Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
old appliance with your household
waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of it before or during
transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework
and oil in the compressor will be
contained, and will not leak out into the
environment.

The correct temperature
It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
Dynamic cooling
The dynamic cooling fan automatically
switches on when the cooling system
for the refrigerator switches on. It
distributes the temperature in the
appliance to all areas more evenly so
that all the food will be chilled to about
the same degree.
The temperature in the appliance will

The coldest area in the refrigerator is
directly above the PerfectFresh zone.
However, the PerfectFresh zone is even
colder.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator. Do not
cover the fan in the rear wall of the
refrigerator, as this is essential for
keeping the appliance cool.
Use these areas in the refrigerator and
in the PerfectFresh zone for all delicate
and highly perishable food, e.g.
– fish, meat, poultry,
– sausage products, ready meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche dough,
– soft cheese and other dairy
products,

Storing food correctly
Food should generally be stored
covered or packaged in the refrigerator
(there are some exceptions to this rule
in the PerfectFresh zone - see below).
This will prevent food smells from
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration.
This includes:
– Fruit and vegetables which are

avocado, papaya, passion fruit,
aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and
cucumbers

out, and also any cross-contamination
of bacteria. The growth of bacteria,
such as salmonella, can be avoided by
setting the correct temperature and
maintaining good standards of hygiene.

When shopping for food
The freshness of food when first placed
in the appliance is an important factor
in determining how long it stays fresh,
and how long it can be kept in the
refrigerator. Time out of the refrigerator,
e.g. during transportation, should be
kept to a minimum. For example, do not
allow food to stay in a hot car for too
long. Once food has started to

deteriorate, this process cannot be
reversed. As little as two hours outside
the refrigerator can cause food to start
deteriorating.

Using the PerfectFresh zone
For every type of food, there are ideal
storage conditions to ensure it stays
fresh as long as possible, retaining
both flavour and vitamins.
What are the advantages of the
PerfectFresh zone?
As food remains fresh for up to three
times as long, the advantages for you
are:
The important factors for this are the
storage temperature and the humidity.
– fresher, tastier food,
The correct combination of temperature
and humidity is a unique feature of the
PerfectFresh zone. Food can be stored
for up to three times longer in the
PerfectFresh zone than in a standard
refrigerator.
– greater convenience due to practical
storage, and
– greater savings due to quality
preservation.
Storing food in the dry and
humidity-controlled
compartments
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to the
cold is 0 - 3 °C. This is the temperature
range which is automatically
The PerfectFresh zone is divided into
two areas, the dry compartment and
the humidity-controlled compartment.
maintained in the PerfectFresh zone.
Food can be stored there at this
temperature without loss of freshness
for considerably longer than in a
standard refrigerator, as the
The dry compartment
The dry compartment has a relatively
low humidity level that is approx. the
same as that in the refrigerator.
deterioration process is decelerated
at this temperature.
So the main advantage of the dry
compartment is the low temperature of
0 °C, rather than the humidity.
Humidity level
The closer the storage humidity is to the
humidity content of the food, the crisper
and fresher the food remains over a
longer period, as the water content of
the food is largely retained.
The dry compartment is ideal for storing
particularly sensitive foods, such as
– fresh fish, shellfish, meat, poultry,
sausages, dairy products and
salads.
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
21

Using the PerfectFresh zone
Always keep these foods covered or
wrapped.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh
zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
Exception: Meat. The surface of the
meat dries out slightly, helping to
prevent the growth of bacteria, which
results in the meat lasting longer. To
prevent the risk of bacterial
cross-contamination and meat
deteriorating, do not let one type of
meat come into direct contact with
another type.
Can all types of food be stored
together?
Do not place all types of food together
in one drawer. Some types of food do
not store well together. Aromas and
flavours can transfer from one type of
food to another (e.g. carrots absorb the
smell and flavour of onions very easily).
Some food also gives off a natural gas
(ethylene) which speeds up the rate at
which other food perishes.
Humidity-controlled compartment
The humidity-controlled compartment
has a regulator which is used to adjust
the relative humidity. Slide the regulator
to the relative humidity level required
(- = high humidity, , = low humidity).
If high humidity - is selected, a
humidity level of 90 % can be achieved
when the compartment is full. The
humidity depends strongly on the type
and quanltiy of food being stored.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which produce a large amount of this
natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,
peaches, plums, avocado, figs,
blueberries, melons and beans.
Please take into account that high
humidity is only achieved and is only
effective on the food if the food is
stored unwrapped or loosely
wrapped.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of fruit
and vegetables are:
– The humidty-controlled compartment
at the high humidity setting - is
ideal for storing freshly harvested
products such as vegetables, salad,
herbs, mushrooms and home-grown
seasonal fruit.
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pears, nectarines and peaches.
Example: Broccoli should not be stored
with apples, as apples produce a large
amount of natural gas to which broccoli
is very sensitive. The result is a shorter
than expected storage time for the
broccoli.
– At the low humidity setting ,, the
atmosphere inside the
humidity-controlled compartment is
the same as in the dry compartment.

making sure there is a gap all round of
42 mm.
Securing the appliance in the
niche

the gap at 42 mm all round.
The hinges and the covers will now
protrude by the dimension of the door
fitting.
Tip: Removing the door fittings. This will
ensure that the door is flush with the
surrounding kitchen unit furniture doors.
If the all round gap of 42 mm is not
maintained between the appliance
casing and the front edge of the
housing unit side wall the door may
not shut properly.
^ Press the appliance against the
housing unit wall on the hinge side.
This could lead to a build-up of ice
and condensation and also cause
operational faults.

unit at the top and bottom, screw the
long 4 x 20 mm chip board screws a
into the hinges at the top and bottom.
^ Align the appliance height on both
sides by altering the adjustable feet
using the spanner supplied c.
