Operating elements
The temperature adjust-
ment for the refrigerator
compartment is set via
the controller on the
lighting inside the refrig-
erator.
Place it in a central
position (3 - 4) to set
an optimal temperature for normal use. The
more you turn the knob clockwise (5 - 7), the
lower the temperature in the refrigerator will
be. The more you turn the knob counterclock-
wise (1 - 2), the higher the temperature in
the refrigerator will be. Make sure the desired
temperature has been reached both in the
refrigerator and in the freezer by using a ther-
mometer. The "O" position means the device
is switched off.
VeggiBox
The VeggiBox serves as the optimal storage
for fruits and vegetables.
Temperature in the freezer compartment
The temperature in the freezer compartment
is set to ≤ –18°C by default.
Interior Lighting
Do not take off the cover of the interior
lighting. The appliance is equipped with high
quality, durable LED-lighting. If the light is
inoperative, call our after-sales service.
Freezer Door
The freezer door should always stay closed
so that the food does not defrost. Thereby,
the formation of ice and frost accretion is
reduced. Therefore, make sure that the door
is only open for withdrawal of food or rather
for filling the freezer.
Freezing/Storing of Food
Freezer:
• The freezer is designed for the freezing of
food, for the long-term storage of frozen
food as well as for the appliance ion of ice
cubes.
• Fresh food should be frozen to the core as
quickly as possible, so that the nutritional
value, the vitamins, etc. do not get lost. For
this reason, put the food in one or two rows
in the freezer.
• Do not bring them into contact with already
frozen food.
• Do not exceed the freezing capacity per
day! The respective value for the maximum
freezing capacity can be taken from the
appliance specification sheet at the end of
the manual.
• The freezing time shortens if the food to be
frozen is divided into small portions.
• Store the frozen food in the appliance only
packaged. You can use uncoloured plastic
sheets/bags or aluminium foil as packaging
material. Remove the air from the packag-
ing before freezing and check for airtight-
ness. Provide every packaging with a label
with the content, date of freezing and date
of expiry on it.
• Do not freeze carbonated liquids, warm
foods or liquids in a glass container or
bottle.
• Defrost frozen appliances in the refrigera-
tor. Foods keep their taste when they are
defrosted slowly, and the emitted cooling
energy from these appliances can be used
to maintain the intended temperature in the
refrigerator.
• If the appliance is turned off for a longer
period of time, e.g., because of a mains
failure, leave the door closed. Thereby, a
more significant loss of cooling energy can
be avoided. The maximum storage time
during malfunction can be taken from the
appliance specification sheet at the end of
the manual. Because of the higher interior
temperature, the storage time for food is
shortened.
