Refrigerator compartment	10
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.	10
Storing food	10
■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.	10
■ In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.	10
■ To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavors and the discoloration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.	10
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.	10
Note:	10
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment	10
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:	10
■ Coldest zone is on the rear panel inside the appliance and on the cold storage compartment. See chapter “Getting to know your appliance”.	10
Note:	10
■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.	10
Note:	10
Vegetable container with humidity controller	10
To create the optimum storage climate for fruit and vegetables, you can set the air humidity in the vegetable container depending on the quantity stored:	10
■ smaller quantities of fruit and vegetables – high air humidity	10
■ large quantities of fruit and vegetables – low air humidity	10
Note:	10
Cold storage compartment	10
See chapter “Getting to know your appliance” The cold storage compartment has lower temperatures than the refrigerator compartment. Even temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C) may occur.	10
Ideal for storing fish, meat and sausage. Not suitable for lettuce, vegetables and produce sensitive to cold.	10
Super cooling	11
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.	11
Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.:	11
■ before placing large quantities of food in the compartment.	11
■ for the fast cooling of drinks.	11
Switching on and off	11
Press button „super refrigerator“6.	11
The button is lit when super cooling is switched on.	11
Freezer compartment	11
Using the freezer compartment	11
■ To store deep-frozen food.	11
■ To make ice cubes.	11
■ To freeze food.	11
Note:	11
Max. freezing capacity	11
Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter “Customer service”).	11
Freezing and storing food	11
Purchasing frozen food	11
■ Packaging must not be damaged.	11
■ Use by the “use by” date.	11
■ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F or lower.	11
■ If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.	11
When loading products	11
■ Preferably freeze large quantities of food in the top compartment, where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.	11
■ Place the food over the whole area of the compartments or the frozen food containers.	11
Note:	11
Storing frozen food	11
Insert frozen food container all the way to ensure unrestricted air circulation.	11
If large quantities of food are to be stored in the freezer, all the frozen food containers (except the bottom one) can be taken out of the appliance and the food stacked directly on the freezer shelves.	11
To remove a frozen food container, pull out all the way, lift at the front and remove.	11
Freezing fresh food	12
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.	12
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.	12
Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.	12
Note:	12
■ 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, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, ste...	12

Packing frozen food	12
1. Place food in packaging.	12
2. Remove air.	12
3. Seal the wrapping.	12
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.	12
Suitable packaging:	12
Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminum foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets.	12
Unsuitable packaging:	12
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.	12
Items suitable for sealing packaged food:	12
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc.	12
Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer.	12
Shelf life of frozen food	12
Storage duration depends on the type of food.	12
■ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:	12
■ Cheese, poultry and meat:	12
■ Vegetables and fruit:	12
Super freezing	12
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavor.	12
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.	12
As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.	12
This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature.	12
If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.	12
Smaller quantities of food (up to 4.4 lbs or 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”.	12
Note:	12
Switching on and off	12
Press button „super freezer“.	12
If the super freezing has been switched on the button is lit.	12
Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 2½ days.	12
