OPERATION  
Audible Door Alarm - For BioFresh  
Power Failure/Frost-Control  
and Freezer Compartment  
Display - Figure 1  
The audible door alarm will sound when the doors  
have been left open for longer than 60 seconds.  
If  
appears in the display, this means the  
freezer temperature has risen too high  
during the last few hours or days due to a power  
failure.

Audible/Visual Temperature  
Alarm - For Freezer Compartment  
The alarm always sounds if the freezer  
temperature is not low enough based on the  
temperature setting. The temperature display will  
also flash at the same time.  
• Check the quality of the food in case it has  
become too warm or even defrosted.  
• The highest temperature will appear for  
approximately one minute. After that, the actual  
temperature in the freezer will reappear. The  
display can be turned OFF by repeatedly  
pressing the Alarm button.  
This can be caused by:  
Once the power is re-instated, the appliance will  
continue to operate at the most recent temperature  
setting  
• warm, fresh food being placed in the freezer.  
• too much warm air from the outside is entering  
when re-arranging or removing frozen food.  
SuperFrost - Figure 1  
The temperature display will continue to flash  
until the cause has been rectified. It will then stop  
flashing and temperature will display. The audible  
warning signal will also reset.  
Fresh food should be frozen to the core as rapidly  
as possible. Frozen food can also be given a cold  
boost. This is provided by the SuperFrost feature  
(Fig. 1, 4) and ensures the nutritional value,  
appearance and flavor of the food remains intact.  
• For more information, refer to Freezing with  
SuperFrost.

