The correct temperature

The correct temperature is very

. . . in the freezer

important for storing food. If food is not

stored at the correct temperature,

bacteria can multiply rapidly, causing

the food to spoil. This can be prevented

or slowed down by selecting the

correct temperature. Temperature

affects the rate at which bacteria can

multiply. Reducing the temperature

slows down this process.

For freezing fresh food and storing

frozen food for longer periods of time,

the temperature needs to be at least

0°F (-18°C). At this temperature, most

bacteria stop growing. However, when

the temperature rises above 14°F

(-10°C) the bacteria become active,

causing the food to start deteriorating

and reducing the storage life. This is

why any partially or completely thawed

Using the refrigerator efficiently

Different storage zones

– pre-packed vegetables and other

fresh food with a label stating it

should be kept at a temperature of

approx. 4°C .

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.

Never store explosive materials in

the appliance, or products with

flammable propellants (e.g. spray

cans,). Danger of explosion!

This appliance has a dynamic

cooling feature (DynaCool) helping

to keep an even when the fan is

running temperature. As a result, the

differences between temperature

zones are less pronounced.

If storing high-proof alcohol, make

sure it is tightly closed and stored

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 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.

Coldest area

Leave some space between items

so that air can circulate freely

around them. Do not cover the fan in

the rear wall - this is important for

cooling performance!

The coldest area in the refrigerator

section is directly above the fruit and

vegetable drawers.

Use these cold areas in the refrigerator

for all highly perishable foods, such as:

– fish, meat, poultry,

– deli meats, store-bought meals,

– dishes or baked goods containing

eggs or cream,

– fresh bread dough, pastry dough,

cake batters,

– dairy products.

Freezing and storing food

Maximum freezing capacity

Storing frozen food

To ensure that fresh food placed in the

freezer freezes through to the core as

quickly as possible, the maximum

freezing capacity must not be

When buying frozen food to store in

your freezer, make sure to check:

– that the packaging is not damaged,

– the expiry date and

exceeded. The maximum freezing

capacity within a 24-hour period is

listed on the data plate, as "Freezing

capacity ...kg/24 h".

– the temperature at which the frozen

food is being stored by the shop. If

the food is being stored at a

temperature warmer than 0°F

(-18°C), this reduces the storage life

of the frozen food.

The maximum freezing capacity

specified on the data plate was

determined according to DIN EN ISO

15502.

^ Buy frozen food at the very end of

your shopping trip, and wrap it in

newspaper or use a cooler box or

bag to transport it.

Freezing fresh food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly

as possible so that the nutritional value

appearance and taste are maintained.

Never re-freeze partially or

completely thawed food. However,

once thawed food has been

thoroughly cooked you may freeze it

again.

The longer it takes to freeze the food,

the more water is lost from its cells,

which then shrink.

Later, when the food is defrosted, only

a portion of this liquid is reabsorbed by

the cells.

This means that the food looses a lot of

its moisture. You can recognize this by

the large pool of water that collects

around the defrosted food.

If food is frozen quickly, there is less

time for the cells to lose moisture, so

they shrink less.

Also, because a smaller amount of

moisture is lost, it is easier for the food

to reabsorb it during the defrosting

process. Very little water collects

around the defrosted food!

note that the flavour of some spices

deteriorates when frozen.

Only freeze food that is fresh and in

good condition!

– Do not place very warm or hot foods

or beverages in the freezer to

prevent already frozen food from

thawing and to save energy.

Hints for home freezing

– The following types of food are

suitable for home freezing:

Packing

fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,

vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy

products, baked goods, leftovers,

egg yolks, egg whites and most

pre-cooked meals.

^ Freeze food in portions.

Suitable packing materials:

– plastic film

– freezer bags (polyethylene)

– aluminum foil

– The following types of food are not

suitable for freezing:

– freezer containers.

grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour

cream, mayonnaise, eggs in the

shell, onions, whole raw apples and

pears.

Unsuitable packing materials:

– packing paper

– parchment paper

– cellophane

– To retain colour, taste, flavour and

vitamin C, vegetables should be

blanched prior to freezing. To

blanch, immerse small batches of the

vegetable in boiling water for 2 to 3

minutes. Remove the vegetable and

plunge into cold water to cool

quickly. Transfer to a colander and

drain.

– garbage bags

– plastic shopping bags.

^ Expel as much air as possible from

the package before sealing.

^ Close the packaging tightly with

– rubber bands

– plastic clips

– string or bag ties

– freezer tape.

– Lean meat freezes better than fatty

meat and can be stored for

considerably longer.

Polyethylene freezer bags can also

be sealed with home sealing kits.

– To prevent chops, cutlets, and

steaks from sticking together in solid

blocks, separate them with a sheet of

plastic film.

^ Label the package with the contents

and the date of freezing.

– Do not salt or season raw foods or

blanched vegetables before

freezing. Cooked food may be

seasoned lightly before freezing, but

Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer

When freezing, make sure that

already frozen food does not come

into contact with fresh food being

frozen so that the frozen food does

not start to defrost.

^ When freezing more than 2 kg of

fresh food, switch on the Super

Freeze function ahead of time (see

Super Freeze).

This will protect the food that is

already in the freezer with an added

boost of cold.

Freezing large items

If you wish to freeze large items such

as turkey or game you can remove the

glass shelves between the freezer

drawers. To do this:

Placing food in the freezer

Food to be frozen can be placed

anywhere in the freezer section.

