hydroFresh drawers
The temperature in the hydroFresh
drawers is kept at around 0°C. This
low temperature provides optimum
storage conditions for perishable
goods.
Foods can be kept in the hydr
oFresh
drawers for a much longer period of
time before spoiling than they can if
stored in the normal fridge
compartment.
The hydroFresh drawers are covered
by a special moisture 
filter. This special
filter optimises the air humidity in the
hydroFresh drawers. As a result, the air
humidity in the hydroFresh drawers is
up to 90% relative humidity depending
on how full the
y are. This storage
atmosphere provides optimum
conditions for fresh produce such as
vegetables, salad, herbs, and fruit.
Suitable for fresh cooling:
As a general rule, all fresh food that
needs to stay fresh as long as possible
is suitable. This includes meats and
sausages, fresh fish, seafood, milk,
butter, soft cheese, crème fraîche,
vegetables, and fruit.
Not suitable for fresh
cooling:
Fruit and vegetables that are sensitive
to the cold, such as tropical fruits,
avocado, papaya, passion fruit,
aubergine, cucumber, and peppers.
Also, fruit that needs to ripen, green
tomatoes, and pota
toes should not be
kept here.
When purchasing food,
bear in mind the following:
The freshness of food at the time of
purchase is important when
determining how long it may be kept.
In principle, the following applies: The
fresher the produce when it is placed
into the
 hydroFresh drawers, the
longer it will keep. When purchasing
food, always pay attention to how
fresh it is.
Removing the hydroFresh

!Wa r ning !
Risk of injuries due to rotating crusher
blades!
Do not reach into the ice cube
dispenser opening.
Note the following when
placing the appliance into
operation
The ice and water dispenser only
works if the appliance is connected to
the water supply.
After placing the appliance into
operation, you must wait around
24hours before the first lot 
of ice
cubes is ready.
After the connections are made, air
bubbles are still in the lines.
Draw and discard drinking water until
the water can be drawn without
bubbles. Throw away 
the first five
glasses of water.
When using the ice maker for the first
time, throw away the first 30 to 40 ice
cubes for hygiene reasons.
Notes on using the
appliance
When the freezer compartment has
reached its freezing temperature, water
flows into the ice maker and freezes to
form ice cubes. The finished ice cubes
are automatically discharged into the
ice cube c
ontainer.
Occasionally, the ice cubes stick
together. During transport to the
opening where they are discharged,
they usually separate automatically.
Once the ice cube container is full, the
ice mak
er switches off automatically.The ice maker can produce up to 100
ice cubes in 24 hours assuming that
ice cubes are removed several times a
day. The quantity produced depends
on the room tempera
ture and the
appliance’s temperature setting.
When ice is being produced, you can
hear the water valve, the sound of the
water flowing into the ice bowl, and
the sound of the ice 
cubes falling
down once they have been produced.
Information!
Do not put bottles or food for fast
cooling into the ice cube container.
The ice maker can become blocked
and damaged.
Pay attention to the
quality of the drinking
water
Caution !
The supplied water filter only filters out
particles from the supplied water, and
does not filter out bacteria or
microbes.
All materials used in the water
dispenser are odourless and tas
teless.
If the water has an aftertaste, it may be
for the following reasons:
nMineral and chlorine content of the
drinking water,
nMaterial of household piping or
connection line,
nFreshness of drinking water. If no
water is drawn for a long time, the
water can taste somewhat stale. If
this happens, draw and discard
around 15 glasses of water.
T
he taste and smell of the water can
be improved by the installation of the
supplied water filter in the water inlet.
