SmartFresh drawers
The SmartFresh drawers provide the
right combination of temperature and
humidity. The result is freshness up to
three times longer than in the other
zones of the refrigerator.
Using the SmartFresh drawers
^ Use the sensor button to select the
desired drawer.
Storage temperatures
For fresh foods that are not adversely
affected by cold, the best range is

appear yellow.
Humidity
^ Use the sensor buttons to select the
food type(s).
The closer the humidity in the appliance
matches the moisture content of the
food, the more moisture the food will
retain, and the fresher and crisper it will
stay over a longer period of time.
– Several food types can be selected
at the same time.
– To delete a food type, simply press it
again.
The optimal humidity is determined on
the basis of the food stored in the
appliance.
– Depending on the food types
selected, the optimal humidity is
determined for the SmartFresh
drawers.
Proper humidity is assisted by 2
humidity filters located above the
SmartFresh drawers. These filters allow
air to pass through, yet retain moisture.
– The "deli" and "dairy" settings are the
most energy efficient.
^ Touch the access button to confirm
the settings.
^ Place the food in the drawer.

SmartFresh drawers
For optimal storage conditions, it is
always best to store similar foods
together in one drawer.
The upper SmartFresh drawer is the
best place to store moisture
sensitive foods.
Foods that are best stored under dry
conditions
– fresh fish and shellfish, meats,
poultry, sausage, dairy products and
deli salads.
Foods that are best stored under
moist conditions
– fresh produce, e.g., vegetables,
lettuce, herbs, mushrooms,
cabbage, fruit.
Remember that higher moisture levels
can only be attained when the food is
stored unpacked so air can circulate
freely.

Using the refrigerator efficiently
Different storage zones
Coldest area
Due to the natural circulation of 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
these different zones when placing
food in the appliance.
The coldest area in the refrigerator is
directly above the SmartFresh drawers.
The temperature in the drawers
themselves is even colder.
Use these cold areas in the refrigerator
for all highly perishable foods, such as:
– fish, meat, poultry,
This appliance uses a dynamic
cooling feature to establish a
constant temperature during
cooling. As a result, the differences
between temperature zones are less
pronounced.
– deli meats, store-bought meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh bread dough, pastry dough,
cake batters,
Leave some space between items, so
air can circulate freely around them.
Make sure the ventilation slits are not
covered - this is important for the
cooling performance.
– dairy products.
If storing high-proof alcohol, make
sure it is tightly closed and stored
upright.
Warmest area
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.
The warmest area is in the top section
of the door. Use this area to store items
such as butter and cheese.
Do not allow food to touch the rear
wall of the appliance, it may freeze
to the wall.

SuperCool
When the SuperCool function is
activated, the appliance is cooled as
cold and quickly as possible (to a
factory-preset temperature).
Switching off SuperCool
The SuperCool function automatically
switches off after approx. 6 hours. The
sensor button turns white, and the
appliance continues running at normal
power.
The SuperCool function is ideal for the
rapid cooling of drinks and for
refrigerating large quantities of foods.
To save energy, the SuperCool function
can be switched off early, once the
food and/or drinks are sufficiently
chilled.
Switching on SuperCool
^ Touch the sensor button for the
refrigerator so it turns yellow.
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor button
so that it turns white.
The temperature display for the zone
selected returns to the original
temperature setting.
^ Touch the SuperCool sensor button
so it turns yellow.
The appliance now continues running
at normal power.
In the temperature display for the
refrigerator zone, the new temperature
setting appears, 35°F (2°C).
The temperature in the appliance now
begins to fall, with maximum cooling in
the refrigerator zone.

Installing the appliance
Anti-tip brackets
The anti-tip brackets help keep the
appliance safely attached to the
installation space, which helps prevent
tipping.
Two anti-tip brackets are
recommended for each appliance or
appliance combination (side-by-side).
^ Drill pilot holes:
–
1/8" (3 mm) for the 5 x 60 mm wood
screws
–
1/16" (2 mm) for the 4 x 15 mm wood
screws.
The distance "D" between the anti-tip
brackets b is the width of the
appliance.
^ Tightly secure the anti-tip brackets in
the niche.
Be certain the screws penetrate
through the flooring and into the wall
plate a minimum of 3/4" (19 mm).
^ Position the anti-tip brackets b on
the left and right walls of the
appliance niche.
^ Mark the holes through the anti-tip
brackets b on the floor of the
installation niche.
^ Set the brackets aside.
Assure that there are no electrical
wires in the area which the screws
could penetrate - risk of injury and
damage.

Installing the appliance
Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
– The beam must cover the appliance
by at least 2" (50.8 mm).
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely, an alternative
anti-tip device can be used.
^ Mark the installation height (lower
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of
the niche.
Ensure that there is no "give" between
the appliance and the anti-tip device.
^ Select screws according to the
thickness of the wooden beam.
Example: 3 ½" (89 mm) screw for 2x4
beam.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam to existing studs.
^ Determine the number of screws
based on the cavity width, to ensure
that the beam will be attached
securely.
^ Locate wall studs near the rear wall
of the cavity and mark drill holes in
the beam.
^ Pre-drill the wooden beam.
^ Attach the wooden beam to the rear
wall of the niche.
If a side-by-side installation is
desired, connect the two appliances
together. See the Installation Manual
included with the "Merging Kit".
^ Cut a wooden beam
(cross section min. 3" x 4"
[75 mm x 100 mm] to the required
length).
The length is equal to the width of the
installation niche.
– If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, select a beam with a
larger cross section, or attach two
beams.

Installing the appliance
Sliding the appliance into the
installation space
The plug of the appliance should be
easily accessible after installation.
If the plug is not accessible after the
appliance has been installed,
disconnection from the power
supply should be completed via the
circuit breaker.
In the case of side-by-side
installations, a separate outlet must
be used for each appliance.
^ To prevent the power cord from
becoming caught:
Tie a piece of string to the middle of
the power cord and feed it forward
under the appliance. When sliding
the appliance in, pull the cable
forward c.
^ Unscrew the plinth.
^ Carefully slide the appliance into the
space until the height-adjustable
wheels interlock with the anti-tip
brackets d.
If resistance is felt when attempting to
slide the appliance into the installation
niche - for example, because the floor
is uneven,
^ Turn the rear adjustable wheels
slightly outward (see "Aligning the
appliance"), then push the appliance
in.
^ To protect the corners of the
installation space, attach the
supplied edge protector a on both
sides with adhesive tape.
Be careful not to damage the power
cord attached to the floor.
^ Plug the appliance into the power
outlet b.
^ Remove the edge protector a.

Aligning the appliance
A mark is located on the appliance
base and is used as a standard gauge
for height adjustment. When adjusting
the height, align this mark at 1 1/4"
(32 mm) above the floor.
^ Align the appliance with the custom
front.
^ Place a marking-out level over the
installation aids e on the door.
^ Unscrew the height-adjustable feet
until the mark on the base has
reached the indicated guide
dimension 1 1/4" (32 mm).
It is very important to comply with
this dimension for the subsequent
alignment of the custom door fronts.
The installation aids e have been
designed for the following total
thicknesses of custom doors:
–
3/4" (19 mm)
– 1 1/2" (38 mm).
Be sure to take into account the
possible differing thicknesses of the
custom door that is to be fitted
subsequently.
The height-adjustable feet at the front
and rear can all be adjusted from the
front.
^ Align the custom door with a level.
– Front: with an open-ended wrench
