							Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the appliance cannot
rise unnoticed and to avoid energy
being wasted if a door is left open.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.
Temperature alarm
An alarm will sound if the temperature
becomes too warm.
The alarm off sensor will flash red and
the Freezer symbol will flash.
The alarm will sound, the alarm off
sensor will light up red and the relevant
symbol will flash, for example,
– if a lot of room air enters the freezer
section when food is being loaded,
rearranged or taken out.
–
when freezing large amounts of food
at once.
–
in the event of a power cut.
The alarm will stop and the indicators
will go out as soon as the temperature
has dropped down to the correct level
again.
Switching the temperature
alarm off early

switch the alarm off early if you wish.
^Touch the alarm off sensor.
The alarm will stop.
The alarm off sensor will light up
constantly and the relevant symbol
will continue to flash until the correct
temperature has been reached.
However, if the temperature in the
freezer section remains above
-18 °C for a long time, check that the
frozen food has not started to
defrost. If it has, check that the food
is safe to use and if it is, then use it
as soon as possible.

The Refrigerator symbol will light up
yellow.
^Touch the Super cool sensor. It will
light up yellow.
The appliance will then work at full
power to lower the temperature in the
refrigerator section.Switching off Super cool
The Super cool function will switch itself
off automatically after approx. 6 hours.
The appliance will then continue to
work at normal power.
To save energy, the Super cool function
can be switched off once food and
drinks are sufficiently chilled.
^Select the refrigerator section.
The Refrigerator symbol will light up
yellow.
^Touch the Super cool sensor. It will
dim to a pale yellow colour.
The appliance will continue running at
normal power.
Using Super cool, Super freeze and Dynamic cooling

							Super freeze
Switch the Super freeze function on
before putting fresh food into the
freezer section.
This helps food to freeze quickly and
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours
and appearance.
Super freeze is not necessary:
–when placing food in the freezer that
is already frozen.
–when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food
daily.
Switching on Super freeze
When freezing small quantities of food
in the freezer, the Super freeze function
should be switched on6 hours
beforehand. When freezingthe
maximum load of foodthe Super
freeze function should be switched on
24 hours beforehand.
^
Select the freezer section.
The Freezer symbol will light up
yellow.
^
Touch the Super freeze sensor. It will
light up yellow.
The appliance will then work at full
power to lower the temperature in the
freezer section.Switching off Super freeze
Depending on the amount of food
placed in the freezer section, the Super
freeze function will switch off
automatically after approx. 30 to 65
hours. The appliance will then continue
to work at normal power.
To save energy, the Super freeze
function can be switched off once a
constant temperature of -18 °C or
colder has been reached in the freezer
section.
^Select the freezer section.
The Freezer symbol will light up
yellow.
^
Touch the Super freeze sensor. It will
dim to a pale yellow colour.
The appliance will continue running at
normal power.
Using Super cool, Super freeze and Dynamic cooling
25
 
						

							Dynamic coolingm
When the Dynamic cooling function is
not switched on, the natural circulation
of air in the appliance will cause
different temperature zones in the
refrigerator as the cold, heavy air will
sink to the lowest section of the
appliance. You should bear this in mind
when placing food in the appliance
(see Using the refrigerator efficiently).
However, if you are placing a large
amount of food in the refrigerator at any
one time, it is a good idea to switch on
Dynamic cooling. This way you can
distribute the temperature inside the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
The temperature is set as normal.
Dynamic cooling should also be
selected when:
– the ambient temperature in the room
is high (above approx. 30 °C), and
–
the room humidity level is high.Switching on Dynamic cooling
^Select the refrigerator section.
The Refrigerator symbol will light up
yellow.
^Touch the Dynamic cooling sensor. It
will light up yellow.
Switching off Dynamic cooling
^Select the refrigerator section.
The Refrigerator symbol will light up
yellow.
^
Touch the Dynamic cooling sensor. It
will dim to a pale yellow colour.
The fan automatically switches off
when the door is open.

