Starting up and temperature regulation


1.Insert the plug into the plug socket. When the refrigerator compart-
ment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on.
2.Press ON/OFF button.
The green mains pilot indicator and the temperature displayilluminate.
3.Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button.
The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature
currently set flashes on the temperature display.
4.Set the required temperature by pressing the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“
(COLDER) buttons (see section Temperature setting buttons). The
temperature display will immediately show the changed setting. With
each further press of one of the two buttons, the DESIRED tempera-
ture is adjusted by 1°C.
Adjustable temperature range: +3°Cto +8°C.
Note:From a food safetypoint of view, +5°C for the refrigerator com-
partment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
5.Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period
(approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate
the current ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will
change from flashing to continuous illumination.
The compressor will start and then run automatically.
Information!When the setting is changed, the compressor does not
start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. 
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching
on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly
reached.
In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled
automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is neces-
sary.
Note:The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly
cools food stuffs and ensuresoptimal distribution of the temperature
between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
This results in the fan operating at different speeds for different
lengths of time. This is quite normal and not a fault with the appli-
ance.

Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
On the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, just above the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, you can easy place can and bottles in
horizontal position. The structure of
this area will prevent the bottles and
cans from moving around.
The height of the storage shelves can
be adjusted:

1.To do this pull the storage shelf for-
ward until it can be swivelled
upwards or downwards and removed.
2.Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different height.
Your appliance is equipped with two half-size glass storage shelves.
Storing tall items:
Slide the front half of the Vario storage shelf in another level to the
rear. By this means you will gain space to place tall items on the stor-
age shelf below.

Variable Inner Door
The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at
other positions as needed.
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment
In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled
automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is nec-
essary.
The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative
humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the
various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C
compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better qual-
ity compared to normal refrigerator compartments. 
This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness,
quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well pre-
served. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields a
higher degree of nutritional value.
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days in the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
Variable Storage Box
Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under
a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. 
The box can be inserted under any
door shelf compartment.
1. To change the position of the storage
box; lift the shelf compartment with
the box upwards and out of the hol-
ders in the door and remove the retai-
ning bracket out of the guide under
the shelf compartment.
2. Reverse the above operation to insert
the shelf at a different height.

LONGFRESH 0°C compartment
Humidity control
Both bottom drawers can be used
according to the desired storage
conditions independently of each
other with lower or higher
humidity. 
Regulation for each drawer is sep-
arate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer.
„Dry“: low air humidity - upto 50 % relative humidity
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this
position  and the ventilation openings are wide open.
„Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this posi-
tion and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept
and can not escape. 
Drawers
In this drawer thehumidity is
not adjustable
The wire shelves inside the
drawers permit that air can
circulate freely and conse-
quently a better conservation
of foods.
The compartment has stops
to prevent the drawers from
falling out when fully
extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g.
for cleaning purposes), pull
them out as far as the stops,
lift and extract.

Correct storage
The refrigerator compartment is fitted with a fan. This quickly cools
food stuffs and ensuresoptimal distribution of the temperature
between the fridge and the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
The following can be conserved in the refrigeration compartment:
- beverages, preserves, jars, bottles;
- baked goods, prepared foods;
- products with short-term expiration;
- foods which are not suitable for conservation at the temperature of 
the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment.
Tips:
Do not place warm foods or uncovered liquids in the refrigerator. 
Place foods in such a way that air can circulate freely. 
Keep butter and cheese in the special compartment to guarantee
their consistency and aroma. 
Foods, and especially salad, must be kept well covered or packagedin
such a way that they do not dry out and that their flavours and fra-
grances remain unchanged. 
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
High-proof spirits should only be conserved tightly closed and in a
vertical position.
Do not keep explosive or flammable materials in the refrigerator.
Conserve in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment all foods which are
suited to it.

Important! 
Not to be placed in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment:
cold sensitive fruit which have to bestored at cellar or room temper-
ature like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya,
oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the
refrigerator compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.).
Thelevel of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of
humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency
of door opening 
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of
food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the LONGFRESH
0°C compartment for up to two days.
Tips:
Pay attention to thefreshness of the food, especially on the expiry
date. Quality and freshness influence thestorage time.
The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation condi-
tions made prior to the final storage in the fridge.
Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up
before storage.
Animal food always store packed and dry.
Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will
spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing
foodin a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can be
increased by up tothree times as well without loss on quality.
All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the
drawersroughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit
and vegetablesto be consumed without any additional cooking
process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature
will improve the texture and flavour.
