Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment or at room temperature, depend-
ing on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooling).
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen
goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating be-
fore freezing.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in
the freezer compartment.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.
0°C Compartment
In the 0°C compartment the temperature is
controlled automatically. It stays constantly
at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of about
0°C and the relative humidity of between 45
and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the
various kinds of food.
Important!
You can therefore store a variety of fresh
food in the 0°C compartment, where it will
last up to 3 times longer with better quality
compared to normal refrigerator compart-
ments. This allows you to stock more fresh
food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality
and nutritional values (vitamins and miner-
als) are well preserved. Loss of weight in veg-
etables and fruit diminishes. Food yields a
higher degree of nutritional value.
Important!
The 0°C compartment is also suitable for de-
frosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored
up to two days .
Humidity control
Both drawers can be used according to the
desired storage conditions independently of
each other with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate and
is controlled using the slide valve at the
front of the drawer.
• „Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 % rela-
tive humidity
This humidity level is reached when both
sliders are set into this position
ventilation openings are wide open.
• Humid": high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both
sliders are set in this position
the ventilation openings are closed. Hu-
midity is kept and can not escape.