							Different storage zones
Due to the natural circulation of the air
in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator.
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest
section of the appliance. Make use of
the different zones when placing food
in the appliance.
This appliance has Dynamic
cooling, which helps to keep an
even temperature when the fan is
running. When Dynamic cooling is
switched on, the difference between
the various zones is less
pronounced.
Warmest area
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this for storing butter
and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in a refrigerator is
directly above the vegetable
containers.
Use this for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.
–
fish, meat, poultry,
–
sausage products, ready meals,
–
dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
–
fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
–
soft cheese and other dairy
products,–pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a label stating it
should be kept at a temperature of
approx. 4 °C.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Do not store cooking oil in the
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can
cause stress cracks to occur in the
plastic components in the door.
Food must not touch the back wall of
the refrigerator, as it may freeze to
the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator. Do not
cover the fan in the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this is essential for
keeping the appliance cool.

							Food which should not be
stored in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration,
as some food is sensitive to cold.
Cucumbers, for example, become
glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes
sweet. Tomatoes and oranges lose their
aroma, and the peel on citrus fruit
hardens.
Food which should not be stored in a
refrigerator includes:
–pineapple, pomegranate, bananas,
avocado, mangos, papaya, passion
fruit, citrus fruit
– fruit which is not yet ripe
– aubergines/egg plant, cucumbers,
potatoes, peppers/capsicum,
tomatoes, courgettes,
– some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan
When shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh,
and how long it can be kept in the
refrigerator. Time out of the refrigerator,
e.g. during transportation, should be
kept to a minimum. For example, do not
allow food to stay in a hot car for too
long. Once food has started to
deteriorate, this process cannot be
reversed. As little as two hours outside
the refrigerator can cause food to start
deteriorating.
Storing food correctly
Food should generally be stored
covered or packaged. This will prevent
food smells from affecting other foods,
food from drying out, and also any
cross-contamination of bacteria. The
growth of bacteria, such as salmonella,
can be avoided by setting the correct
temperature and maintaining good
standards of hygiene.
Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables may be stored
loose in the vegetable containers.
Please be aware that not all types of
fruit and vegetables are suitable for
storing in the same container. Aromas
and flavours can transfer from one type
of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb
the smell and flavour of onions very
easily). Some food also gives off a
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up
the rate at which other food perishes.
– Examples of fruit and vegetables
which produce a large amount of
this natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,
peaches, plums, avocado, figs,
blueberries, melons and beans.
Using the refrigerator efficiently
28
 
						

							–Examples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of
fruit and vegetables are:
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers,
tomatoes, pears, nectarines and
peaches.
Example: Broccoli should not be
stored with apples, as apples
produce a large amount of natural
gas to which broccoli is very
sensitive. The result is a shorter than
expected storage time for the
broccoli.
Unpacked meat and vegetables
Unpackaged meat and vegetables
should be stored separately. To avoid
any microbiological cross-
contamination, these foods may only be
stored together if they are wrapped.
Protein rich foods
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.Meat
Meat should be stored unwrapped.
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat
loosely covered, and leave containers
open). This permits air to circulate
around the meat, allowing the surface
to dry slightly, which helps prevent the
growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk
of bacterial cross-contamination and
meat deteriorating, do not let one type
of meat come into direct contact with
another type.

							Moving the shelves
The shelves in the refrigerator section
can be adjusted according to the
height of the food.
^Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards
slightly until the notch at the side is in
line with the shelf support. It can then
be raised or lowered to the required
level.
The raised edge at the back must face
upwards to prevent food from touching
the back of the appliance and freezing
to it.
Stoppers prevent the shelves from
being dislodged by mistake.
Split shelf
In order to accommodate tall items in
the appliance, one of the shelves is
divided. The front section can be
pushed under the rear section.
^Push the rear half of the glass shelf
up slightly from below.
^
At the same time, pull the front half of
the glass shelf forwards slightly and
then push it carefully under the rear
half.To move the split shelf:
^Take both halves of the split glass
shelf out,
^fit the two brackets onto the supports
on either side at the required height,
^and push the glass shelves in one
after the other.
The shelf with the raised edge must
be at the back.
Fruit and vegetable containers
on rollers
The fruit and vegetable containers are
pushed in and out on rollers, and can
be completely removed if necessary.
The rollers can also be removed for
cleaning.