BIOFRESH COMPARTMENT  
Tips:  
The BioFresh Compartment  
• The humidity in the compartment depends on  
The BioFresh compartment enables you to keep  
a range of fresh food fresh for up to three times as  
long as you would in a standard refrigerator, thus  
making your food last longer. Taste, freshness and  
nutritional value (vitamin B and C group content)  
remain largely intact. Spoilage and weight loss in  
vegetables and fruit are reduced, leaving food more  
fresh and natural.  
the moisture content of the food in it, and the fre-  
quency with which the compartment is opened.  
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh; the  
fresher the product and the higher the quality, the  
longer it will keep.  
• Unwrapped meat and vegetables should be  
stored separately in the drawers. If there is not  
enough space for them to be stored separately,  
make sure they are wrapped.  
The automatically controlled storage temperature,  
which is kept between 32°F and 36°F (0°C and  
2°C), and the resulting humidity provide the ideal  
storage conditions for different types of food.  
• Do not allow different types of meat to come into  
contact with one another but keep them pa-  
ckaged separately to avoid premature bacterial  
spoilage.  
The top drawer:  
• is suitable for storing dry and wrapped food (e.g.  
dairy products, meat, fish, cold meats). The sto-  
rage climate in this drawer is relatively dry.  
• Note that protein-rich food spoils more quickly,  
i.e. crustaceans and shellfish spoil faster than  
fish, and fish faster than meat.  
The drawer with humidity control:  
• can be set to “humid” for storage of unwrapped  
salad, vegetables and fruit. When the drawer is  
full, the climate will be “dew-fresh,with approxi-  
mately 90% humidity.  
• Remove food from the drawers some time before  
consumption. Enjoyment will be enhanced in  
this way as the aroma and flavor develop best at  
room temperature.  
You can set the humidity in this drawer to dry or  
moist as desired.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT  
Freezing, Storage - Figure 1  
Information System - Figure 7  
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as  
rapidly as possible. Frozen food can also be given  
a cold boost. This is provided by the Superfrost  
feature and ensures that the nutritional value,  
appearance and flavor of the food remain intact.  
Use frozen food within the recommended period.  
The numbers between the symbols indicate the  
storage period in months for different kinds of  
frozen foods. Storage times given are guidelines  
for food frozen at home. Whether or not the lower  
or upper value is applicable depends on the food  
quality and how it was processed prior to freezing.  
The lower values always apply to food with a high  
fat content.  
Freezing with SuperFrost - Figure 1  
• Press the SuperFrost button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly  
so the SuperFrost button is lit. The SuperFrost  
function will be activated as long as the button  
is lit. The freezer temperature will decrease  
and the appliance will change to the lowest  
temperature.  
pre-cooked meals  
ice-cream  
fish  
sausages  
bread  
mushrooms  
game  
pork  
vegetables  
fruit  
poultry  
• For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally  
sufficient to turn ON SuperFrost six hours  
beforehand. For the maximum amount you will  
need to turn it ON 24 hours before.  
beef/veal  
Figure 7  
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer,  
preferably in the top drawers. If freezing the  
maximum quantity of food, DO NOT use the  
drawers; instead, place the wrapped food  
directly on the glass shelves. Once the food is  
frozen, you can place it into the drawers.  
Freezer Tray* - Figure 8  
The freezer tray allows individual freezing of  
berries, herbs, vegetables and other small goods. It  
prevents foods from freezing together.  
• The SuperFrost function turns OFF  
automatically. Depending on the quantity of  
food placed in the freezer, this will normally  
be between 30 and maximum of 65 hours.  
The freezing process is now complete; the  
SuperFrost button will no longer be lit, and the  
freezer will change back to normal energy-  
saving operation.  
Items being frozen will retain more of their shape,  
and it will be easier to remove exactly the right  
quantity later for use.  
1. Spread the items out loosely on the tray.  
2. Suspend the freezer tray in one of the top  
drawers. Freeze for 10 to 12 hours, then transfer  
to a freezer bag or container and place in a  
drawer.  
IMPORTANT  
You should not turn ON the SuperFrost function:  
when placing frozen food in the freezer;  
when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs  
(2 kg) fresh food daily.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT  
- Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked  
when partially thawed.  
Freezing and Storage  
Do Not Freeze:  
Lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples, pears,  
and fatty meat.  
- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen ( in  
half the normal time).  
Food to Freeze:  
Meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy  
products, bread, baked goods, pre-cooked meals.  
Storage - Figure 9  
Each drawer and shelf can take up to 55 lbs  
(25 kg) of frozen food.  
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or  
reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.  
By removing a drawer and a shelf you can create  
a double height space for big items of frozen food.  
This allows you to freeze things like poultry, large  
pieces of meat or large cakes without first having  
to cut them up, so they can be served “whole”  
afterwards.  
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen  
to come into contact with food already frozen.  
Always keep packages dry in order to avoid  
them sticking together.  
If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you  
can remove the drawers and store items directly on  
the shelves.  
• Always write the date and contents on the  
package and do not exceed the stated storage  
time for the food. This prevents spoiling.  
• Always leave the bottom drawer in the  
appliance.  
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in  
quantities right for your household. To ensure the  
food freezes right through quickly, the following  
quantities should not be exceeded per package:  
If you removed the top drawer, do not cover the fan  
openings at the back, otherwise the freezer will not  
work properly.  
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);  
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).  
• Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting  
them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes,  
remove and quickly cool down in cold water. If  
you blanch with a steamer or microwave oven,  
please follow the operating instructions.)  
Removing Drawers  
Pull forward until the drawer stops and lift out.  
Removing and Installing the  
Shelves  
Lift the shelf up at the front and pull out. To install,  
proceed in reverse and simply push the shelf in as  
far as it will go.  
• Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched  
vegetables before freezing. Only lightly salt and  
season other food. Some spices can alter their  
flavor intensity.  
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain  
carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks  
can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles  
out of the freezer compartment after an hour at  
the most.  
• Always store identical food items together to  
avoid the door being open for unnecessary long  
periods and to save energy.  
• Do not exceed storage times given.  
• Only take out as much food as needed for  
thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as  
quickly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed  
in the following ways:  
- in a microwave oven  
- in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food  
because there is less chance of bacteria  
growth. Use this method for high density food  
such as roasts or poultry.

ICEMAKER  
The production capacity depends on the  
temperature inside the freezer compartment.  
The lower the temperature, the more ice can be  
produced over a period of time.  
To Start the IceMaker - Figure 10  
The IceMaker will only work if the combined  
refrigerator-freezer is connected to the electrical  
outlet. It will only make ice cubes if the freezer  
compartment is operating.  
The ice cubes fall out of the icemaker into the drawer.  
When the ice reaches a certain level in the drawer,  
the appliance stops producing ice automatically.  
The IceMaker is in the top left drawer in the  
freezer compartment of the combined refrigerator-  
freezer.You can identify this drawer by its labeling  
“IceMaker.”  
If you need a large quantity of ice you can change  
out the drawer to the right with the complete  
“IceMaker” drawer. When you close the drawer the  
icemaker will immediately start production.
