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

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Different storage zones  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
Due to the natural circulation of the air  
in the appliance, there are different  
temperature zones in the refrigerator.  
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest  
section of the appliance. Make use of  
the different zones when placing food  
in the appliance.  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4 °C.  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans). Danger of explosion.  
This appliance has automatic  
dynamic cooling, which helps to  
keep an even temperature when the  
fan is running. For this reason, the  
difference between the various  
zones is less pronounced.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Do not store cooking oil in the  
refrigerator door. Traces of oil can  
cause stress cracks to occur in the  
plastic components in the door.  
Warmest area  
The warmest area is in the top section  
of the door. Use this for storing butter  
and cheese.  
Food must not touch the back wall of  
the refrigerator, as it may freeze to  
the back wall.  
Coldest area  
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,

Food which should not be  
stored in a refrigerator  
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  
sensitive to cold, such as bananas,  
avocado, papaya, passion fruit,  
aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and  
cucumbers  
affecting other foods, food from drying  
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.  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe  
– Potatoes  
Unpacked meat and vegetables  
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan  
Unpackaged meat and vegetables  
should be stored separately. To avoid  
any microbiological cross-  
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  
contamination, these foods may only be  
stored together if they are wrapped.  
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.

more softly, the spring tension on the  
appliance door can be adjusted.  
However, if the opening angle of the  
door needs to be limited for any reason,  
the hinge can be adjusted to  
accommodate this.  
To do this, use the allen key supplied to  
adjust the door hinges.  
– For example, if the appliance door  
hits an adjacent wall when opened,  
the opening angle can be limited to  
90°.  
^ Place the locking pins supplied for  
limiting the door opening into the  
hinges from above.  
The door opening angle is now limited  
to 90°.  
aTo reduce the opening angle:  
^ Turn the allen key clockwise.  
This tightens the hinges and makes it  
harder to open the door wide.  
bTo open the door fully:  
^ Turn the allen key anticlockwise.