^ Remove the freezer drawers and

carefully lift and slide out the glass

shelves!

Larger quantities should be placed

directly on the glass shelves, where

they will freeze more quickly, which is

better for maintaining quality. To do

this, first remove the freezer drawers.

Always leave the bottom freezer drawer

in the appliance!

Freezer calendar

The freezer calendar on the freezer

drawer shows the normal storage times

in months for various types of

fresh-frozen food.

When you remove the top freezer

drawers, take care not to cover the

ventilation slits on the rear wall of the

appliance. They are important for

trouble-free operation!

For store-bought frozen foods, observe

the storage life specified on the

packaging.

Each freezer drawer and glass shelf

has a maximum load capacity of

25 kg.

^ Spread the food to be frozen across

the entire bottom of the freezer

drawer or across the glass shelves

so that it will freeze through to the

core as quickly as possible.

2 - 3 months:

Cakes, ice cream, stews

3 - 5 months:

^ When placing items in the freezer,

make sure that the packaging and

containers are dry to prevent them

from sticking together when frozen.

To cool drinks quickly, place them in

the refrigerator section, and switch on

the Super Cool function. However, if

you choose to place bottles in the

freezer, make sure that they are not left

in for more than one hour, as they

could burst.

Defrosting frozen foods

Frozen food can be defrosted in various

ways:

– in the microwave,

– in a regular oven, using the "fan" or

"defrost" setting,

Using the cool pack

– at room temperature,

The cool pack prevents the

temperature in the freezer from rising

too quickly in the event of a power

outage.

– in the refrigerator (as it thaws, the

frozen food will help cool the other

food in the refrigerator),

Place the cool pack in the upper

drawer, directly on top of the food. The

cool pack will be at its most effective

after it has been in the freezer for

approximately 24 hours.

– in a steam oven.

Flat pieces of partially thawed meat or

fish can be placed directly into a hot

skillet.

Fruit can be thawed at room

temperature, either in the packaging or

in a covered bowl.

If there is a power outage, place the

cool pack directly on top of the frozen

food in the upper drawer to keep the

food cold for as long as possible.

Most vegetables can be cooked while

still frozen. You can place them directly

in simmering water or hot oil. Because

of changes in the cell structure, the

cooking time is slightly shorter than for

fresh vegetables.

When placing fresh food in the freezer,

use the cool pack to separate the fresh

food from the already frozen food so

that the frozen food does not begin to

thaw.

The cool pack can also be used to

keep food or drinks cool for a short

period of time in a cooler box or bag.

Never re-freeze partially or

completely defrosted food.

However, once defrosted food has

been thoroughly cooked you may

freeze it again.

Troubleshooting

. . . the temperature in the refrigerator

or freezer section is too cold?

Repairs to electrical appliances

must be carried out by qualified

professionals. Work performed by

unqualified persons can place the

user at considerable risk of harm.

^ Set a warmer temperature.

^ Check that the doors are properly

closed.

^ Did you freeze a large quantity of

food all at once?

However, you can correct the following

minor problems yourself:

^ Check whether the metal coil (heat

exchanger) at the rear of the

appliance is dusty.

. . . the door to the freezer section

cannot be opened and closed several

times in succession?

^ The doors have been opened

frequently, or a large amount of fresh

food has been put in all at once for

freezing.

This is no cause for concern. Repeated

opening and closing of the door can

cause strong suction. The door can be

opened without difficulty if you wait a

few minutes.

^ Check that the doors are closing

properly.

. . . the compressor runs non-stop?

To save energy, the compressor

switches to a lower rpm when less

cooling is required. This increases the

appliance's running time.

Installation information

If the room is too cold, it will cause the

cooling system in the appliance to

switch off for too long. This may lead to

higher temperatures in the appliance

and the frozen food may even start

thawing!

Do not place any devices that

produce heat (such as a toaster or

microwave) on top of the appliance.

This would increase the energy

consumption of the appliance!

Proper ventilation

This fridge/freezer should not be

placed side-by-side with a second

model.

The air behind the appliance gets

warm. In order to ensure adequate

ventilation, you must make sure that the

ventilation slits are not covered or

blocked in any way.

Because the appliance does not

have heated side walls, a

side-by-side arrangement can lead

to the build-up of condensation

water.

Also, the ventilation slits must be

dusted/cleaned on a regular basis.

Contact your dealer for advice.

Installing the appliance

The ventilation cross-sections must

not be blocked or covered in any

way.

They also need to be

dusted/cleaned on a regular basis.

If installing with standard kitchen

cabinets (max. depth 580 mm), the

appliance can be set up directly next to

the kitchen cabinet. In that case the

side of the appliance door would

project 34 mm and the middle of the

appliance 55 mm beyond the front of

the kitchen cabinet. This allows the

appliance door to open and close

properly.

If the appliance is installed next to a

wall d, a gap of at least 55 mm is

needed on the hinge side between the

wall d and the appliance b. This

allows space for the handle when the

door is open.

The appliance can be installed in any

fitted kitchen. To match the appliance

to the height of the fitted kitchen, a

suitable adapter cabinet a can be

installed over the appliance.

A ventilation gap of at least 2 inches

(50 mm) must be provided between the

adapter cabinet and the kitchen wall.

The ventilation cross-section below the

room ceiling must be at least 46 in²

(300 cm²) so that warm air can escape

without obstruction. Otherwise the

appliance has to work harder, which

results in increased energy

consumption.
