4 Operation
The effective temperature may at times be different from the selected set value if
the door is open for an extended period of time or if warm foods have been
placed inside. If the temperature is below -5°C, is shown in the temperature
display; if the temperature is above 20°C, is shown.
The temperature of the freezer compartment is adjusted to the temperature of the
refrigerator compartment and cannot be set individually.
4.3 Fast cooling/freezing
To activate:
▸ Hold the button depressed for 3 seconds.
–The fast cooling/freezing function is activated and is shown in the display.
–The function switches off automatically after 36 hours.
To deactivate:
▸ Hold the button depressed for 3 seconds.
–The fast cooling/freezing function is deactivated and no longer shown in the dis-
play.
The fast cooling/freezing function allows a larger quantity of food, e.g. after a shop-
ping trip or freezing pre-cooked meals, to be cooled more quickly. The temperature of
the refrigerating and freezing zone is lowered to the coldest value for 36 hours. During
fast cooling/freezing, the appliance operates at higher power, which increases the noise
level above the normal operating noise level. The function switches off automatically. To
prevent food that is already being stored from warming up: activate fast cooling/freezing
several hours beforehand (e.g. before going shopping).
To achieve maximum freezing capacity, the following must be observed: To freeze the
maximum quantity (see the identification plate), use the bottom of the freezer compart-
ment drawer and activate fast cooling/freezing at least 12hours before storing the fresh
food (pre-freezing). Do not place any more food for freezing in the freezer compartment
for the next 24 hours during the freezing process.
When a smaller quantity of food is to be frozen, the pre-freezing time may be
shortened.
Fast cooling/freezing does not need to be activated if storing food that is already
frozen or freezing up to about 1kg of fresh food a day.
4.4 Switching the appliance off
▸ Hold the button depressed for 3 seconds.
–The appliance is switched off.
–«Off» appears in the digital display for 30 seconds.
If the appliance is being taken out of operation, e.g. for repair work or disposal:
▸ Remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
▸ When not in use for an extended period of time: Clear out, defrost and clean the appli-
ance, and leave the refrigerator compartment door and freezer compartment door
open.
