When Purchasing Food, Please Note:

The freshness at point of purchase is important for the shelf-life of your food.

In principle, the fresher the produce when placed in the "Cool-Fresh" Container, the longer it stays fresh. Therefore, when buying food, always pay attention to the degree of freshness.

Observe the expiration date specified by the manufacturer for ready products and bottled products.

Arranging Food in the Appliance

■Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This will retain the aroma, color and freshness of the food. In addition, flavors will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discolored.

■Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.

■Do not block air outlet openings with food in the refrigerator compartment, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.

■Avoid contact of oil and fat with the plastic parts and door seal.

Super Cooling

Super cooling cools the Refrigerator Compartment as cold as possible for approx. 6 hours. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode.

We recommend the following controller position:

■COLD: Meat, sausage and poultry

■COLDER: Fish

14 Freezer Compartment

Warning:

Caution:

Using the Freezer Compartment ■To store deep-frozen food. ■To make ice cubes. ■To freeze food.

Note: Ensure that the Freezer Compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The Freezer Compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also, energy is wasted due to high power consumption!

Freezing and Storing Food

Purchasing Frozen Food ■Packaging must not be damaged. ■Use by the "expiration" date. ■Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower. ■If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place immediately in the Freezer Compartment.

Freezing Fresh Food Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and color, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Eggplants, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.

Note: Keep food that is to be frozen away from food that is already frozen. ■The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, and ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts. ■The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables that are usually consumed raw such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing Frozen Food To prevent food from losing its flavor or drying out, place in airtight containers.

Suitable Packaging: Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminum foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable Packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.

Items Suitable for Sealing Packaged Food: Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc. Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Therefore, we recommend that you always pay careful attention to buying the freshest food possible.

In the case of prepared dishes or packaged food, the product expiration date indicated by the manufacturer must be taken into account.

Points to Consider When Placing Food in the Appliance

■ Place packaged food or cover food in the unit. This prevents food from dehydrating, discoloring or losing its nutritional value and aroma. It also prevents the mixing of odors and flavors, as well as discoloration of plastic parts.

■ Allow hot food or drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.

■ Do not obstruct or block the air outlet openings with food to allow free air circulation.

Food placed in the vicinity of the air outlet openings may become frozen as a result of cold air coming out of them.

■ Do not allow fats and oils to come into contact with plastic elements inside the refrigerator or the door seal.

Super Cool Function

This function cools the refrigerator compartment for approximately 6 hours until reaching the lowest possible temperature, then switches back to the previously set temperature.

The super cool function is selected in case of: ■before introducing large quantities of food, ■wanting to cool drinks quickly.

Activation

Press the COOL SUPER button.

The display shows the "SUPER" symbol and the compartment for which the function has been selected.

Deactivation

Fresh Drawer

The fresh storage drawer maintains a temperature of approximately 32 °F (0 °C). It is the ideal place to store fish, meat, deli meats, cheese, and milk.

Using the adjustable control, you can slightly reduce the temperature of the fresh drawer.

Select the following positions with the control dial depending on the food to be stored: ■COLD: Meat, deli meats, and poultry ■COLDER: Fish

Freezer Compartment

Warning: Do not store explosive substances in this appliance. There is danger of explosion!

Caution: Do not refreeze food that has thawed or begun to thaw. Cook or roast food before freezing. Never store frozen food for a storage time longer than the maximum permitted.

The freezer compartment is suitable for: ■storing frozen products, ■preparing ice cubes, ■freezing fresh food.

Note: Always ensure that the freezer compartment door is properly closed! If the door is not closed properly, food can thaw. Strong frost accumulation occurs in the freezer compartment. Additionally, high electrical energy consumption occurs.

Freezing and Storing Food

Points to Consider When Buying Frozen Food

■Pay attention to ensure the packaging of the frozen food or product has no damage. ■Verify the expiration date of the food. Make sure it has not expired. ■The freezer temperature indication at the store where you purchase food should show a minimum value of 0 °F (-18 °C). ■When shopping, remember that it is best to buy frozen food at the last moment. Transport it directly home in an isothermal bag. Once home, place it immediately in the freezer compartment.

Super Freezing

To preserve the nutritional value, vitamins and appearance of food, the center must be frozen as quickly as possible.

To prevent an unwanted increase in the internal temperature of the appliance when placing fresh food in the freezing compartment, the super freezing function should be activated several hours before introducing food into the appliance. Normally 4–6 hours is sufficient. To use the maximum freezing capacity of the appliance, the super freezing function should remain activated for 24 hours.

After 48 hours, the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set before activating super freezing.

Activation

Press the FREEZER SUPER button.

The "SUPER¾" symbol and the compartment for which the function has been selected are displayed on the display screen.

Deactivation

Press the FREEZER SUPER button.

Defrosting Food

Depending on the type and nature of use, you can choose from the following methods:

■ Room temperature ■ In the refrigerator ■ In an electric oven, with/without air heater ■ With microwave oven

Note:

Food that has been thawed or has begun to thaw may only be refrozen after roasting, frying, boiling or preparing cooked dishes with it.

In this case, the maximum expiration time of the products should not be exceeded.

Ice Maker

The ice maker produces ice cubes.

As soon as the appliance reaches the set freezing temperature, the ice maker begins producing ice cubes. When the ice cube reservoir is full, the ice cube production process automatically deactivates.

Attention:

Do not place bottles or food in the ice cube reservoir to cool them quickly! The ice cube maker could become blocked and damaged.

Activating the Function

Note:

When connecting the ice maker for the first time or after a long period of inactivity, the first batch of ice cubes should not be consumed for hygiene reasons. Drain the supplied ice cubes and clean the ice cube reservoir.
