4 Foods management

4.1 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.
Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste are stored in sealed containers or covered.
Raw meat and fish are in clean, sealed containers to prevent them coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.
Liquids are in sealed containers.
Foods are not stored too closely together, as the air needs to circulate.

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

4.1.1 Fridge section

The natural air circulation creates a range of temperatures.
Arrange your food as follows:

▶ In the top section and in the door: butter and cheese, preserves and tubes.
▶ In the coldest zone Fig. 1 (D): Perishable foods such as ready-to-eat meals, meat and sausages
▶ On the bottom shelf: Raw meat and fish

4.1.2 EasyFresh-Safe

This compartment is great for non-packaged foods, such as fruit and vegetables. The air moisture in the compartment depends on the moisture content of the items being stored and the number of times the door is opened. You can adjust the air moisture.

Arrange your food as follows:
▶ Store your loose fruit and vegetables.
▶ Excessive air moisture: Regulate the air humidity (see 7.8 Adjusting the moisture levels) .

4.1.3 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:

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 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.
▶ Do not freeze bottles and cans of drink!
Appliances with NoFrost: With a small amount to freeze:

Put packaged food in the top drawers. With a maximum amount to freeze:
Remove the top drawers and place the packaged food onto the top shelves.
Appliances without NoFrost: With a small amount to freeze:*
Put packaged food into the bottom drawers. With a maximum amount to freeze:
Remove the bottom drawer and place the packaged food straight into the appliance so that it is in contact with the floor or side walls.
For all appliances: With the maximum frozen quantities:
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.
Cook defrosted food as soon as possible.

4.2 Storage times

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

4.2.1 Fridge section

Always follow the best-before date stated on the packaging.

4.2.2 Freezer compartment

5 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 the energy consumption.
– Open the appliance for as short a time as possible.
– The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy consumption.
– Sort your food: home.liebherr.com/food.
– Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents frost from forming.
– Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it doesn’t warm up too much.
– Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temperature first.
– Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator.
– If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the appliance.*
– For longer periods of absence, use HolidayMode (see HolidayMode) .
