Refrigerating food

The coldest areas are directly above the vegetable compartments and along the back wall. The warmest area is at the top front and in the door.
Note

• Do not overfill the pull-out compartment. It can hold max. 20 kg of food.

Note

• The energy consumption increases and the cooling performance decreases if the ventilation is inadequate.
• Always keep the air slits of the fan free.
• Store perishable foods such as ready-to-eat meals, meat and sausages in the coldest area in the middle. Place butter and preserves in the top area. (see 1 Appliance at a glance)
• Use reuseable plastic, metal, aluminium, glass containers and foil wrap to store food.
• Always store raw meat and fish in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, to prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.
• Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste, as well as liquids, should be stored in sealed containers or covered.
• Do not pack foods too closely together, as the air needs to circulate.

Setting the temperature

The temperature depends on the following factors:

• the frequency of opening the door
• how long the door is open for
• the room temperature of the installation location
• the type, temperature and quantity of the food

Recommended temperature setting: 5 °C
The temperature is changed sequentially. Once the 2 °C setting is reached, the sequence starts again at 9 °C.

• Call up temperature function: press the setting button Fig. 2 (3).
• The previously-set value will flash in the temperature display.
• Change the temperature in 1 °C steps: Press the setting button Fig. 2 (3) until the required temperature is indicated in the temperature display.
• Change temperature continually: hold down setting button.
• During adjustment the value flashes on the display.
• The new setting is adopted approx. 5 seconds after the last time the button was pressed and the set temperature is again displayed. The temperature in the interior gradually adjusts to the new value.

SuperCool

SuperCool is for maximum cooling. This option is for very low temperatures:

• In the fridge compartment

Use SuperCool to quickly cool large amounts of food.
When SuperCool is activated, the fan* may run. The appliance operates with maximum cooling performance, which means that the noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder.

Maintenance

Defrosting

Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosted water will evaporate. Water drops or a thin layer of frost or ice can form on the back wall; this is a completely normal part of the machine’s function.

• Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost water to drain (see 6.2 Cleaning the appliance) .

Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance regularly.

WARNING
Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam! Hot steam can lead to burns and can damage the surfaces.

• Do not use any steam cleaners!

NOTICE
Incorrect cleaning damages the appliance! u Do not use cleaning agents in concentrated form.

• Do not use any scouring or abrasive sponges or steel wool.

• Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents, nor any that contain sand, chloride or acid.

• Do not use chemical solvents.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is important for the customer service.

• Do not pull off, bend or damage cables or other components.

• Do not allow any cleaning water to enter the drain channel, ventilation grille or electrical parts.

• Please use soft cleaning cloths and a universal pH-neutral cleaning agent.

• Please use cleaning and care products suitable for contact with foodstuffs in the appliance interior.

• Empty appliance.

• Pull out the power plug.

• Clean the vent grille regularly.

• Dust deposits increase energy consumption.

• Clean plastic outer and inner surfaces with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid.

• Clean drain hole: Remove deposits with a narrow instrument, e.g. a cotton bud.

• Most of the parts can be dismantled for cleaning: see the relevant chapter.
  Fig. 33

• Removing the shelf: Lift the shelf at the back and draw it forwards, as illustrated.
  Note

• If the shelf can no longer be extended as far as originally, then extend the telescopic rails all the way. The ball retainers of the telescopic rails are realigned in the process and maximum extension is restored.

• Only use a damp cloth to clean the telescopic rails. The grease in the runners is for lubrication purposes and must not be removed.

• To disassemble the cabinet:Lift the inner retaining rods upwards, pull the brackets out. This releases the front and rear retaining rods as well as the glass panel.
