambient temperature can increase energy consumption.
  • Open the appliance for as short a time as possible.
  • The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy consumption.
  • Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents frost from forming.
  • Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temperature first.

IceMaker
The IceMaker will produce ice cubes for household use only. Ensure that the following conditions are met:

  • The iceMaker is cleaned (see 8 Maintenance) .
  • IceMaker drawer is fully inserted.

Producing ice cubes
The volume depends on the freezing temperature. The colder the temperature, the more ice cubes the system can produce in a certain time period.
After the IceMaker is turned on for the first time, it can take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to be made.

  • Activate the IceMaker function (see 6.2 Control concept) .
  • To make a high number of ice cubes: Activate the MaxIce function (see 6.2 Control concept) .
  • Distribute the ice cubes evenly in the drawer to increase the capacity.
  • Closing the drawer: IceMaker starts making ice cubes again automatically.

Note
When a certain level is reached in the IceMaker drawer, it stops producing ice cubes. The IceMaker does not fill the drawer all the way to the top.
