

Ambient temperature

and ventilation

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific

climate class. Depending on the climate

class, the appliance can be operated at

the following temperatures.

The climate class can be found on

the rating plate. Fig. .

Note

The appliance is fully functional within

the room temperature limits

of the indicated climatic class. If

an appliance of climatic class SN

is operated at colder room temperatures,

the appliance will not be damaged up to

a temperature of +5 °C.

Room temperature switch

If the room temperature drops

below +16 °C, the freezer compartment

of appliances belonging to climate

class SN may become too warm. In

an extreme case the frozen food may

thaw. To prevent this from happening,

switch on the room temperature switch.

As a result, the refrigeration unit

operates more frequently. The appliance

can now be operated at a room

temperature of +10 °C to +16 °C.

To switch on, press the room

temperature switch, Fig. 2/B. Red mark

becomes visible. The light inside

the appliance is lit at a reduced

luminosity.

To save energy, switch off the room

temperature switch as soon as the room

temperature exceeds +16 °C.

Ventilation

Fig. 1/6

The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via

the ventilation grille in the base. Never

cover the ventilation grille or place

anything in front of it. Otherwise

the refrigeration unit must work harder,

increasing the power consumption.

Connecting

the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least

1 hour until the appliance is switched on.

During transportation the oil in

the compressor may have flowed into

the refrigeration system.

Before switching on the appliance for

the first time, clean the interior of

the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning

the appliance”).

Electrical connection

The socket must be near the appliance

and also freely accessible following

installation of the appliance.

The appliance complies with the

protection class I. Connect the appliance

to 220–240 V/50 Hz alternating current

via a correctly installed socket with

protective conductor. The socket must

be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

Climate class Permitted ambient

temperature

SN +10 °C to 32 °C

N+16 °C to 32 °C

ST +16 °C to 38 °C

T+16 °C to 43 °C

For appliances operated in non-

European countries, check whether the

stated voltage and current type match

the values of your mains supply match

the values of the mains supply. This

information can be found on the rating

plate. Fig. .

Getting to know your

appliance

Please fold out the illustrated last page.

These operating instructions refer

to several models.

The features of the models may vary.

The diagrams may differ.

Switching

the appliance on

Turn temperature controller, Fig. 2/A,

from position “0”. The appliance begins

to cool. Light is switched on when

the door is open.

Operating tips

The refrigerator compartment

temperature rises:

■if the appliance door is opened

frequently,

■if large quantities of food are placed in

the refrigerator compartment,

■if the ambient temperature is high.

Setting

the temperature

Turn temperature controller, Fig. 2/A, to

the required setting.

When the controller is at a medium

setting, the temperature drops

to approx. +4 °C in the coldest zone.

Fig. 3.

Higher settings lower the temperature in

the refrigerator and freezer

compartments.

We recommend:

■Perishable food should not be stored

above +4 °C.

■Low setting for short-term

storage of food (energy-saving mode).

■Medium setting for long-term storage

of food.

A Freezer section

B Refrigerator compartment

■Select a higher setting only

temporarily, when the door is

frequently opened or large quantities

are placed in the refrigerator

compartment.

Refrigeration capacity

The temperature in the refrigerator

compartment may rise temporarily if

large amounts of food or a lot of drinks

are placed inside.

Therefore the temperature controller

should be set to a higher setting for

approx. 7 hours.

Freezer compartment

The temperature in the freezer

compartment

depends on the temperature

in the refrigerator compartment.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can

be found inside your appliance on

the rating plate. Fig. .

Refrigerator

compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal

storage location for ready meals, cakes

and pastries, preserved food, condensed

milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables

sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.

Note when loading products:

Wrap or cover food before placing in

the appliance. This will retain the aroma,

colour and freshness of the food. In

addition, flavours will not be transferred

between foods and the plastic parts will

not become discoloured.

Note

Avoid contact between food and rear

panel. Otherwise the air circulation will

be impaired.

Food or packaging could freeze to

the rear panel.

Note the chill zones in

the refrigerator compartment!

The air circulation in the refrigerator

compartment creates different chill

zones:

■Coldest zone is in the pull-out

container. Fig. 3

Note

Store perishable food (e.g. fish,

sausage, meat) in the coldest zones.

■Warmest zone is at the very top of

the door.

Note

Store e.g. cheese and butter in

the warmest zone. When served,

the cheese will not have lost its flavour

and the butter will be easy to spread.

The freezer

compartment

Using the freezer compartment

■To store deep-frozen food.

■To make ice cubes.

■To freeze small quantities of food.

Note

Ensure that the freezer compartment

door has been closed properly. If

the door is open, the frozen food will

thaw. The freezer compartment will

become covered in thick ice. Also: waste

of energy due to high power

consumption!

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing

capacity within 24 hours can be found

on the rating plate. Fig. .

Freezing and storing

food

Purchasing frozen food

■Packaging must not be damaged.

■Use by the ”use by” date.

■Temperature in the supermarket

freezer must be -18 °C or lower.

■If possible, transport deep-frozen food

in a cool bag and place quickly in

the freezer compartment.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional

value, flavour and colour, vegetables

should be blanched before freezing.

Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and

asparagus do not require blanching.

Literature on freezing and blanching

can be found in bookshops.

Note

Keep food which is to be frozen away

from food which is already frozen.

■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, stews, cooked meat and

fish, potato dishes, soufflés and

desserts.

■The following foods are not suitable

for freezing:

Types of vegetables, which are usually

consumed raw, such as lettuce or

radishes, eggs in shells, grapes,

whole apples, pears and peaches,

hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured

milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and

mayonnaise.

Note

When freezing fresh food, the

refrigeration unit runs for longer. As a

result, the refrigerator compartment

temperature may drop too low. Increase

the temperature in the refrigerator

compartment.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour

or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.

2. Remove air.

3. Seal the wrapping.

4. Label packaging with contents

and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film

made of polyethylene, aluminium foil,

freezer containers.

These products are available

from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable packaging:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,

cellophane, bin liners and used

shopping bags.

Items suitable for sealing packaged

food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-

resistant adhesive tape, etc.

Bags and tubular film

made of polyethylene can be sealed

with a film heat sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food

Depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18 °C:

■Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes

and pastries:

up to 6 months

■Cheese, poultry and meat:

up to 8 months

■Vegetables and fruit:

up to 12 months

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application,

select one of the following options:

■at room temperature

■in the refrigerator

■in an electric oven, with/without fan

assisted hot-air

■in the microwave

ã=Caution

Do not refreeze food which is beginning

to thaw or which has already thawed. It

can only be refrozen when it has been

used to prepare a ready meal (boiled

or fried).

No longer store the frozen produce

for the max. storage period.
