Storage Shelves
The shelf in the lowest runners above the fruit and vegetable drawer is 
stopped with plastic corners on the back. It must always remain in this 
position, so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh for longer. To remove 
the stops, the plastic corners must be twisted 90° forwards and to the 
outside.
The remaining storage shelves can 
be adjusted to various heights:
0 1.Pull the storage shelf forward until 
it can be tipped up or down and 
removed.
2.To insert at a different height use 
the same procedure in reverse.
Bottle Rack
Place bottles in the rack with the 
bottleneck to the front. 
Important: Only store unopened 
bottles horizontally. 
The bottle rack can be tilted for 
storing opened bottles. 
0 1.To do this pull the bottle rack for-
ward until it can be tilted 
upwards, then slide the front sup-
port into the next level up.

Fruit/Vegetable Drawer
(not offered in all models)
On some models there is a moisture filter in front of the shelf above the 
fruit and vegetable compartments. 
This preserves the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and 
vegetable compartments for longer. 
FRESH Box
(not offered in all models)
The temperature in the FRESH Box is somewhat lower than in the rest 
of the fridge. It is therefore especially suitable for storing meat, fish 
and chilled meals. The FRESH Box can be pulled out, by lifting up the 
front cover of the box.
Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at 
other positions as needed.
Bottle Holder
Some models are equipped with a 
bottle holder in the bottle compart-
ment. This is used to prevent 
individual bottles from falling over 
and can be slid sideways.
FRUIT-Box
Berries, for example, can be pre-frozen in the FRUIT Box. Advantage: 
The berries are not squeezed and maintain their natural form. The 
frozen berries can then be stored in compartments or drawers packaged 
in individual portions.

Correct storage
The cooling fans ensure an even tem-
perature distribution in the fridge. 
Foods with different perishability can 
therefore be arranged on the shelves as 
you like, without having to take into 
account the different temperature 
zones which usually occur. The temper-
ature in the fruit and vegetable drawer 
is somewhat higher than the fridge 
temperature set. The example arrange-
ment opposite shows possible ways of 
storing food.
Important! Do not place foods too 
closely in front of the vents at the rear 
of the appliance as the foods might 
freeze.
Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator 
compartment should always be covered 
or packed so that they do not dry out, 
lose their flavour, or transfer their 
flavour to any other refrigerated food. 
The following are suitable for packing:
– polyethylene bags;
– plastic containers with lids;
– special plastic covers with rubber retainers;
– aluminium foil.
 
						

							58
Freezing
Warning! 
 Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer 
compartment must be -18 °C or colder.
 Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The 
freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods 
that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several 
days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the 
capacity indicated on the rating plate.
 Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into 
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
0 1.For freezing the maximum capacity press the FROSTMATIC button 24 
hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow 
indicator lights up.
3 The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small 
quantities of up to 3 kg.
2.All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not 
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of 
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution!  Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze 
to the goods.
3.Place packaged goods in the drawers. Unfrozen goods may not come 
into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods 
may start to thaw.
Tips:
 The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– plastic containers for frozen foods;
– extra-thick aluminium foil
 The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps:
plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape.
 Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air 
encourages drying of frozen goods.
 Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
 Do not fill plastic containers for frozen foods to the brim with liquid 
or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up 
time can be requested directly from the manufacturer. 
 
						

							59
Frozen Storage
Warning!  Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with 
previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18 °C 
must be reached.
 Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not 
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of 
other frozen goods can occur.
 Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen 
goods.
2 When possible store frozen goods separately according to type in 
drawers. 
Preparation of Ice Cubes
0 1.Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer tray 
or a drawer and allow to freeze.
2.To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under 
running water for a short time.
Warning!  Do not, under any circumstances, free an ice tray which is 
frozen to the appliance with pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a 
spoon-handle or similar object. 
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
(not included with all models)
 The symbols on the drawers 
show different types of frozen 
goods.
 The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate 
types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi-
cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and 
pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with 
high fat content.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT 
the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
1 Warning! 
 Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning 
products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or 
alcohol.
 Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accu-
mulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot 
vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
 The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Attention!
 Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e. g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance 
parts.
 Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
3 If the refrigerator only is to be cleaned, press the FROSTMATIC button 
several hours in advance, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve in 
the freezer compartment for the interruption in service. Do not open 
the freezer compartment door.
0 1.About 12 hours prior to cleaning push the FROSTMATIC button, in order 
to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.
Caution!  Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze 
to the goods.
2.Remove stored and frozen goods, pack them in several layers of news-
paper, cover them and store them in a cool place.
3.Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or 
switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse.
4.Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of 
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). 
5.Rinse and dry thoroughly.
6.Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean 
and free from debris.

2 Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. 
For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the 
appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
7.After everything is dry place appliance back into service. 
2 Energy Saving Advice
 Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler, 
dishwasher or radiator.
 Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure 
that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
 Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before 
placing in the freezer.
 Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the 
door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the 
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
 Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing 
properly.
 Place frozen goods into the refrigerator for thawing. Cold from fro-
zen goods is thus used for cooling in the refrigerator.
 Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean.
